Miniature Hoosier Cabinet - 30K Subscriber Special with FREE Pattern!

[@dolfinmagikpro]

For those who want to know, I excerpted this from a pdf file I have for a full scale version of one of these cabinets ... "Eighty years ago, before built-in cabinets were common, every modern homemaker wanted a “Hoosier” cabinet in her kitchen. As a baking center, it was the last word in efficient design and convenience, packed with labor-and time-saving features. Millions of Hoosiers, almost all manufactured by companies in Indiana, were sold before styles changed and built-in kitchen cabinets became the rage in the 1940s." Have a better day!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thanks for adding in a bit of the history behind this piece!! ;)

[@dolfinmagikpro]

@@BentleyHouseMinis My pleasure! Always glad to help!

[@carmenlitabagley5844]

Thanks Sean. When Ara started putting stuff in the cabinet I was confused thinking I have to Google Hoosier. When she said flour I was thinking why does a cabinet need a 'flower' bin! Thanks for the history.

[@rachaelkasper5445]

This is so beautiful! It reminds me of the kitchen pantry in an old farmhouse owned by an elderly neighbor who I knew as a child. The Hoosier Cabinet was built-in with a matching counter, double cabinets on top, a large cabinet on the lower left, and a tip-out bin for potatoes. The lady of the house did most of her baking preparation in the pantry, with her spices, other baking ingredients, and canned goods (in both cans and Mason jars) on shelves behind her, within easy reach. The pantry was wide enough to easily turn around to reach everything in front and behind, with only a few steps to take at the most. The adjacent kitchen contained both an ice box and vintage cast-iron stove (that burned wood) and a modern stove and refrigerator (they used all of them). I actually grew up with this as the norm among our rural neighbors, so I feel like I grew up in a much earlier era, and I rather like that. Thank you for such a beautiful project that evokes happy memories for me.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That sounds like an absolutely lovely place to visit and a lovely memory to have Rachael!! Thank you so much for sharing it with me💖 And I am so glad you love the design too!

[@shelvawhipkey4724]

I'm 83 and I have used a cabinet similar to the one you made. I really enjoyed your Chanel. Thanks

[@Thicketworks]

So much to love here, Ara! Thank you for the wonderful pattern and the detailed construction walk-through... My favorite take away? Well, the hot glue stick jars are fantastic...but then, so are the fabric + cardstock hinges - they turned out so beautifully. I just know this kit is going to be a huge success, girl - because the design is beautifully realized and your attention to detail is second to none. Yep. 💗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much Heather! I really do love creating these and sharing them with others is an even greater joy! I hope to get the kit together soon... fingers crossed lol! That quality control can be a pain 😄 Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

[@happyjenny68]

I’d love to see you make a retro kitchen/dining table set ...I’ve been wanting to make a set myself for a project and would really appreciate your expertise....love your work Ara!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great idea Jenny! I have never made an entire kitchen and chair set. It would def be a challenge!

[@rainsongt189]

Hoosier cabinets are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture one can own. Ours has served as a baking center, a breakfast bar and my husband's office. I've never seen one with the round jab holder nor a rolling pin. Some had jars but they were on a wire rack either in the upper cabinet doors or on the back where you have the round rack. Don't worry about the roundness of the jars. Many Hoosier cabinet jars were square and had linear "ribs" from top to bottom. They weren't always clear glass either. Some were a creamy white while others were a kind of frosty mint green. When we purchased our cabinet, a label on the back called it "Peal Oak." Yep, it was oak but with a white enamel paint on top that had yellowed with age and probably a coal furnace. My husband refinished it to the original oak except for the tambour (roll top) that covers the work surface. The tambour has disappeared in all our moves but that's okay. Oh, the slide out work surface on mine is white enamel with red trim. I'm so glad you added the brackets on the side of the cabinet that hold the top and bottom together. They aren't the most attractive part of the piece, but they are necessary for stability. What a wonderful project, Ara. Thanks for sharing your hard work.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much for the information and seeing everybodys experience makes me want to look out for a real life one for myself! It was interesting to see how many different versions of the Hoosier cabinet there are out there!

