I have been volunteered to make something very nice for an auction to support a non-profit medical transportation service for the elderly & disabled.
One of the sponsors is a local jewelry store. So I am looking at ideas for Jewelry Boxes.
My wife (the volunteeror) and I found this when searching for design ideas. It's her favorite (although I don't like the wrought iron hardware at all).
My question here is about the slide-out/swing-out necklace & earring racks. I think I may have an idea how they work, but I'm not sure.
It looks to me like there is a wood rail top & bottom that slides in and out a short distance. In those rails is a T-slot that a "button" (I'm not sure what to call it) on the top & bottom of the racks slides in. When the "button" reaches the end of the rail, it is fully in front of the cabinet and can pivot.
I could be completely wrong, but that is what it looks like to me.
What do you all think? And do you have any tips/ideas for building it?
