    Your a joy to watch building too. There's many skilled woodworkers on RUclips but I can't think of another where you can feel the joy they have so much in their own work. It's great to watch.

    BEAUTIFUL!! Love, love the grain of hickory. It is pretty expensive here in CT. But I want to make my kitchen cabinets out of it. I think I loved both the project and watching your joy at each accomplishment. It is really great to see you build a piece of furniture again.

  • @AndreaArzensek
    @AndreaArzensek Год назад +1

    Beautiful build!
    I like how the lift makes cabinet more practical as you don't have too deep cabinet meaning the bottles in the back would be harder to reach. Great solution!
    That continuous grain in front is on 🔥🔥🔥

  • @KWicksable
    @KWicksable Год назад +2

    Your joy displayed with your successes had me smiling throughout the entire video. Those doors are fabulous and your completed cabinet is marvelous. Great, great, great.🤗🤗🤗

    Great build! Love the clean look of it.
    If I ever end up building a bar like this I would probably include some kind of a rail for the hidden bottles as I would probably nock bottles over with out one. I would also use hidden hinges in part because I hate the look of hinges. Then I would probably have it so that the switch to raise the shelf is based on the arrangement of items on the top surface using either some reed switches or RFID tags because I like the idea of a secret combo to get to the bottles.

    Beautiful job…Love this!! That marine spar varnish is the best. I built an 8’x6’ cedar tiki bar complete with thatch roof for the backyard and did 4 coats of the spar varnish. 8 years of being outside and it still looks like new. Wish I could share a picture…you’d love it.
    This could be my next project. Thanks for sharing!!!

    Hello April ..... Looks warm and elegant. The only input I would have suggested would have been to use a hydraulic hinge for the drop door so that it can't slip through your fingers and slam down while raising or lowering it. So nice to see a piece of furniture made of nice solid wood. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
