My house was sided in Redwood when it was built in 1980. You cannot buy it any longer, although I think decorative slabs like yours are still on the market. So you have wood that is more difficult to come by every year. I would not burn it, and if a clock doesn't "chime you bell", you are ...

Sorry, I didn't mean to bore you.

With Mark,(on the left) in tow I transported the cabinet to the club - The Auger Inn. CE mounted the cabinet using a French cleat, and just to be on the safe side, a corbel centered on the bottom.

I finally got back from the people who laser cut wood two plaques to mount on the left-hand door. One plaque was a history of the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO)program at the 119th, the other a poem written by one of the members. I decided to mount them with thru corner bolts in brass. However, I need...

Thank you for sharing your story, John. I serve at the VA one day a week and two Sundays a month. I also take call. There is a bond among veterans that is a great gift.

Very kind comments,all! Thank you. I gave some thought to putting glass in the doors, but I needed a place for the plaques. Also, if you think about it part of the appeal of a cabinet is it's mystery - "What's inside"? - they draw you in to want to open it. This is in keeping with the word...

Very kind comments all. Debated putting glass in the exterior doors, but then where would the plagues go? We didn't want to put them on the wall next to it. The cabinet will get opened on club nights if a WSO wants his shot glass. Just an aside, we got two bottles of the 1975 Hine Cognac. At the ded...

I have a SS shaper with a speed increaser tool. I also have a stand alone Grizzly 1/2" wood shaper. For all of the styles and rails I used the Grizzly. I have a better vacuum pick-up on the Grizzly. One of my complaints about the SS is that it throws a lot of cuttings down and the overhead fixt...

The cabinet was fitted with LED 12 volt light strips. This picture shows the rabbet that was cut in the back of each cubby shelf to recess the strip. IMG_20141215_163225_898 (Mobile).jpg I also ran a strip vertically behind the cognac bottle compartment to back light the bottle. All of the engraved ...

Since the doors are to hold Unit patches and two plaques (all in wood) I once again ran long double dowels into the corners of the styles and rails.
