Chapter 05 · Behind the wood

Modern function, concealed

The historic appearance remains intact while modern drawers, refrigeration and waste handling work behind fully finished custom cabinetry.

Real interior mechanisms

What the finished photographs reveal

These three original photographs show different functions. Each mechanism has its own clearance, guide, face and service requirements; none should be assigned guessed dimensions from the photographs.

01 · Full-extension pullout drawers

The finished wood fronts conceal bright, easy-clean storage baskets or trays mounted on full-extension metal slides. The original ArtFactory product text specifically calls out drawers with bearing rollers and modern built-in storage.

Build note: confirm body width, usable drawer depth, travel, load class, appliance or tray model, handle clearances and hinge interference.

02 · Double waste station

Two large removable white containers sit together in a metal extension carrier behind a wooden cabinet front. The front finish is consistent with the surrounding bar cabinetry, hiding this daily-use station when closed.

Build note: establish bin model, total opening width, clear floor depth, minimum door/face offset, bracket clearance and slides before dimensioning this unit.

03 · Solid wood full-depth drawer

The exposed drawer shows natural timber sides and bottom with the finished decorative cabinet face. The long metal slide is visible beneath the storage box. It is practical cabinetry carried out in the same solid-wood vocabulary as the bar face.

Build note: confirm drawer material thickness, joinery, load, slide type and finished face reveal from actual shop measurements.

What photographs do not establish

Power loads, plumbing rough-ins, drainage, airflow, code requirements, exact appliance dimensions, support members and door-swing clearances. Those items need current equipment submittals and site-specific verification before fabrication.
