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.
Ed check your calendar It is JUNE 1 not APRIL 1.....WW.

I made one virtually identical to that one for my wife. Turns out,
she said it did not match the rest of the furniture so she sold it at
a yard sale. Got $60 for it.

No one would undertake such a project today -- too many potential lawsuits from all the flying compartments. The craftsmanship is extraordinary.

It has the look of being made in the 1800's. 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.

My guess - British, done while on a tour of duty to India.
A British Army Engineer. ME. seems to fit my mind.

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

You too? 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...

I made one virtually identical to that one for my wife. Turns out,
she said it did not match the rest of the furniture so she sold it at
a yard sale. Got $60 for it.
