Description ITS FINALLY DONE!!!!!! ......well almost. It's done enough to show it, but not done enough to sell it. This cabinet has been the source of all of my stress and sleep loss for the past 3 months. And it was worth every moment of it. It stands about 6 feet tall 28" wide at its widest part, and 12" deep (the top piece is 14" deep)

I still have no idea what to call it, I need suggestions!

Better pictures to come when it's finished and get some time in the photography studio.

Materials: Luan plywood, baltic birch plywood, wiggle board, quilted makore veneer, cherry veneer, black walnut solid and veneer, custom cut plate glass, electrical components, and assorted hardware.

There's a name in the comments 'Defy Physics'.
It's so surreal, like Dali himself asked you to make a cabinet. Well done on all your work, it's looks beautifully finished.

Toilet-Gnome In reply to 2Funki4Wheelz [2006-08-11 20:27:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much I doubt its good enough to sit in Dali's living room or something. I really do enjoy surrealism and I try to incorporate it into as much of my work as I can.

Thank you when its finished I was going to ask $1500-$2000 for it. I might have been able to get a little more if it weren't for a few minor mistakes I made. And thanks for the fav too!!

Thank you If someone says my designs are too crazy for them, I've accomplished what I set out to do, so thank you again! I'll admit, I did all of my working drawings and scale drawings after it was made...but shhh, don't tell anyone.

Awesome design!!!

As for names... Kinda has this surreal Alice in Wonderland kind of look... The Cheshire? Top is the smile, bottom is the tail. (Heh, it's late... Sorry...)

thanks! lol i'm glad you see that in it, the original designs were inspired by alice and wonderland and tim burton. I really like cheshire as a name for it, but then i looked it up in the dictionary and it also means "a hard yellow English cheese made from cow's milk" lol. thanks for the fav aswell!!

Wait. How the fuck does it stand? You got it to balance perfectly in that small area?

Amazing.

Toilet-Gnome In reply to FNPhil [2006-04-30 04:51:45 +0000 UTC]

lol, it almost balances. the bottom is weight bearing, and there are 2 screws underneath each shelf to anchor it to the wall and that stabalizes it. its pretty sturdy. thanks!!

Toilet-Gnome In reply to FNPhil [2006-04-30 17:15:21 +0000 UTC]

lol my original design included an inner metal frame welded to a thin metal base, so it could stand on its own. i wish i had the time for that. thanks!
