Construction

I learned a lot from my last cabinet construction project, so this one has fewer bothersome issues.  Building a bartop in itself is a unique challenge: the goal is to cram a whole cabinet into a small space.  I had to do lots of measuring and dry test fits to make sure everything was going to line up properly in the end.

In addition to correcting the worst of the newbie mistakes, this cabinet also has artwork (marquee, panel overlay, painted sides) which added an additional challenge.  I know my way around GIMP but had to take a few passes to arrive at a cohesive theme that was simple, clean and effective.
