I know it's a largely male forum, but … I can't help it.

It's gorgeous ;-)

What a great way to turn a mechanical piece into artwork.

Did you have to give any thought to ensuring that the hot air/cold air doesn't warp/harm the wood ? I'd imagine that Reflectix insulation, on the interior, would do a fine job !

Really nice !!

Thanks for the comments

Nbeener, I installer a aluminum sleeve that channels the air directly through the vents. I also put a heat shield on the inside of the top.

This really is excellent!

Looking at it took me "out of the box" in thinking for a similar type project. We have a split AC unit mounted 7' up on a wall in the living room. It is pretty ugly. I have been wanting to enclose it but did not want to end up with a "nice box" mounted 7' up on the wall, which will bring the comment, "what's that?" However a full cabnet will look like it is suppose to be there, just as yours does, and will fuctionally hide a less pleasing visual in the room, again, as yours does perfectly.

Great piece, and thanks for jump starting my brain.
