Mike it always amazes me how much detail the manufacturers put into these cabinets. Even the cheap sets. I'm sure they had some sort of assembly line set up, but I just can't imagine how they managed to do it at an affordable price. You just don't see this kind of quality in today's items. For me, the best part is the beauty of the cabinet when it's finally finished. Each one is a work of art and I can't wait to start on the next one. I wish you'd post some photos of your work. Everyone does things a little differently and it's fun to watch the process.
