$80.00 in material is not alot ,, I'd like the spanish ceadar if it was me.. $300.00 isn't alot for a quality handmade piece like that .. nice brass hardware all datto'd in sweet .... I'd say that piece is fine furniture quality.. sheet of homosote $23.00 .. how much you going to shave off going poplar ? The world is full of poplar ,,particle board crap,, Nobody builds things like that anymore.. I say keep the quality ,,,its unique..Excellent work Slip .. I say that being a carpenter over 30 yrs.,, known a couple of thousand of them ..

Bruce these look beautiful. Somehting to consider would be a small vent for air to circulate through the box itself. All those dif. sealers and clears etc, hook dressings will want to let off or exchange gasses. By building in a vent you create a please for all these dif vapors to air out or escape. Speak with Marty Livewyre on the site. He's pretty deep into collecting and he put me onto the small vents to allow any vapors etc to leave the box. the vents he showed me sell on ebay and they're about a half inch in diameter and a nicely finished I think maybe plated gold or polished brass or something, adds a nice funtional touch. These look awesome though slip!!

Domination takes full concentration..

thanks Victor, there is an air space under the lid/door

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

You could always do what I do for saving coins on the glass, I get them from other contractors that are replacing windows in houses. The old aluminum storm windows are perfect because most are 24" square to begin with and if you need a smaller piece just cut it yourself to the size you need, and storm windows seldom have any scratches on them so they are perfect, 2nd best thing is most contractors will give them to you free.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
