Beautiful job on that cabinet, Phil.
Tell us more about the changes, screwups, and fixes if you can.
I know I always have my share of those on projects.

As far as what you put in them... I dunno,
I'd be more concerned with where I would put the cabinet rather than what's
in it.
We've been making and accumulating stuff for way too long and there is no
room left.