[@khazbar]

Hi Ara 😃. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been collecting pictures of kitchens circa 1910 - 1920 for over 2 years now but my "sticking" point in not even starting this project has always been, "How on earth do I make a Hoosier Cabinet, having never seen one before?". I live in Australia & we don't (or even did not, back in the day) have Hoosiers in our kitchens. So this project has been jostling round my brain for the past couple of years but now, no excuses, I can begin!😀😃😀. Just need to source a freestanding sink with the wrought iron legs! Thank you so much for sharing your perfect creations for this vintage kitchen!🤩😍🤗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad to hear that the project is so helpful for you!! I may have to look into some sort of sink for my next subscriber special! I think it would work well with the already finished pieces ;) I hope you will share your creations with me too!

[@khazbar]

@@BentleyHouseMinis ooohhh! Yes please, Ara, a sink would be great and, if I'm not be too presumptuous, even a table and chairs as all the kitchen pictures from that era had a kitchen table with chairs - it was back then, and sadly only in some cases today, the hub of the home😄! Thank you🤗

[@amyblanshan2303]

Thank you, Ara for sharing your design with us. You are very talented. I have been looking forward to starting this project. I inherited a Hoosier Cabinet that looks just like this, from my grandmother's farmhouse, and it now sits in our kitchen. I look forward to painting it like hers. Thank you so much! ~ Amy

[@Bella-mv4og]

[@miniwhinny74]

The details on this Hoosier cabinet are exquisite! My Mom had a Hoosier (purchased new by her Grandma) and I'm currently restoring a 1926 McDougall cabinet, so I greatly appreciate the beautiful detail you have given this piece, right down to the sliding "porcelain" top, the flour bin, the jar holder, and even the "brackets" since these cabinets come in a lower cabinet and a top cabinet. A lot of these cabinets had a stencil in the middle of the doors (usually floral or art deco style) and I've wondered if using decals you'd put on your nails would mimic these stencils. Just a thought! I just want to say how incredibly impressed I am with how true to life your Hoosier cabinet is. (P.S. I used to live in New Castle, Indiana, where the Hoosier cabinet was manufactured, so it holds a special place in my hear.

[@dawsie]

Wow well done Ara I can not believe it’s been three years since I found your KZbin 😹😹😹 I had a look back to the first video I started watching which only turned out to be 5 videos after you first posted your first video onto KZbin 😊😊😊 you have come a long way from those early days you have grown with confidence in leaps and bounds from those early days I am so pleased to have been around to watch you grow your KZbin following Thank you for the gift of the cabinet 😸 this is something that I have wanted to build for the house let along for a doll house😹😹😹 maybe I might manage both 😹😹😹😹 Congratulations of hitting the 30.3k of followers may the next 3 years are as rewarding as the last 3 years have been🤗🤗🤗

[@TC-rv6sz]

Hi Ara, I'm a big fan from Malaysia so I had no idea what a Hoosier Cabinet was. Searched KZbin for videos on it and wow! What an interesting history! It's amazing how pivotal the cabinet was to the evolution of the integrated kitchen system we all know and love worldwide today. I even found that amazing "Step Saving Kitchen" video from the US National Archives channel that perhaps you've already seen - love the brilliant solutions it proposes to optimize the kitchen experience. Thank you for both an amazingly concise yet detailed tutorial as well as for introducing me to such a fascinating gem of furniture history.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

It is an interesting history isn't it? I always learn more than I imagine I will when I start a mini project based off a historical story or object!

[@marianhoblyn1901]

I would really appreciate the kitchen sink to go with all the other pieces, and of course the kitchen table and chairs please. I am hoping to recreate the entire kitchen. Love your channel so much.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

[@barbaraness4507]

My grandmother had a nice Hoosier cabinet. Recently my mother-in-law told me that she knew that type of cabinet as a “craft cabinet “.

[@cecoya]

This looks like fun as well. However I would have put some black streaking on the work surface for my own and a white or clear bowl under the flour bin funnel. The funny thing is I actually have a real in my home. lol Have a great day

[@georgecunningham9175]

Now THAT brings back a few memories! The one I am remembering was right next to a loooong, shallow sink with grooved drain boards, turned legs in the front with a covered pail underneath for waste food (going out to the pigs) and a "step" can for regular trash.....................

