Congratulations...it's a beautiful "scrap" project.

Here is a look at a new cabinet that I made out of leftover pieces of
Cherry that I had from various projects. Measurements are; 12" wide x
18" deep x 24" tall. It is my entry into the Cutest Cabinet in the
World Competition, Munchkin Division.:) I realized I had enough wood
left over, from previous projects, to do something, that might make
for an interesting piece of woodworking. Here is the result. It's
purpose is as a rolling cabinet that can be positioned near various
sewing machine areas to provide space to use for placing ancillary
sewing notions during the sewing process. It is also made to house a
spare sewing machine and thereby provide "ballast" to an otherwise
tipsy design, that is tall and narrow. All Cherry with Poplar drawer
sides and back.

Enjoy,

I have a number of trivets made from quilting material, that I have
sewn some of that rubber shelf liner to the back and that stops them
from sliding around. It works for me and provides a cushioned area to
lay the notions on. There is a pull out drawer slide just beneath the
top of the cabinet sort of like a cutting board that is in some
kitchen cabinets. I won't be cutting on it directly, but it will get
some use and then can be slid away out of sight, to hide any
scratches. I also have a couple of black mouse pads that will do that
sort of duty if necessary.
