Great job!! What took you so long to get in the business you do great work. BTW nice shop and great table saw.

I don’t skimp on coverings like finish or paint. There is a reason it costs more, it is high performance in two ways: #1. Durability #2. Application. It sounds like you might have used SW Pro Classic.

You did some nice work on this.

Thanks for all the generous comments. Grumpy, I am not sure if this is a new line of paint or not. The paint I used is Sherwin-Williams “Duration Home” interior latex satin finish and the color is “Nacre” white. They do have one or two higher grades of paint and maybe I will try that next time. Thanks for the tip Todd. Anyways, I won’t be using the paints on special at HD or Lowes for this type of work anymore.

Steve, the money spent for the PW66 table saw is money well spent. It can ahndle anything I can thorw at it. And the Forrest saw blades are as good as everyone says.

My client’s wife sent an email last night and she wants a side-table or buffet to match the kitchen table and he wants a built-in bar, so this one job looks like it could keep me busy for a while.

Great-looking unit. I’m sure your customer was very happy with I bet your customer was a female, you got that white thing going again. Just kidding, great job.

Great job,
I agree that sherwin williams paint in some of the best paint you can buy. You get what you pay for with paint. Cant wait to see the next project.

Excellent job! That piece is VERY similar to what I made for my wife, if you check out my pictures, you can see the one she found and what I made. She found the cabinet at a specialty store and they wanted $5000.00 for it. I made mine cheaper of course and put glass doors etc (minor cosmetic changes)
Anyhow great job.. a lot of work to make. I can appreciate the time you put into it.
I hope you got a good dollar for it.

Thanks for the comments Dave. I checked out your cabinet. You did a great job and saved a bundle of dough! I priced the unit I built rather low at $1400 since it was my first commission. Managed to make about $800 over material costs but not really enough. I should have price it at 2x the price. Anyways, I enjoyed building it and the customer seemed to really like it.
