i am currently in the design process of a cabinet that looks like a full length mirror but upon further investigation it opens up into a  fairly deep cabinet which will eventually hold jewellery, scotch, or both!

its certainly possible, i am just having trouble working out how to make it structurally sound while still having it be able to angle slightly to accomodate different heights. i was planning on putting some type of large round dowel through the middle supported by a (hopefully) well triangulated base. as for a locking mechanism i was fiddling with the idea of a couple anchor holes along the sides of the support legs and that correspond to ones on the side of the cabinet, and some type of pin or key that holds it in place once the desired angle is established.

also, wondering what would be suggested as the best material to make it out of. thin and light, but strong is what i need. im definitely going to veneer this baby.

i dont really know what im talking about, that is why i am here!

heres a not very detailed side view of what i am trying to accomplish….

 

any thoughts!?

thanks for your time and input everybody. its appreciated
