Well it's not quite organized yet, but I got almost everything moved. I really need some proper stands, and bleacher stands. It can now be used though.

I think I am going to put that off for a while, it took me like 5 months to build the whole thing, I want to start trying to make some juice! I might just order one, or three of those clear plastic ones, I have seen posted, for nail polish. But we will see, I might change my mind tomorrow.

I have the basics down, I have been reading for months, I have the e-juice me up calculator, and down loaded a bunch of recipes for TFA flavors, I have enough to get started anyway, but thanks I will.

Looks great kas!!! You do great work

Thanks I was trying to make it perfect, but the finish has flaws in various spots, I had to strip the work table's finish off once, and redo it. The top shelf alone, took me 6 weeks to get the finish right, but I think the oak detail turned out nice.

I think using some type of cabinet's with doors on them would be best for you, you could look at one of those recycled building supplier places, for used ones.

Stormy, there's a few folks in this thread who'd like to talk to you about their Christmas list. #ImInnocent
Actually I posted your pic over there cause someone wanted to know if their stash was normal.

My stash looks pretty bleak right now...we just had our monthly juice making party. About 10 of us get together and make our fav juices for ourselves, family and friends, then we experiment with new recipes we want to try, Hence all the steeping bottles on the shelf, We let them steep for a month then we test them at the next party. We have a day of making juice, building coils, trying new set-ups, and since we are all girly girls, we go get pedicures afterward!

I'm so jealous, that sounds like a great time!!! The only other vapers I know are the people next door (my daughter and her boyfriend
) an neither one have any interest in coil building, mixing etc. My daughter does have two favorites that I make and just comes over and gives me her empty bottles when she is getting low....
I am not sure where I saw this pic, or who's it was, but I remember is was kind of hard to save. but stormy's and this one was my inspiration, for what I built.

Southern Yellow Pine is a serious blotcher & pretty difficult to finish cleanly without a bag full of tricks. Other than those spots, it's a very smooth stain job. Looks good.
And honestly, if I weren't a woodworker by trade, I'd probably not noticed some of the blotches. Sorry, it's a habit.
But seriously, they're pretty minor compared to what the vast majority of people would've done.
Some of the surface's, took 12 coats, of poly to get smooth, and the last surface, the face of the top shelf with the oak in it, took 16 coats, to get it smooth, that was a lot of coating and sanding.

We truly have a blast! Wish you were closer, you would love it.

This was the first time, I have tried to make something, of a higher quality then I have in the past, on some of them, I just gave up after 12 coats, and said good enough.

I guess I should add, that the shelf back board, I rushed through them, and only put 2 coats of poly on them, I was not to happy with them, I would kind of like to replace them at some point.

Lol. Hate to tell you, but that ain't nuttin.
Some projects are easier than others but I'd guess, on average, that 3/4's of my time on every project is spent finishing. Not including the dry/cure times, just the actual working time. I can spend 2 months getting a project out the door that I cut & assembled or turned in an hour or two.Woodworking - patience = kindling.
I have a few photos up on EVF, but I've been slacking in the photo department lately. I'm not a very good photographer & have really crappy photography gear.

Well I know what it's like now, and I found out how hard the finishing was, to get it right on this one. If I do another Project, I would buy premium lumber, rather then using left over lumber, from construction sites, that is what I used on this one.
KAS
I wouldn't get too caught up in the price aka "premium lumber". You can score some awesome stuff reclaimed or left overs like that. Some species are just a real PITA to work with or require certain tricks. You could get some amazing high dollar cherry & you'd be presented with pretty similar tasks as you had in that shelving unit. Every species has it's pros/cons & it's just a matter of learning the individual nuances... then picking up something else & starting from square one, all over again. There's always that love/hate relationship with new boards. I enjoy it. More complicated than making a new sandwich, less headaches than dealing with my ex. Win.
