Hello all!!
I have enjoyed reading through this forum for the last couple weeks and really like all the valuable information. I am a General Contractor from Northern California. I am a carpenter by trade and also work on my C6 Corvette in my limited spare time (added supercharger, engine coil relocation with polished valve covers, full interior removal and soundproofing installed, new stereo head unit with sub and red carbon fiber parts.)
I started a 7 drawer melamine cabinet resto-mod project last weekend. I tried to start a new thread but the site wouldn't let me. For whatever reason I am now able to. Keep your eyes out for a thread about the build. The build consists of an existing melamine cabinet that had 2 drawers on top and double doors on the bottom. I basically gutted the cabinet and I am just using the box shell. I am going to trim out the face and sides of cabinet with pre finished oak that I have left over from another job I did. The drawers will be made from oak sides and 3/4" birch plywood bottom.I plan on painting the new MDF drawer faces the same red as my corvette and add a white vertical stripe The counter top will be made of bamboo T&G flooring wrapped in oak trim.
One item I need to know is...what is the best way to post pictures. I see 2 different ways everyone posts here. One way the picture shows up in the thread. The other version requires you to click on a picture link. I prefer the embedded picture method. Quick advice on this would be great.
