First cab complete! Two piece wood grain.
« on: February 01, 2004, 11:46:06 pm »
I just finished up (pretty much) my first cabinet and thought I'd throw up a couple pics. Its a two piece cab with a natural stain finish based loosely on the ultimate arcade I and Scotts Unicade designs. Much more detail is on my webpage here:

Nice!  Very "living room friendly".  ;)  Going with a a real wood cabinet requires woodworkings skills that I don't have (paint hides a multitude of sins!).

Looks really nice, I like the two-piece design, and the rounded-over edges look 'comfortable' somehow.

Nice work!

The true measure of a good carpenter isn't whether or not he makes mistakes, its how well he hides his mistakes.
