:) Thank you!
The tallness was totally unintentional. I was just following Saint's plans out of the book and before I realized it, "poof!" I had a 9 foot tall cabinet!
The cab sides were my first cuts, and once that was done I saw how tall they were and it was too late. I did measure my cuts, but I was thinking in inches and not converting to feet. So, I just went with it and made a very tall cab.
My wife's boss who happens to be over 7 feet tall loves it.
I've always loved the look of cabs with the multi-characters on them. So, that's what I wanted for myself. I worked very hard on my cab and I'm absolutely proud of it.
My next cab will be a VectorCab, and will be a regular size. Probably similar to a Williams cab.

Your cabinet design is very unique. It appears to be much taller than other cabs. Please tell us how the design came about.

a timely reminder for Liberia, Burma and the United States to go to metric ;)
Santoro:
Shawn I think the construction looks good. The buttons must look cool at night, I can't wait to get mine.
My first cab had the character art too, though I kind of understand why people rag on it from a style perspective. I didn't do it for the style, I did it to evoke the memories.
