I just finished the panel with the 2 cooling units and mounted them in. now I just need a pretty container to hold the condensation. I want an acrylic thingy.

can't wait to mount it all in.

had a good weekend. the last side is getting the zebra wood veneer, then just some spanish cedar on the other side and I'm done veneering. by next weekend I'll start the drawers and shelves

Just out of curiousity what kind of tools do you need for a job like this? I'd love to build my own like you guys and my limiting factor would be the wood working tools needed. Of course this is just me being ambitious and I will probably just fork the $$ over for an Avallo.

Ambition is great, but it's cheaper to buy the avallo and stock it.:halfgrinw

ok, veneering done, glue-up done, now wiring, finish and I can finally start on the face frame and the doors, just need to get some cherry.

the cooling units are installed in a SC panel, just simply easier to install this way and I can easily take it out if something ever breaks and just install a new panel.

now I need to clean up the wires and start installing the drawer glides and shelves, probably what I'll do today 4 shelves, 2 drawers

I already had everything running, sounds awesome to have 4 fans, 4 cooling units and 4 bottles running









when everything is done, I will run a bead of silicone around the cooling unit and the edges of the panel to make sure it's all tight.

man I can't wait until I'm done



updates will keep coming, until then, here a link to my site
