Robin's Father's hobby was wood working. He built all the Frank Loyd Wright designed furniture to go in his parent's Home in Charles City, Iowa. He made puzzles ever since he was a child during the depression, when he would rent them to neighborhood families. He had a wood working shop his entire life.
After he passed away, we were given the opportunity to select some items from his home. In the garage was a cabinet that had 21 drawers in it. It was wooden and painted completely white had hinges on it and one wheel to roll it out from under a work bench . It had been used for years to store screws, nuts and bolts.
I though it would be great used for that in our garage. Robin had other ideas, so I found myself stripping the paint. The first thing to be revealed was a metal plaque on the front. It turned out to be an Oak jewelers cabinet. Needles to say, it never saw my garage after that.
