Looks great thus far!
Very impressive. Good work
The wood is rustic alder from lowes. It's fairly cheap but looks really nice, I think. Nope, no lathe.Quote:

What was your level of wood working experience before you started all these projects?
Almost non existent. I had used a circular saw a handful of times and used other various tools, but never really built anything. I really have just learned everything by looking online, inspecting my furniture/furniture at stores to see how it's constructed, and by just trying things.Quote:

Keep it up. Thanks to your table build, I now know of pocket holes and that helps me with another thing I'm thinking up. Thanks.
A few updates:
I stained the buffet dark walnut. I'm not happy with the stain job that I did. There are a lot of color inconsistencies. I'm going to try to give it a light sanding and possibly re-stain to see if I can get a more consistent color. The whiskey rack is done, and the back panel is cut and put in place, but not attached yet. I need to stain it, stain and install the shelves that go in the cabinets, and then all that's left is the drawers, cabinet doors, and top.

Shelves installed, backing installed and stained. To-do: drawers, doors, and top.
