The Dead Cabinet

That’s pretty cool! Is there access to all the other room in the bottom?

right on dan, just being grateful for the dead. The bottom area besides the cubbies is not accessable, which was not te worst concern for me considering about 4 feet of space above. but the poplar is screwed on then holes are cut out for the cubbies and drawers.

I’m no fan of the Grateful Dead but this is a very unique and interesting piece of furniture. Well done.

Great job Steve. I figured it would have taken a lot longer to complete the project. It would have taken me forever. Thanks for the post and welcome to LumberJocks.

Nice! I used to have a Steal Your Face painted on the hood of my car. How many shows have you seen? Maybe I’ll try to make a Phish Cabinet.

Hey now…
Great piece, Steve. This post is bringing out all the old Deadheads, Wharf Rats and all. The fact that you made it nearly 22 years after Jerry crossed over the Rainbow Bridge speaks volumes about the type of fans, and the legacy of the Grateful Dead. And it’s a very imaginative and well designed bit of design. mrtrim nailed it.

What a long strange trip its been. as folks go to hell in a bucket. A tribute to one of America’s finest bands of all time. I love your project. It is creative, well designed, and great fun. Congrats., The dead are a part of all of our history whether folks like it or not. I would love to see more pics of this to admire it from more angles.

“I will get by” great homage to the dead. You nailed it, no pun intended. mike

Steve,

This is a wonderful cabinet. With all the inlays and other details I can well understand why it took you as long as it did.

Very nice.

Only thing I can find wrong with it—you should’ve used some Sugar Magnolia.

What a fine tribute.
