Nice work Tim – a challenge to glue up, I bet.

Very nice work. What kind of lights did you use? Thanks for the post.

If I recall (it was 10 years ago), they are small round halogen light fixtures—similar to what you would see under a kitchen cabinet. I am not sure of the brand. I picked them up at Lowe’s or similar store. I would say they are about 3 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. They are just attached on the inside and hidden by the wood frame of the cabinet. They tend to get a bit hot and I would guess they are not as efficient as some of the newer fixtures and light bulbs today—after all we are in a “green” movement right now. :) They put off some nice light that cascades well.

That is a sweet cabinet, I am sure the wife is happy.
Now you just have to remember that for each new project you build for the wife, it requires a new tool.

Really good looking cabinet.

very nice work and the lighting is great for showing off all of the treasures inside .

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Beautiful cabinet, Tim.

Thanks. Still standing. I learned a lot from that project. Just picked up some quartersawn white oak lumber recently. I’ll have to get to work. I have not decided on anything yet.
