Good going. I guess i missed your post on the cabinets being bad. Or maybe read it and forgot. Looks like you are going in the right direction, though.
Have you done veneering before? What type of veneer do you plan to use? Raw, paper-backed, pre-glued? Walnut, mahogany, or something else?
I'm currently building some Altec cabinets and chose to go with raw striped mahogany simply because it's cheaper. And harder to work with. But quite beautiful once finished. Here's a picture of my top panels.
This was after the second coat of poly. They now have six coats, but no pics taken yet. They are as smooth as a baby's behind now!
