It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better kzread.infoUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

As Bob Ross always said, there's no mistakes, just happy accidents. And he managed to make the mishap work for him. =)

Looking pretty good! I have loved the Star Wars 'look' from the very start. I sat in the theater watching it with friends back in '77 and was blown away by the art even then. I went back by myself to watch that first movie six more times. Not so much for the story, but to soak up the feel, the aesthetics of the world that Lucas and his team of people had created. It was so different from all of the clean, chromium and silver lamé that sci-fi had fed us up till then. The world of Luke and Obi-Wan was a lived in world filled with stuff that was used and repaired (or not) and looked real. I would turn my house into such a place from another galaxy but my wife thinks it already looks like such a place from this one 🙄 .

Sometimes accidents like the orange peel turn into happy mistakes, you did GREAT job subtly weathering it to your advantage.

Brian, thanks so much for this build - with the decision- making along the way, and handling a setback, with frankness about how these things happen. I find it super helpful and an inspiration for tackling my own storage issues, in a way that's not only practical but highly creative. in my case, on a tight budget, repurposing and combining furniture and drawers I've salvaged 'in case they're useful some time'. Thank you!

Every video you make blows me away. I think your channel is the only star wars one that gives me that same magic feeling I get when I watch the movies and it really inspires me. Watching this channel has really inspired me to make a few star trek and star wars" functional art" into my computer chair, desk and surrounding wall where my pc and ps5 are, and stuff that I would love to share with you once it's done. This episode also marks the point where it's the first video I've seen having caught up. Since I wasn't here from the start and I decided to watch every single video from the start and man the content on this channel is like Aladdin's cave. Anyway sorry for the long ass post but just wanted to show my support. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Rambling? Nah; you're sharing! I found it valuable to hear what drove your decisions. I also learned I'm not alone in respect to some of what pulls you in different directions. I thought you were doing very well with weathering, and bringing in colors that don't occur intuitively is entering mastery. Level up! I was inspired by the addition of the non-mineral colors. Finally, you are right, your shop has been becoming a room build. Kind of like a visit to Adam's shop, I'd probably stare at a lot of items before getting to work.

Orange peel... The effect that you got is called aligatoring due to uncured paint underneath. Orange peel is the small lumps in the surface, just like an orange. Allow the surface to dry a little longer between coats. It did turn out fantastic.

I appreciate you sharing the discovery process and the fact that not everything is planned. Also, who cares if you do it your way and not how a cabinet builder will. It looks like it worked quite well. Ironically, I was looking at the cabinet in my maker room and thinking about decorating it… then this video hits my feed. Kismet?

The build is awesome as usual. The details are spot on. I struggle with adding extra things in as well.

Gotta keep that balance. Great build!

I know a very talented guitar luthier in GB that is trying to build guitars in one day for the umpteenth time, but needs a few weeks in the end to finish a build. I think it's a common problem of every creative person to run into time schedule issues. It's the same thing for me. I really dig the look of your cabinet! If you're going to enhance the storage solution in some time, I can suggest you a solution your fellow colleague Alexandre Chappel has created. A grit for the drawer and fitting small part containers in various sizes for this grit. Everything as 3D-printed parts.
