Grimster,

Very nice work. I've been known to make some sawdust on the weekends too. Woodworking continues to be one of my favorite hobbies. My last project was a cabinet that is similar to what you are building. I based the unit on a bookcase in Woodsmith magazine that I proportioned to fit my HT equipment. Its made of cherry (solid and ply) with a clear finish. I really like the look of cherry that has turned that dark red-brown over the years. I'll try post some pics when I get a host set up.

Keep us posted on your progress.
