    Default How hard can it be?

    This is a 100kg Jarrah cabinet for a client. The picture shows some very serious gears for his audio system. To minimise vibrations the unit needs to be heavy and solid.

    The design is as simple as a cabinet can be. But it was quite a challenge for 1 person in a small shop. It took us 4 people to deliver it safely.

    Jarrah was supplied by my good friend Greg Ward. Finish is 6 coats of Poly/Linseed Oil/Tung Oil mix. Polish is uBeaut wax.

    Should have called, glad to help out.

    Great job on the cabinet. Now what happens when the new owner wants to move?

    Nice Wongo.

    That is one heavy cabinet. I can feel the pain from here. It certainly wont move.

    Did you put anything on the base, like a strip of felt, or leave it solid timber?

    Thanks Rob. I glue a strip of leather to the bottom of the feet. I do the same to all of my pieces. No scratches to the timber floor so clients are always impressed.

    Simple yet elegant

    Even pen making has a greater level of difficulty

    With that much amplification all I'm thinking is I'm glad he's not my neighbour.

    Scott, just "boy's toys". Some have sheds full of cars/bikes/tools.

    This bloke likes his noise/music/sound to be crystal clear.


    Good on him for getting a artisan to provide a cabinet for his toys.
