Can you think of how much it would cost today to build one of those. The workmanship is outstanding. I have seen other items that had hidden drawers and compartments. The workmanship has always been outstanding. Paul T. |

What fascinates me is that workmanship without the advancement of our tools today. |

Damned - I thought I was the only one. And... I tied up an entire weekend building the damned thing. I could have gone out and played a round of golf and smoked some sausage... Well, the plans were free in the March 1953 edition of Popular Mechanics. No need to tie up a weekend though as I cut the finishing time. I rolled on a couple of coats of Sears ceiling white paint I had. Dries fast. Fills the brad holes too. |

My guess - British, done while on a tour of duty to India.
A British Army Engineer. ME. seems to fit my mind. Martin On 6/1/2013 11:33 AM, PHT wrote: On Sat, 01 Jun 2013 07:20:49 -0400, Meanie wrote: http://www.youtube.com/embed/MKikHxKeodA?rel=0 Too cool!
