Well, that's not looking too bad, probably likely. Solid pine cabinet with reclaimed '60s Hammond organ music stand.

Beautiful as always!

I like the handle on the one side look. The room must have smelled great when you where cutting the pine.
I love that smell.

Cheers

Yes, the pine smelled great! But the vinyl smelled like chemical death. :(

And you've done it again. By that I mean, you've outdone yourself. Do it again?

The heaters are that relaxed mode, so no issues there? Have you moved away from the tight twist variant for all your builds?
