Map file or flat file plans?

Hi crew,

Is anyone here familiar with the type of furntiture I'm discussing? A flat
file or map file is a type of filing cabinet for maps or large drawings.
Some modern examples are here:

If anyone knows of some nift plans, please let me know,

Thanks,

Dave

It's a box, a way over price one at that, with wide thin drawers. . The site
even gives materials, the dimensions and little blow ups of the drawer
details. What more do you need?

well, I gave the link so there would be no confusion as to the type of
furniture I was discussing. I was hoping for more attractive plans, perhaps
for an antique style (which can be very attractive).

Those things are not in the front office. They don't need to be fancy!!

I have made them but don't have plans. Just decide the largest size sheets
you are going to store and make the inside drawer measurements 1/2 to 1 inch
larger and make each drawer 1 to 2 inches deep. Build a 3/4 ply side case and
use telescoping slides that mount to the bottom of the drawer and the side of
the case.
