I was limited to 5.75" width and I needed 1" for sliders and 1" for the 1/2" thick side boards. That only left 3.75" for bottle width, which was mostly fine. However, I wanted a space for my 4" tequila bottles, so I got creative. Worked perfect since they are shorter bottles.
Nope, that was all from 9th grade shop class with "Coach Dudgeon", who was a coach long before my time. Very thankful I took that class. I always wanted to do some more woodworking, maybe this is it. Makes me miss all of nice equipment we had back then. Not having a table saw or proper floor mounted router has made things more challenging. Back then we even had a big industrial sized planer to run rough boards through, etc. Seems like it would be crazy to let young high school students run lose in a class like that today. Coach Dudgeon always kept us straight by walking around the class with yardstick and swatting at us for doing anything wrong. Plenty of antics were conducted around that equipment.Staryder61 wrote:It all looks great. So, you were a cabinet maker in a past life right?
Oh snap, I didn't realize I was getting compliments from an actual cabinet maker. Way too kind, but thank you for encouragement. Much needed at times. I have definitely been both of those kids at different times of my life.Staryder61 wrote:..... in my cabinet shop.
Yes, that is some very intricate work. Halfdome definitely has more patience than me when it comes to finishing the wood, very nice!Staryder61 wrote:... halfdome,Danny is one of those, want to see some beautiful work, check out his postings here..

This looks like the start to the model battleship that I always wanted to build as a kid.
Starting to take shape with the pocket-hole face frame built.
Temporarily installed in it's new home.
Still have some finishing to do, as well as a shelf and door to make. I decided to take a break and moved the trailer back to storage lot for now. The neighbors have been super nice about me leaving it in the driveway for the last month, but I've really pushed that 48hr/wk township rule...
I'll finish the vanity, doors and some other items with it offsite and then do the final install. Eventually I'll make the upper cabinets for the kitchen, but really just want to go camping in it this summer.