I am so glad things are going well with your channel. After the changes with YT right after you had decided to go full time. I know you and others were worried about how it would affect things. I am hoping that those things have settled down. Congratulation on 30K Subs. I love this cabinet I have seen ones like this in vintage stores. I am not sure if I have seen some in enamel white and black. I was thinking of one of the things in the older kitchen was crome and vinyl table and chair set. Some times the vinyl was red, yellow, and a combination of pink with gray triangles print of some type. Just a thought. I hope you are having a good weekend. God Bless.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thankfully things seem to be ok for me on YT right now. It's not for everyone and one of my fav channels shut down and left. I am feeling very fortunate but still being cautious! Great suggestion for the table... I will have to look up some images and do some research! ;) Thank you Debbie!!

My grandmother had a cabinet that she used for pastries. It did not have the top part. It has a bottom cabinet with a white porcelain counter top. It has a raised edge that was worn and has grey streaks and markings where the porcelain has been worn off. She cooked for 12 children and 3 farm hands, my grandfather and herself. She won several blue ribbons at the county fair for her cooking. The children got a whole fruit pie to take to school for lunch. The cabinet held 50 pound bags of flour and she used about 100 lbs of flour to make biscuits;, yeast rolls, bread, pies and cakes every week. My Mom told me that grandma was baby sitting me one day while she was at work. On this day grandma was doing the wash in a ringer washing tub when it went berserk. It started shaking and moving around the kitchen floor and my grand mother grabbed me and ran into the other room and slammed the door. When my Mom arrived to the house she heard grand ma screaming and when mom entered the kitchen the washer was moving across the floor and then reached the end of the plug and stopped because it unplugged itself. The room was covered in soap suds and my mom called my Great Aunts to come over and help with the cleanup..

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

So many amazing memories here Richard! And thank you for sharing them with me! Someone else also mentioned the wash tub and I totally would have never thought about it being a kitchen item because modern houses have the laundry machines in other rooms. But now all I can think is that I want an entire home baked fruit pie for lunch! Yum!

[@medievallassie]

Absolutely gorgeous and so many great ideas on making unusual items! LOVE the rolled paper idea for the sifter and the handle!!!! I confess that I have seen the glue sticks used as glasses and jars before and I think I recall that she held them over a candle so she could shape them. She was using the fatter glue sticks and it was for a 1:6 scale so there was a little more margin for error though, lol. BRILLIANT to use the holes from the jar holder as the lids! As much as I love the hall tree, the hoosier Cabinet will be my first kit buy...hurry up and let us know when they are in the shop! :-)

,I have a friend who has a Hoosier complete with the original flour hopper and other accessories. Unfortunately, he painted it white with black trim. >_< There is also a small country restaurant in a former 100+ year old store near me that has all 100% steel-topped tables. None match, of course, which adds to the charm. The original sales counter is utilized as a coffee bar with tall stools. They also have a Hoosier that they use every day for a pantry to store napkins, glasses, silverware, etc. Antiques add so much grace.

Hi Ara, I am OBSESSED with your adorable vintage miniatures and they've been great additions to my own spooky dollhouse! You asked for ideas on the next Subscriber Milestone miniature, and I would love to see you make a vintage pie safe and/or a freestanding farmhouse sink (not a dry sink really, but I'm not sure how to describe exactly what I mean!) I'm designing a sink myself and keep thinking, "Oh, I wish I had a tutorial from Bentley House for this!" This may be my first ever comment on a KZbin video and I'm not sure if you will see it since I think you're taking some well-deserved time away, but I thought I'd drop the ideas anyway. Happy Holidays!

Thank you for another wonderful project and the files to make it. You have really inspired me to learn how to design (I'm learning Inkscape) and to make the leap to getting my own laser cutter. This old dog is going to learn new tricks!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That's great Marilyn! It's so fun to see a design come together in 3D 😉

[@ChangeIsContagious]

This is such an amazing piece!! Thanks so much for sharing the plans with us!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so happy to! Thank you so much!

[@nancyyoscreative]

I love this. will try to make one. thank you for all you share with us and congratulations on reaching 30,000!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy putting it together!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Congratulations Ara and thank you! Math is not my strong suit but I will attempt to up size this to one sixth scale as your stuff like the stove really fits my story ideas. This is so nice of ypu 😁 (I have no clue what a Hoosier is but I know I will like it Lol!)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Awesome! I would love to see what you create! Remember to double the thickness of your material as well and it should go smoothing for you. Since the matboard is 1/16" thick for this pattern your material will need to be 1/8" thick to work in 1/6 scale ;)

[@firetruck1955]

A Hoosier is wonderful. Its my favorite kitchen unit ever.

