Custom Cabinets or Whatever You Want.

This monster is 6' 4" tall and almost 8' from end to end. The center of the cabinet is 16" deep and has 2 fixed shelves and 3 adjustable shelves. The two sides start at 16" deep and taper back to 12" and each have 2 fixed shelves and 4 adjustable shelves. I made this from 3/4" Red Oak Plywood and trimmed it with wood from the ol' woodpile. It's fastened with wood screws covered with wood plugs,  #8 finishing nails, and wood glue. It's custom designed and built to customer specs and looks great!

Add Another Dimension.

It's designed with a top that fits flush with the top of the molding and makes this an awesome 8' tall! There is a 15' vault in the ceiling of this house and it looks smaller than it is. It's attached to the wall and trim is added to make it look like it belongs to the house. The cost of this was about $1400. Every project is different and cost may vary.

I only build one at a time.

I'm very proud of what I do and do not rush. You might have to wait. Nice work takes time. Custom designs may take longer. I made the top for this twice. It just didn't look right the first time.  Function, proportion, and style played a huge role in the design. I was supposed to paint it white when it was complete... I refused. I gave the customer a brush and said, "You'll have to do it first!"  As you can see, it is not white.

Now I'm just showing off!

I built this with hand tools. I used my skill saw and a straight edge for all the long cuts, miter saw for the miters, and router for everything else. No table saws or big equipment. I build it all in my little two car garage.  When I do these projects, I get a regular flow of neighbor's stopping to see what I'm up to.
