Tool Gloat and a Completed project!
I confess!!!
I've been secretly using my combined Anniversary-Valentine-Easter-Birth-Father's-Work Bonus-Day present (a Festool Domino floating mortise tool) on a few projects and have some actual photos to show off.
If you follow the David Marks Woodworks show you may remember a hanging toolcabinet he made a few years back.
http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_..._26953,00.html
Here's my version made out of Quartersawn Red Oak (frame and shelves), Lupuna 1/2" ply (back) and Luan Mahogany 1/4" ply (sliding doors). The Red Oak 1/2" and 1/4" Ply at Lowe's looked like big Lasagne noodles  . I finished it with garnet shellac and brown Briwax on the oak and Transfast Light Oak water soluble dye, Amber shellac and brown Briwax on the Luan and Lupuna. It hangs on a French cleat lagged into the studs and screwed to the sides.
   
Here are the parts ready for assembly:
 
Thanks for looking!

Re: Tool Gloat and a Completed project!
That's nice work, Mark. I've been looking at ol' Domino, but, he ain't cheap! Really like the French cleat idea.

Re: Tool Gloat and a Completed project!
Lookin' good there Mark 
Not as pretty as David's Cherry and Koa version but a lot more practical for the shop. Good looking joinery and nice job on your choice of finish.

Re: Tool Gloat and a Completed project!
Very nice work. I agree, the ply at Lowes is like lasagna....... Did you do all the internal compartments he did as well?
Domino? Shame on you. I had one shown to me yesterday. I am a bit surprised at how fast the thing cuts. It is as fast as a biscuit joiner and I would have thought it would have taken longer to cut the mortises.
Congrats on the acquisition. Very nice gloat!

Re: Tool Gloat and a Completed project!
Wow, those are some really nice looking shop cabs. 
While I see evidence that a Domino has been used, I see no actual proof of one in YOUR shop!! 
You know the rules...no pics, never happened!!
