muel Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A few weeks ago I posted pictures taken as my VRDs were being built. Tom (tk49 here on the forum) built the cabinets and Craig (NOSValves) did everything else. I really liked our custom design of the cabinet... solid cherry with walnut splines at the corners. It looked stunning to me and I decided to have Tom build a cabinet for my Technics 1200. Check out my next posts if you would like to see the great results I got from Tom. Tom got some beautiful cherry! These pictures don't capture the near luminescence of this wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Brass spike footers added. It was better for Tom to install these before finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Bottom. Tom added a thin layer of cherry to give enough depth to install footers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Installed. This top view you can see that it is a perfect fit. This took a lot of discussion and remeasuring to be sure we got this right. Tom didn't have a 1200 to measure so he was relying on me to get this right. You can just fit an index card between the TT and the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I would like to add how great Tom is to work with! We must have exchanged 90 plus emails and a couple of phone calls while discussing this and the VRD cabinets. He was kind enough to take some pictures of wood samples, the build process, and discuss things at length so I could get even more than I hoped for in the end.
