    Mark,

    It looks great!

    You're a bit ahead of me, I'm in the process of building my own cabinet of a similar size, and I may borrow your idea on plane storage. Unfortunately, I only made the...

    Bobby, I'll let them acclimate a bit. I still need to check moisture content but I expect they'll be fine. The planes I'm sure will be up to the task. Not sure if my arms will be. I'm hoping to...
