Plasma tables keep looking better and better to me. Nice welds, too.

Its an incredible time saver, took a lot longer to machine out the centre than draw and cut them.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Two hours in the shop, all I could do was drill, bore, cutoff and finish the spacer on the right, then change gears on my lathe to thread the two axles that Neil made the last time we were in the shop together. It does take time to remove the collet closer and change gears. Threads are M14x1.25 and M12x1.25.

Practise Dave, practise and turn up the heat.
These ones were easy with the metal caulking gun.
Thanks

Finally got the finish, finished. Small set of cabinets but takes as many days as a big set, just not as many hours.

I'd *LOVE* to have cabinets of that quality! What I'd want would be different in one major way though, no glass doors. My wife has such a mess of different dishes, pots, pans and other junk that I would never want it in full view.

Great idea, but I think people would catch on pretty quick as soon as she opened one. ;)

Greg, just curious as to why those have a little bit of extension on the verticals, essentially little "legs." I don't recall seeing that on wall mounted cabinets before.
