How long did it take to build the cabinets ?
If I were to guess, perhaps, 60 hours over several months. The biggest hold up was always waiting for glue to dry/cure before I could move on to another step.

It seems that many people worry about the time it would take them to do a good job .....
Well, I guess with nails and fruit boxes it would be much faster! 😉
Great job, congratulations !
PS: I liked the method used so that the T-Nuts do not come off, I used epoxy resin.
For a finish I use a 1:1:1 mix of satin oil based polyurethane... Just make sure you dispose of the rags correctly by burning them...
Polyurethane makes rather toxic fumes when it burns, not just the usual carbon monoxide but also cyanide compounds.
Better if you don't burn them.

Hi Dave. Absolutely beautiful work!!!
One question as i would like to build solid wood enclosures in the future.
What are the chances/effects of the finish oils penetrating deep enough to contact the in-wood glue bond along the joints and weakening it? Can that even happen?

The chances are approximately zero.
Otherwise furniture around the world would be falling apart left and right. 🙂
