Guys,
Check this out...
My wife, Mrs. 90Grad, built this entire thing. She searched eBay for the crates and pulls, and then she built the cabinet unit. The top is made from an old board retrieved from a local saw mill. She spent hours polishing, sanding, painting, etc. It looks AWESOME.

That looks really, really good. Seems like some wives hate the collection of old pop memorabilia, yours added to it lol

Thats an awesome Idea she did very good on it, esp using the bottle openers as pulls. A very unique and one of a kind piece.

That needs to have a place of honor in the house. I don't know if we are all more jealous of the cabinet or that your wife actually contributed to your collection. Where did she come up with the idea?

That is top notch cool. I shared with Linda. Doubt anything similiar is coming my way soon.
Something about me getting upset when my tools are disturbed :-)
True enough. Congrats and enjoy!!

Brian, She saw something similar on-line, but it didn't have the openers as pulls, the reclaimed lumber top, etc. She took the basic idea and ran with it. Yes, indeed, I am a lucky man. |
