Snooker and Pool Ball Cabinet

Snooker and Pool ball cabinet with lift out ball storage trays.

Wanted somewhere to store the differnt balls and wanted lift out trays so the balls could be easily carried to the table.

Apart from the top the cabinet is made from Poplar.  The top is made from Pine and the sides are 1/4 inch Birch ply.

Used full extension drawer slides.

Actually made the ball trays first and then made the cabinet to fit based on the width of those and the depth they needed to fully extend by to allow the trays to be lifted out.

Made a couple of mistakes on this one and had to scrap the first drawer I made as put pocket holes on the pieces for the sides not the front and back.  Kept the drawer though to use for another project.  Lesson learnt!!

The poplar legs were on offer at Home Depot and only $2.50 each.  Bargain!!

Estimated Cost
$130 - balls not included!! :-)
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Minwax Preconditioner. Varathane Kona. Varathane Matte Poly. Top was also waxed to give it some protection.
