I have been looking around town for a pipe stand/cabinet/rack and have been unsuccessful at finding anything that tickled my fancy. I had seen some items on Ebay but it seemed a bit too pricey and shipping costs seemed to really add up fast.
Last week plumbernator linked to a Sherlock Holmes Pipe Cabinet. I (like many others) watched it for a time. The auction was ended early as the seller sold the thing for $250 on his Buy it Now auction.
So I kept looking around. I cast my net far and wide. Rather than just looking on Craigslist in Tucson, I also decided to look in Phoenix as well since it's not too far from me (1.5 - 2 hour drive).
Lady luck was finally on my side!
I found the same Sherlock Holmes Pipe Cabinet for a whopping $25! I couldn't believe it was still available when I called the guy.
The inside has been painted green and the door and frame are painted as well.
Here are the pics from the Craigslist ad. I haven't taken any pictures yet. I got home late and didn't want to bust out the camera. I may take some better pics tomorrow.
I may end up stripping and staining the cabinet or I may be able to talk my wife into lining the interior with velvet or some other material. I have ZERO carpentry skills so I may not want to get too ambitious. Any thoughts?
I am happy to have the Sherlock glass and a place to finally store my pipes safely!
