The brass feet on most of my cabinets are completely worn out and several are missing all together. For quite some time I have been thinking about making cabinet feet. A couple of months ago, I bought one of those Chinese mini metal lathes. I have made a few sets of feet. This is new to me so I'm learning as I go.

I picked the least worn foot that I could find to copy. I have some that are worn/mashed to half the thickness of this one.
