Storage Cabinet

This is my attempt at carpentry.  I needed a storage cabinet with a little "flair".  So I sketched up some plans and headed to Home Depot for the lumber.  They were nice enough to cut the pieces for me.  I have a jigsaw and a circular saw, but I can't do the cuts as straight as they do.

After I assembled the frame, I used wood glue as well as nails to put this thing together.  That's why you see the buckets on top.  I used them to put pressure and hold everything together until the glue set.



Below, you see the doors.  I used layers of particle board and cut them easily with a jigsaw.  I used different curves to create some intrest to the piece.  I painted each piece and them glued them together before attaching them to the cabinet frame.

And here is the finished product.
