Very nice cabinet. I like the grain flow.

That’s real nice and I’m sure she will appreciate it and think of you every time she uses it.

Wow, there is nothing better than building something that is REALLY appreciated. Very nice cabinet too. What a great wedding gift, that’ll be at the top of the “grab in a fire” list for the rest of her life

Well done sir

love the midcentury modern look – and that wood looks almost like mahogany, but that could be the lighting in the pics. anyway, very nice job – the simplicity of the design highlights the nice wood and craftsmanship. also, i understand what you mean about the thin lumber, but i think the end result looks nice, and it’s solid wood so it’s probably quite strong. with 3/4” stock we probably tend to overbuild stuff :-)

Nice design and finish. Great looking project.

Great cabinet and timing! I like the retro look too.
The grain and joinery are quite eye catching.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I really appreciate it. dub560 – The dovetails were cut on my Routerboss. It can hold up to 42” panel to allow me to cut the dovetails. I have posted a review of this machine. DaytonB – You’re so right. Their reaction and appreciation for the cabinet was an amazing gift in itself. Worth all the hours. AaronK – Thank for the great compliments. Different lighting can really change the way this piece looks. I was worried the 3/8” would look too thin but that ended up not being the case. I was pleasantly surprised. And the dividers inside help stiffen it all up anyway.

thanks again..now enjoy the loving that comes with a good gift

Very retro indeed. Fabulous job and a lot of thoughtfulness. The bride sure looks happy.
