So after roughly a year of reading, researching, reading some more, and endless thoughts about how I was going to start my first grow. I've jumped in full steam ahead.

After making many different designs, with both pre built cabinets and self-made. I decided to take my first leap at carpentry with this cabinet. The cabinet dimensions are 7.5x2x4. The flower room is 4x2x4, and the veg room is 2x2x2.

Here is the cab in sketchup;

And... after a few hours of work most of the framing is done.. MDF is all cut and ready to be drilled to the sides. Paint, doors, inner dividing walls tomorrow. That's all for today.. Time for a bowl.

Doors... + swivel wheels because this thing is a fucking tank. A few things are uneven (As i am NOT a carpenter, this just needs to do what i need it to, aesthetics are not the point obviously :joint:)
