thanks,i feel it could have turned out better but with my limited selection of tools i am quite happy. I have plans to do some work on the small garage next to my house so i can add some more tools to the collection.I quite enjoy wood working.

Worked for 3 hours this morning getting the stain as close as possible. Here is the end result. In 4 or so hours i can put on the first coat of urethane . Lot more satisfaction than just plunkin down the ol creditcard.Oh and this is cell phone camera, will take a couple with my good cam when done. The biggest mistake i made was not inspecting the wood before putting it on. The piece i used for the front had serious tool marks in it,but dark stain tends to hide the defects plus the grill will cover it.

I have plans to do some work on the small garage next to my house so i can add some more tools to the collection. I was gonna ask about the 5-car garage you are already working in after I saw the first pic. Then I read that. Next you're gonna tell me it's heated and has plumbing. That must be why there isn't a "hate" icon. Your super-custom VP160 looks great! I couldn't afford to build that (empty) cabinet for a client for less than $900. Plus, if I did make one for someone, they'd have to deal with me, so there's two big downsides. You go!

Thats the shop where i work,my boss generously lets me use it on weekends.Downside is i like to get away from that atmosphere on weekends. And yeah its not cheap building a cabinet like this,but i need to keep occupied so its worth it. Are you a cabinet maker by trade bob?

Not until I was almost 50 and got downsized from my artsy-fartsy "career" (colleges/museums). I started doing specialty finishes on walls and woodwork. I worked on so many new wood pieces (built-ins, bath cabs, etc.) that were overpriced and designed and built like crap, that I just had to start offering it to my clients. I'd done it only for myself for 20 years. Ha, it was fun then. The instant anyone offers me $$ for something I enjoy doing, the fun gets sucked out in that same instant. S'why I couldn't make it as a callboy.
You really did a great job on it and I would hurt someone in exchange for that much open floor! Ehh, I'd just buy tons more stuff and still end up with a 10 x 20' workspace.
What happens in there when it's not the weekend?
