Title: First cab complete! Two piece wood grain.
Post by: djbriane 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 coin door looks great!  Did you use my tutorial?

Very nice. I'm very envious of those of you who are able to pull this off.

Yep, I did use your guide and it was very helpfull! Pretty amazing how easy it is to take the paint off with that stripper.

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