Wait... I saw a price tag on that door:razz: . J/K... Nicely done Steve, looks very rich, and the design is super, router detail work is just the right amount of flare for my tastes.... Gotta love the Kreg!!

Steve the master craftsman in the house! Great work bud. I will have to show you some pix of some raised panel doors that I made w/ table saw, and I made the tung and groove w/ the router table and a straight cut bit. I am working on a new bathroom cabinet at the moment, and finally getting my doors finished for my stand.

James, the guy in the picture, used to build cabinets and is teaching me how. This is a whole lot of fun.
