Custom wood cabinet maker around Edmonton?
 
Hi was just wondering if anyone on here builds cabinets I'm just looking for a surround for my steel stand. Something 3 walls with doors on the front all held on with magnets.

Thanks
Phil.

Dude just bring the extra measurements to wherever you buy your wood from and get them to make your cuts. I plan on doing this this week.. Just skinning my canopy ATM. Maybe my stand as its steel as well. Otherwise I have found you will have to promise your first born or write a blank cheque. I haven't decided if I am going with maple oak or just a black stained pine.

Good luck. You need a heater garage and to kick the wife out for an afternoon ;)

I am doing a similar project right now, it really isn't difficult and custom cabinet makers really over charge.

Windsor Plywood will cut plywood to any dimension for only like $6.

I used these magnets from Lee Valley:

I like them because they are countersunk. I used the 3/4" magnets held in the #6 screws.

if your design incorporates a lot of trim pieces to hide seams etc you really can get away with murder and still produce something that's really nice. i also have home depot make all my cuts. i've never been charged either and for my last stand the guy made 10+ pieces for me out of a 4x8.

No problem, I'm happy it went to good use!

Lee Valley is a cool store, not at all what I expected when I first went in.
