--- Quote from: RTSDaddy2 on March 20, 2005, 07:15:10 am ---I'll start with the back end of my thoughts first...while a newbie, I am grateful to all here that have helped us.  Though this is our first cabinet, I hope to be able to give back to this community as time goes on. 

Now the beginning. About a year and a half ago, I saw these beautiful home made cabs start turning up online.  I thought three things:

1) man, that's a beautiful cabinet!
2) I always wanted one, never thought of building it though, &
3) how do you do it?

I'm not a handyman / woodworker. Looked at some of the plans and - esp with wiring - thought "that's way out of my league."   Then Saint wrote the book around this hobby, and once we read it, my wife and I agreed this was something we could do together (yes, I AM a lucky man - her idea as much as it is mine).  She has helped me conceptualize it from pieces all the way to marquee and side art.

Yesterday when I was in Dad's shop applying the second coat of paint to a side, and puttying over some holes I'd missed, I realized again what a true labor of love these cabinets are.  Done properly, they are (to me) free-standing pieces of art...and are as beautiful outside as anywhere else.

A post that was a bit longer than I meant it to be, but I guess I wanted folk to know that I didn't sign on just to be here and gone!
