mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 Peartree, although I like the colors and design ... what happened with the doors? Personally, if I was paying someone to do my kitchen, these differences in gaps between doors would not be acceptable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peartree 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 The sink base doors are adjusted as far as they will go, all the other cabinets are 2 part doors, which I hate because of just what you're looking at. They have different spacing depending on how you close them. I didn't design this one, and there were a lot of things I personally would have done differently, but the owners are very pleased with it. It's a lot of stuff going on in a very tight space, and a huge upgrade from what they had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bighornbuster 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2019 I am intigued by the base for the regal. It seems to have been repurposed from a dado cutter? I also liked the cockpit style tool and thread holders. That said I am also filling my boxes. So far three colors and sizes of lightning bugs, a variety of pheasant tails, some prince nymphs and psycho,princes, a couple dozen wooly buggers, a dozen sparkle minnows, some barely legals and sex dundeons including some triples which is a significant time investment and a host of others. I appreciate the post Mr. Knapp. A far cry from the rolltop kerfuffle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the post Mr. Knapp. A far cry from the rolltop kerfuffle. You, Mr. Bighornbuster, are quite correct, it is repurposed from a dado cutter. The Regal was inherited from a very fine man that helped get me started tying flies and fishing them. When I got it, it had a clamp on it. The cockpit style tool holder was, in part, repurposed from an old piano keyboard cover. Just a little roll top dust-up. I personally feel like both those guys are fine gentlemen, though I don't know them personally. At least no fly rods got broken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
