A very nice piece of work there David. You should be proud!
Not counting your labor and just the plain old love you got from doing such a fine job, what did that cost you compared to buying something similar? (Which wouldn't have been as good or as well made.)
I know that I walk into the various stores selling such things, as well as the home decor stores, and I'm always astounded at the selling prices asked for such things; knowing full well that it would be just so much more fun if I could find the time to build it myself.
Great job,

That turned out great. The finish looks excellent. How did you achieve that?Comment

Sweet cabinet.....Comment

Thank you for all the compliments. I ended up making the door twice as the first iteration didn't turn out very well. As Hank's signature line says, "experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted!". I definitely got some experience with the door.
Cost wise, I spent about $230, including the extra wood to remake the door. The glass was the single highest expenditure at $106 for the two tempered glass shelves, and the beveled mirror.
Believe it or not, the finish is Rust Oleum rattle can. A few coats of white primer, followed by a few coats of semi-gloss white. I sprayed the pieces separately where possible to minimize any bounce back (e.g., when spraying into a corner).Comment

Thank you Hank! I have several projects looming on the horizon, but I think my next will be a cabinet to put my miter saw on. I have an extremely small shop, so everything has to be mobile so it can be wheeled out into the carport to use. I'm getting tired of kneeling down on the carport when I need to use my miter saw, so it's time to build a cabinet! This will be more "practical", so it'll be fun as well as useful. It will also give me some more cabinet making experience.Comment
