Finally, I get to post a actual project, a commissioned one at that :D
A few of you may recall my post from the Design (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=38687) Forum, and offered your critiques and suggestions. Some I incorporated, others, my client decided against. Either way, I greatly appreciated your input.
The casework is Birch Ply from the Orange Borg and Soft Maple for the Face Frame, Rails and Styles. The finish is Golden Pecan and Poly. Construction techniques were basic Jointery Techniques, Biscuits and Pocket Screws.
The Original Space
51019
Installed Builtin
51018
Though the design was rather straight forward, I am really pleased with the results. One of the comments I recieved in my initial post was the size of the project for my one man basement shop, boy was he ever right. Though I would happily do it again.
The most important part though, is that my client is more than happy with the end result and I had fun building it. Since starting to convert my basement into a shop I haven't had much opportunity to actually build something. This was a great distraction from that and added some extra funds to the shop kitty.
Thanks for looking and for your comments.
