Coffee on the go
We needed somewhere to store the cups, coffee beans, tea bags etc. I had various pieces of recycled and recovered wood, so a cabinet on wheels was the order of the day (or the previous half year - this one took a while for me to get around to finishing).
Two doors and a drawer front were made from recycled jarrah, bevelled around the edges and then with coffee bean motifs routed into them to form handles. The jarrah is joined from multiple pieces, with splits and holes filled with epoxy.
The drawer front was attached to a drawer made from leftover macrocarpa from some Adirondack chairs. Dovetailing macrocarpa is not recommended. It's even softer than cheap pine and splits easily.
Two 'trolley' handles were made from a length of broom handle and then secured in place to a recycled rimu carcass with epoxy and brass pins.
Castors came from the usual suspects (Bunnings) and the cabinet back (and drawer bottom) is leftover 3mm plywood.
The completed cabinet below shows off the raised panel effect on the drawer front and cupboard doors - a bit of a modern take on traditional cabinet doors.
And here's the completed mobile cabinet tucked under the kitchen bench ready to serve barista duty either in place or on the go.
