Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
That chest of drawers is slick. Did you purchase that or make it yourself? How many drawers are in it and approximately how many knives does it hold? Dimensions??Gunstock Jack wrote:Awwww! There ain't nothin' in them uther drawers.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Just something I knocked together. There are eight drawers about 7 1/2 inches by 17 inches inside dimension, and they hold about 22 knives per drawer, depending on knife size and how close you pack 'em. They are actually 4 separate units that fit inside the shelves in the safe. It makes 'em easy to fondle when I just have a minute or two.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Wow! Those are some awesome knives shown on this link, really superb! I especially like the mammoth ivories that Welderbob and Sauconian showed. Beautiful work by Darksev as well. Just a pleasure to look at everyone's favorites! The 73 and 23 patterns are great. Here's another pattern I like.

how can we get a better description of this cabinet? I would love to make one, what do you have on the inside holding the drawers???Gunstock Jack wrote:Just something I knocked together.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
The drawers are really simple. They are 4 units, each about 8x8x18 inches. They are simply a 5 sided box with the front left open. The back fits inside the other sides. This gives you some shear strength. Before assembling the box, use your tablesaw to cut two 3/16" longetudial grooves into each side. These will be your drawer guides. Then, cut two bottoms out of 1/8 inch tempered masonite. Size these so they will slide in and out of the slots you cut in the sides. Cut some small sides and glue and pin to the bottoms. Voila! Maybe I can post some picts later if you want. Good Luck and mind your fingers!

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Here's a couple picts of how the boxes are constructed. The rabbeted joint in the box corners help to give the unit more strength. I built my shelves from scrap wood, only buying the masonite.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Thanks Jack. If I still had my shop, I'd be out there making sawdust as we speak. Unfortunately, when I sold the house, the shop went with it and most of my floor tools didn't make the move either. I still have the table saw but it's been through two "hundred year" floods since I moved here and needs to be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. Maybe I'll get the ambition this coming summer.
In the meantime, I'll keep your design in the back of my head. I like it a lot. Simple, easy and functional.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Nice collection you got going on there BG I like that burnt stag. Is that a good & plenty #23M on the bottom?
Great sets M&M and WBob
I pulled out one of my primitive bones. It's hard to pick a fave. Choose this one cause I like the 23 pattern.
At least today anyway. It changes alot.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Yes, easternknives, that is a good & plenty #23M. I had my eye on that beauty for about a year! It's #30 and I purchased it from JRE online. I love the 23 because they'll feel good in your hand. (Although I still don't carry mine) Right now I'm really interested in the GEC stockmen.
Your 23 primitive bone scales are really nice.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
I like the primitive bone too, and the spiral buffalo horn is also sweet, I don't have any of those yet. But I do have one primitive bone #73.
