Finished cherry side table with veneered doors.

[Jim Becker]

That's really wonderful work, Mike!

[Mike ODonnell]

Thanks for all the kind words. They motivate me to start another project. Thought I'd add a second pic of the doors per the requests. Sorry, my photography does not do the veneer justice.

Beautiful work and excellent choice of veneer!

Can you give some info on the pump? What size did you use? I may have access to one and yours obviously worked quite well!

[Mike ODonnell]

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm adding a couple more pics. Close-up of the veneer doors. Sorry my photography does not do the veneer justice. Other pics are of the vacumn system. The vacumn was an aquarium pump. Its open and I'm pointing to the diaphram block that gets pulled out and rotated 180 degrees to make the pump a vacumn.

Great job Mike.

When I looked at the picture closely it seemed like the legs are all one piece up to the top making them part of the frame for the sides and front (hope that makes sense the way I wrote it)

Is that true or does it just look that way in the picture?

If so was there a particular reason you did it that way.

[Sam Layton]

Great job Mike. I also like your vacuum system.

another WOW, that's a great piece of work there

[JohnT Fitzgerald]

Wow - that is one beautiful piece! I also would like to see some more pics, and also a little more about the construction. You definitely get this month's "MacGyver" award for that vacuum press tip!!

Jimmy - scary, but I see it too.....

Can you clarify how the tube was hooked up to the bag? Did you use a check valve at all?

[Jeffrey Makiel]

Nice. Absolutely nice!

Eric S... Maybe you can zoom in on the pic to see the tube within the bag. The tube was positioned in the bag before I glued the sides of the bag with the vinyl glue. I did not use a check valve.

[William Hutchinson]

Very nice indeed. While the veneered doors are stunning, your craftsmanship of the piece is excellent.

Shower curtain and fish pump--who knew!!

[Jon Grider]

Very handsome!
