Nice!

Nice!

You did your own doors! Awesome!

What kind of joints did you use for the rails and stiles?

I was going to try to make my own doors using mortise and tenon joints but I wimped out and bought some doors.

You can see my stand in my gallery.

thanks
the doors where preaty easy just basic, i used glue and C clamps with a 1/4 inch miter cut on back to hold together nothing else
the wood glue is strong i tried to pry the corners off & couln't do it i also mitter a cut around the inside of the door so the piece of wood would sit flat against the frame it was 1/4 cut whae u have the tools u can do anything u want as long as u put u'r head in to it took me a while to figure out how i wanted to do everything also i forgot to mention that the stand is 38 insc high inside i wanted plenty of room under there.
thanks again
