Ha...I need to get on the stick and get my basement done...First step, get rid of most of what's down there.

Seriously, that is a great idea for the 'man cave', a great way to store them.....

That's what YELLOW FREIGHT is for!

Which is exactly why I asked for the plans, I wouldn't dream how much would it would cost to ship it to Israel

Gil...I would be glad to give you pics with dimensions but for the most part a lot of it was figured out on the fly.

Grrrrrrr... you pros
Thanks Steve, I'll take a raincheck on your offer, first - we need to build our house, the cabinet won't fit in the current one
(On the other hand - this means you might be able to complete the plans, I know I will be willing to pay for such an amazing thing).

I think Jdog got the man cave thing from me when he stopped by a couple of weeks ago .... I just had a 500 s.f. room addition done so I would have a place to put my growing bass collection and also for a practice space,home theater, etc.
At a price of 55k to build it's a little bit more expensive than the "bass case for ten" (awesome job Steve, btw) but I have enough wall space to hang about 30 basses if I need to. I still have to deal with where to put the cases tho- . Here's a pic that Jdog took when he stopped by, I'll take some more when I get the time.

Gorgeous cabinets, Steve!

Stick bigger wheels on it, attach a hitch and some lights, and just trailer one home!

I just got the bill for materials today....
$900

For both pieces?

Nicely done, Steve!

For 2 beautiful well-made cabinets, that ain't bad at all.

I looked at the images again, this is just great!

Well, that's for materials. Surely your time is worth a fair amount too. How many hours did it take to produce those works of art?

I didn't keep track of my time but I would guess 4-5 days.

So that adds, what, another $45-50 on??
