Great job. Love those magnetic locks. Very cool.
I apologize for these pictures. .I didn’t realize all of the glare and reflection from the glass.

I tried to get pics of the key features. .but the whole thing is a key feature. …as we all know…pictures don’t really show the details and the true beauty of our pieces. Building this was the only thing helping me keep my mind off of the pain….this will be my last project for 9 months to a year. …I will be going in for major back surgery. .in the next couple of weeks. Then we shall see what other cool things I can build…..hopefully much smaller..lol

Fantastic piece. Very well done. How’s the back now? I wish mine was operable but it’s not. I love hidden compartments.

I will be getting a lower lumbar fusion in two weeks….now that I don’t have a project to work on ..I am in discomfort. ..recovery will give lots of time to come up with an idea for a future project.

Nice work ,here’s wishing you a speedy recovery nate .
You can pic up the magnetic locks at any Lowes or home Depot. ….it’s in the baby safety section jeff. Here are a couple pictures to show you how they work…just place the key where the latch is….you will here it click….take it off and it locks it.

Good design,I noticed it’s all pocket screw joinery ,that must have speeded things along quite a bit

Yes it is a made with pocket screw joinery..zipped right along.
I didn’t have much time…this project took a little over 1 1/2 months to complete.
Just over 120 hours.
