Peter Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 HiI'm sure you know that mahogany is the main timber to choose (rosewood is also OK)Obviously Peter Nichols cabinets are the most famous in the UK.There are 2 Ebay sellers that hand build these.Smokerings (he has a nice one on Ebay now..read his feedback )I bought mine from a seller Forestgreen....nice Avoid Oak MDF and the like.Smokerings one is £285 delivered and if I wanted another I think I would go with this.Good luck. 1 Quote

Peter Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Yep DeclanA true craftsman.My cabinet is for my farthings.My grandfather was a cabinet maker.A trade that was tempting.I ended up with an O level in metalwork.I can still put my hand to DIY.I've done a house and 2 bungalows in the last 5 years and enjoy the hands on approach.I'm a QS by trade but happily get down to laying laminate floor and wall tiling,boxing in pipes I've done this to shut Mrs Peters gripe that I didn't do DIY.Quite frankly when working flat out I prefer good craftsmen....it is all horses for courses.