[@dolfinmagikpro]

A "Hoosier" Cabinet gets its name from being made (Primarily) in Indiana ... The Hoosier State.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

@@dolfinmagikpro thank you...I still don't know what Hoosier means though...It's probably because I come from Britain.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

@@BentleyHouseMinis Thanks for the reply Ara. I just realised that you were saying that the glue sticks needed rounding...oh I get you...the edges! Luckily I happen to have a 1/6Th jam jar mould so that should do I hope.

[@TarnishedRoseMinis]

Tip: Use sanding sealer to seal the matboard before doing anything to keep it from warping from glue and paint. I did this with a 1/4 scale barn made from matboard and not one piece warped even though I am heavy handed with paint.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great Tip Marilyn! Searching for this on Amazon right now to try it out!

[@TarnishedRoseMinis]

@@BentleyHouseMinis Just make sure you "paint" the sanding sealer on both sides of the mat board (or basswood). I'm even using it to seal MDF since I'm allergic to the stuff. There are two types: water based and not water based (maybe solvent based?). Something like SealCoat would probably work even better than the Minwax water based stuff I'm currently using, but at the time, it was all the hardware store I went to had.

[@katrinelarsen7198]

Love this! Your videos always make me want to get creative. But I'm glad patience is only optional, 'cause I ran out a while back 😁

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha! It's definitely optional for me.... when I run out I take a little break. Thank you!

[@patriciastout2679]

I would like to see a vintage kitchen table like the old porcelain ones with the pull out leaves and metal legs.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great suggestion!

[@joannecarroll5504]

Ara, have I told you lately how awesome you are? Just WOW! Thank you. When you asked for suggestions for the next instalment, I instantly thought of the cute little 30s enamel table settings that preceded those 50s Formica ones with the metal trim round the edges (or even one of those!) ... but wait there's more ... Then something caught my eye on Google; funky 1930s mangle-topped washing machines in the same colours as your stove & fridge! OMG so cute, there's round ones like an oil drum and square ones with rounded corners. I can't imagine how you'd make them with your laser doo-hickey though. Thanks again

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh my goodness that is so tempting and would be an extra challenge to create something round! Why am I always drawn to the over complicated ideas haha! I just can't help myself! Thank you so much Joanne!!

[@nancyhaywood6486]

thank you for the video. when the kit is ready i definitely want one

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

They are ready now but I have halted production during the pandemic. When things get back to a little more normal I will start making them again ;)

[@nancyhaywood6486]

@@BentleyHouseMinis how much will they sell for?

[@savoy6100]

Thank you so very much.

[@heathertodd7165]

You have an amazing imagination and talent. I love this Hoosier Cabinet. I look forward to when your kit comes out. I also love the stove you made. Will you be making a kit for this too?

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Heather! Yes I do plan to put out kits for all my designs ;) And I hope to upgrade the oven as well so that the doors work... we shall see lol!

[@sherrycapstraw5096]

Thank you so much...💚💜💙🙏

You're so welcome Sherry!

[@happyinharned2597]

love love love this....gonna try it. never saw a jar holder before. also isnt the flour bin door suppose to open by pulling down to open??? i still love it

[@NickCasey]

You could try using a pencil sharpener to round the corners of the glue-stick and maybe use a lighter to heat up the corners to round the harsh edges.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Interesting idea! I will have to try it out...

[@maryannerick7617]

Please check to see what the ingredients in a glue stick are before applying a direct flame. Perhaps heating a palate knife would work.

[@bjosephine4308]

Cute cabinet

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!

[@vaikesillatalu6811]

New sub! Love your work... I’m fascinated with anything miniature and look forward to a binge session of all your videos when I have chance! Thanks for all your hard work in putting the videos together 🥰

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel Nell!! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos!!

[@michellebrady3621]

Great job, once again. How about a vintage sink cabinet, for you to work on, one that matches that same time period.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

A sink is a great idea and I think it would be really fun to figure out!
