Couldn't have done it without the help of Festool and the stuff Ive learned about using them on this site, Eric

Ha ha, those pulls have "New Orleans" written all over them 
Nice job!
So since you mentioned the Festool arsenal, what did you do with the Festools and what was left to other less-green devices? (or more brilliant-alien green if you have a Hitachi in there
)

I used TS 75, many rails, parallel guides, mfts, 1400, many accessories, Domino, Lr 32, ets 125, ct22s, c12 and probably some more.
I also used a homemade router table with Incra LS positioner, Triton 3 1/4 HP and Incra top and plate. I used assorted bits, but mostly the Sommerfeld Cabinetmaking set, Drawer Lock bit and many of there cabinetmaking supplies. I used a Dewalt miter saw with homemade extension wings with Kreg scales. I also used a Dewalt table saw in a Rousseau table saw stand. The mill does all my jointing and planing, but my next big ticket items will be those, Eric

Really nice work. I'm from N.O. so the Fleur De Lis caught my eye immediately. This city is so Saints crazy still that you could sell a rotten tomato if it had a Fleur De Lis on it. About the lighting, LED or Halogen? If possible, discuss how you finished it, spray or hand, oil or water base, ect.
Thanks
Thanks
Very nice. That would sell well also in "La Belle Province" (Quebec) with the Fleur De Lis hardware. Did you happen to use the LR32 in conjunction with the Parallel Guides? And if so, how well did you find that combination for you?
I'm just building my first project with my Festool arsenal I've bought since last fall, and for all of the LR32 use I opted to use the rail attached to the Parallel Guides rather than the other gizmo they are supposed to be used with. Just seemed it would be faster, and was more conducive to the pieces I had to bore holes into, which were all for having multi positions I could fasten drawer glides to for a quasi Festool cart and workcenter for the shop. Then again, I suspect your LR32 would have been solely for the shelf pin holes.

I started a painting company when I was 23. 32 now. We basically never spray anything. The entire unit was done on site with 2 1/2 inch cut brush and 6 inch mini roller with Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo. Its a waterborne acrylic with superior leveling characteristics. You have to be a very good painter to get these results. The key is to loading the right amount of paint each time and getting extremely close on each square you roll, hence very minimal amount of brush strokes seen and they basically blend in. Easier to do with lots of experience then explain. The MDF panels were oil base primed prior to installation.
Kreg, I ganged these together in place with countersink, screws, Dap Crackshot filler 2 coats, Eric
