The 10th project done for the same family.
Looks great!
Return customers are the best metric of good work.
We have one built in in our house, and the difference in quality (and cost of course) is crazy between semi custom and full custom.

It probably took 10-12 hours time just to find suitable acanthus leaf corbels, acanthus leaf top perimeter trim, the vertical half round pieces at the top, and the center scroll applique. Then I had to find a suitable TV lift mechanism (those suckers are HEAVY) and figure out how to install it. That's another 4 hours. About 2 hours consultation time to iron out details with client. After it's assembled I apply a coat of primer and let it dry for an hour, finish sand it, apply a second coat of primer, allow to dry for an hour, finish sand, and apply the final pigmented finish coat and allow a couple hours to dry before handling. If I was able to build a duplicate at the same time it would save me 2 full days of labor. That's much of why custom costs what it does.
I believe it.
If it's going to be in your family or in your house for years I think worth it.
At first glance, I thought you had posted a picture of L. Ron Hubbard’s tomb.
Yeah, people being nice to this douche bag goes to show that most of the posters on here are good people.
I don’t believe this is Greed posting. Calm, considerate, discusses his considerable talent in woodworking, and he hasn’t used “snotlicker” a single time. Imposter!!
@extragreen - was it hard making such a beautiful piece when deep in your loins you know you really wished it was a brutalist piece?
Nice cabinet. A shame they cover the beauty of wood with paint though. That same cabinet made of walnut and left natural would be stunning.
I did a kitchen 3-4 years ago out of natural sappy walnut with black trim. Striking.
In the neighborhood of 250 lb not counting the lift mechanism. With mechanism 300 lb.
Complete with final coat of paint.
You should order one to store your children's memories since you stole them to save a couple of dollars.
I was wondering the same thing I thought it would weigh more than that
Well, I guess there are advantages to being so self absorbed that you don’t love anyone but yourself, you never have to worry about hurting anyone else. Good for you!
For the record, a house is just a building. If your memories are reliant on real estate you have trouble connecting to other people.
EG, you have a clean room or a paint booth where you apply your finishes? I tried to spray two doors today in the wind and they are covered with dirt, leaves, sap, bird droppings, sand, maple tree seeds . . .
Should have asked the APCO guys who are going to be tearing up your yard everyday to help you.
Cold. At least my view of the mountains isn’t blocked by some Dildos Are Us adult toy store under construction.
