Nice work! Counter top looks very high end. Side utility door is quite useful and the under cabinet lights made it look like a fridge. I expected to see a keg in there.

Looks great on outside but i bet the inside dosing bottle holder is the bit your unhappy with. Wish i could make things like this though

Top is about as high end as it gets, solid 2" mahogany. . Guys at the lumber yard gave me a break though. Oh geez.. kegs use co2 ??
plants win..
Yah, actually you're exactly correct man, I got a fancy shower caddy to hold all the bottles and such, did not fit like I had hoped, made that in a pinch..

And i reckon its all due to the edges not aligning nicely

That looks good Brookster..that piece of mahogany would have made a nice bass body...

I was thinking one of those things for spice racks or something like that.
Yes, true on the bass. I think that was supposed to be for a bar.

I still have a 2 ft cutoff thumper, slapping Tha beassssss mon!! Mehh I just grabbed some scraps and screwed them together. It serves it's purpose and when the doors shut it's all good... it will most def be re-purposed as a bar when we move :beer::beer::beer::beer:

For the dosing bottle holder. The front edge is raised and it looks a different finish on the wood.
Im obviously not criticising just as a tradesman like yourself theres always bits you critique about your own work

Yup, it's tough doing this stuff at my apt. No space to set up the proper saws so I was doing the cutting on my tailgate in the back lot, being on the 3rd floor makes it a bit more challenging too.. that box was literally constructed in 3 minutes and it shows. It will however hold dosing bottles just fine and when the doors shut it will be our little secret. I'm going to most likely replace it with some fancy steel rack anyways.

Yea the outside looks great and thts all tht matters. Anything internal can be remade or left without issue.
All round good job though!

Affordable aquarium furniture is hard to find. I have been tossing the idea around about building a wood canopy. Alas..us lowly ditch diggers don't have much use for miter saws and nice wood finishing tools so...I don't have any...

How have I not seen this yet?!? Subscribed! I'm amazed at how you built stuff for your fish tanks I would never have thought to do that.
