roscoedoh Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 This is a woodworking project so I put in this forum. I started this over a year ago, set it down, picked it back up, set it down, moved, got too cold, etc... This cabinet has been a long way in completion. Some of you may remember last year when I was asking about dorm fridges and circulating water through them to cool off an aquarium. Well, I designed this cabinet to be an aquarium stand and house said dorm fridge. I have long since abandoned the refrigerator idea, but the design remains unchanged. Here tis: I went all out this time and used oak veneer plywood and oak lumber for the trim. I also put a formica counter top on it. I post this as a work in progress because I just bought lumber to make the doors. Once those are done and installed, I'll post a completed photo. I'll also admit that I have a long way to go before I can touch any of Tony's work, but I'm kinda enjoying working with wood. I'm trying outfit my house and need new furniture. I can still make it cheaper than I can buy it and I won't be limited to someone else's design. Just thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecanoe Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Looks good. Now you have an excuse....Err......Reason......to buy new tools. The way a lot of the furniture that is shipped in from china is being made, you'll justify buying the tools and taking time to make good furniture. It will last a lot longer. It's surprising how much of the imported stuff is particle board with a laminate that is not always wood over the top. Hat's off to you for tackling this project. Wood is GREAT! Love it.
