HOOSIER KITCHEN CABINET

We are pleased to announce that this plan is done with the assistance of Kennedy Hardware. They offer a complete hardware kit for this authentic Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet. Cabinets like this set the standard for kitchen across America for almost 80 years. Today they are collectors pieces. This design is a exact reproduction of a piece made by The Hoosier Manufacturing Company in Indiana.
Size: 72" high by 40" wide and 24" deep.
Skill level Beginner/Intermediate

HACIENDA HOPE CHEST

This chest with pinned lap joints is a very easy construction project. We detail in the plans the cover for the lock, which is made of 1/16" steel. This is easily cut with a saber saw with a steel cutting blade. The chest can be lined with cedar planking which is available at most home centers.

MISSION ENTERTAINMENT CENTER

This unit with the locking wooden key inserts in the doors is distinctive of the Mission Style. The Center will accommodate most 32" televisions and VCR's. The TV is located on a pull-out tray that is mounted on a swivel. The bottom drawers can be used to store videotapes, CD's, clothing or blankets.

LINGERIE DRESSER

This special dresser, designed for a lady's use is one of our more popular designs. The design is very simple and the entire project can be constructed in a few weekends. It is sure to please and makes a great gift for Mother's Day, birthdays, graduation and Valentines Day. The original was constructed of red oak and hardwood plywood. The dresser has seven drawers with half blind dovetails. Our well detailed instructions insure you of a fine piece of furniture that she will love.
