   Gary has got a winner. I thought I was looking at a high end kitchen or someone's study. Talk about a place for everything and everything in it's place.

   Wow! What a work to inspire your future projects. I don't think even the Roycrofter workshops were this inspirational.

   Not only has the cherry changed color, but it has tripled in cost since it was purchased. Unbelieveably beautiful. If I did this in my shop, my wife would want a new cherry kitchen!

   Absolutely outstanding labor of love. You hve about 1/4 as many hand-cut DT's as I have done in 38 years in this project. When I first saw this project elsewhere.. my first thought was it was a custom kitchen project. When I saw that it was for a shop I was somewhat shocked.

   The fact you did most with hand-tools makes the build even more impressive. And impressive is just one of many choice adjectives that could describe it as I'm not sure there are enough for this build.

   I saw Gary's post when he finished the project. This is a stunning set of shop cabinets. I just hope I have time to do half as good a job some day.

   I watched the build progress on SMC and couldn't believe the work Gary was putting into shop cabinets. The end result is amazing!

   Truly inspirational. It was exciting watching the progress. The finished product is a great blend of function and beauty and I'm glad you took the time and effort to share this with us.

    Fine hand tools deserve a fine place to house them and Gary has built such a place. The tool cabinets are elegant, functional and beautiful. I wish they were in my shop.

    Gary's work is a true inspiration to me. I've often thought that many of us, including me, work in shops with manufactured or "hand-me-down" cabinets shop furniture while we make things from wood for our homes or other people Wouldn't it be nice if we took time to make appropriate cabinets that displayed our finest craftsmanship for our shops. That's exactly what Gary has done. His work and craftsmanship are exquisite and certainly inspiring. While my skill level is not even close to his, some day I'd love to make some beautiful cabinets for my new workshop as well. Gary, thanks for sharing your work and inspiring me to build a better shop.

    Should be titled "If your going to do something, do it Right!" What an accomplishment. Did I miss something, a build on SMS? Cabinets wrapping around corner make the most of a possibly little-used corner, I am looking at a corner in my shop right now. Gary's work is an inspiration.

    Gary,
    Your work is outstanding and IMHO should have got the prize.
    Attention to detail, ergonomics, lumber and finish....A1.
    Anyone would be proud to have this in their shop.

    I always believe that a well planned out and tasty workshop refects the workmanship that is carried out in there .I think this is a fine example of true workmanship and skill .This has inspired my to finally make the effort time wise and do up my own work shop .Always too busy doing other peolpes projects .Fantastic work

    Good lord. That is spectacular. It would take me the rest of my life to cut that many dove tails.

    Well done.
