Wrong spot.. right spot, I don't care that is one heck of a cabinet for that reel collection ;D I want to come and play with Sals reel collection. The fish fit perfectly with that cabinet,your daughter deserves some **** for her hand in the build too.

Okay, I assume in the past 3 years since this was originally posted that your wife has new kitchen cabinets too?

Really well done, Sal --

What did you assemble the face frame with -- dowels, Biscuits, or pocket screws?

And did you use a router table for the edges -- or a shaper?

Small thing -- but nice the way you lined up the cupboard door knobs with the drawer knob.

Lot of talent!

Best,

Pocket screws Fred and a hand held router with a nice bit.

Thanks guys!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hey Sal, from one wood wittler to another, that is a thing of beauty. It's amazing what can be done with recycled lumber. I'm sure the tree that gave you the lumber is a very proud parent of your baby!!! ;D

You know that sound they use in the movies when something really miraculous happens, it sounds like the angels are singing with violins backing them up, like the heavens opens up. That's the sound that comes out when I see those pics. Impressive work sir!!!, now go fix your wife's cabinet.

Last week I came across some old, rough-sawed lumber and I decided to recycle it. I couldn't think of a better way to use it, so I made this custom rod & reel cabinet. I always told my daughter that I would find the "perfect" place to display the fish she made me when she was little...well, here it is! Problem is, my wife took one look at the cabinet and complained, "I don't have one working drawer in my kitchen and you're wasting your time on this?" Oh well, you can't please them all, right?  Enjoy!

Wow 👌👌. You're the new standard to judge our lack of accomplishment...... if I was to try this stunt I'd be sleeping 💤 outside.   I hardly have time to paint the bathroom 🚽.  Maybe I fish 🐠 too much?   Thanks 🙏 for the renewed hope!!!!  Very nice job, buddy,  it shows you organized.  Thanks for sharing.
