Building the Base
first step was to build the base in which the cabnet will be based on.
Building the Sides
once the base was done it was time to build the walls. i made each panel seperate. it was a bit hard to get them square since the pallets were all different thicknesses and shapes
Putting on the Top
putting on the top of the cabnet wasnt too bad. just had to cute a bunch of timbers at the same length and then rip the last one down to get the desired width.
Doors and Divider
building the divider was easy. a few measurements and then just nailing them in.
bulding the doors was the same. i divided the space and that became the door width. i found some old hinges to use for the doors and for the door knobs i found some old draw handles and knobs and used those

Building the Shelf and Painting
the last part of the build was to put in a shelf which would house all the records which this build was designed for.
after that i stained the cabnet with a dark mahogany stain which i found. i then went over the top with a jarrah stain to bring some red through and also give some areas a totally different colour eg. the doors.
