    Can anyone identify this cabinet?
    Looks like oak, about 3 feet x 3 feet x 41/2 feet.
    As long as I can remember, dads used it as a woorkbench in his shed.

      The carving looks to be of minimal interest. A lot of odd or "interesting" furniture ended up in my father's garage and workshop also.

      Curious how one does work in there?

      Thanks for your input PhilDMorris.
      I guess sixty+ years ago it made sense to use anything you could get hold of to make use in the shed.
      "Make do and mend" type era.

      Spiritbear, it's a mess now I know because dad passed away a while ago and that small shed was full of all kinds of things, it's not been used for sometime, (apart from nesting birds), it's a wreck that had to be cleared, thats why theres stuff everywhere.
      I once asked dad how he managed to do anything in there, his reply "it works for me"
