Hello from a new poster. This was my first attempt at some cabinets, I am hoping to start on my own kitchen cabinets shortly. This was a fun project, and I can't wait to get started on the big project.

Looks great! Do you have an overall picture of either the uppers or lowers or all of it together? Looks to be bathroom cabinetry.

Nice cabinets, what is everything made of? (at least for us that don't know all our woods by looking at them yet.) :p

That's all soft maple.

Thanks, it is all soft maple, and in a bathroom. most of the frame work is curly, and the doors and fronts are all straight grain. This place has a wealth of info. thanks, Jamie

Good thing you mentioned that these were your first CABINETS, cause when I saw "first project" then saw the cabinets I was ready to call BS.. :D

Nice job. Would have looked even better with some stone on top of them rather than the lamiante, but I understand how things go sometimes...

really, there are pretty much my first project. made a few picture frames a few years ago, but never tackled anything major. I do quite a few side projects, and trade work for tools. No money changes hands. when I make the cabinet for our kitchen, I am thinking about concrete counter tops. if I botch that up too bad i"ll turn to granite. too many projects, not enough time!!! Thanks. Jamie

All I can say is "WOW!" Those cabinets look every bit as good as any pro job I've seen. If this is your first project, then you truely have a gift!!

Thanks again, I was thrilled with the outcome. I think I am going to need a spray booth though. The finish on these was brushed, and I had a difficult time getting things smooth.
