Walnut mini-bar

[Aaron Underdahl]

I just finished up this walnut mini bar/buffet cabinet.  Made using only Festool, Kreg pocket screws and my Jet table saw.  This is my favorite piece I've built to date.  I hope I will be doing more projects like this in the future.

Thanks.  On this project I used a valspar 20 sheen lacquer!  This is my goto finish for most of my projects.

Fist off, here is a better picture of the cabinet,  I didn't realize how saturated the the first picture was.  This one still isn't a great picture

Second,  here are some pictures you guys requested of my first born child. 

1963 Lincoln Continental

In the background you can see her brother. 1969 fj40

Very nice.  I appreciate how you maintained the wood grain across the drawer fronts.

What lights did you use in the cabinet?

 

[jeep jake]

that fj looks pretty slick. you have any plans with it? one tons, lift, small block, etc...

That 1963 Lincoln looks Cherry - just like I remember them on the show room floor after they wiped my drool off [big grin]

Jake.

No immediate plans.  Its all original except for the top and a 3" lift.  Everything works very well still.  As soon as I start to have any engine problems I will swap it for either a diesel engine or a LS1 power plant.  But the way this thing runs, I don't ever seeing that happen. :

Aaron:
Looks great. Better midtones in that photo.
Just curious why you designed the through rails on the face frame? It looks good, just wondering if it was a design decision or it made it easier to install etc.?

Thanks,

The lighting was a last minute add on.  So I just ran down to the Home Depot and purchased a set of Hampton bay.  It wasn't my first choice but I didn't have time to run into town to get anything better.

Great job. I use those same lights on all my built ins along with the dimmer switch they sell

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Kreg

Yeah the thing I didn't like about the lights are that I had them plugged into a switched outlet. Every time you turn off/on the switch you have to turn on the  supplied dimmer from the lights. 

It a good set if you don't use on a switched circuit.
