Coolidor project

[shilala]

I dig the idea, Shane, and I see where you're going. It's pretty cool and it's nice and functional. Thing is, once you've spent that money it's gone, and you'll grow out of it before another year is up, guaranteed.
If you're making that setup in your own shop from inexpensive material, that's one thing. If you're paying someone big ching to knock it out for you, that's another. As a woodworker, that'd be my advice if you came to me to make it for you. If you insisted, I'd definately talk you into an inexpensive base material so you can set aside the whole thing when you move into vino territory.
You'll be doing yourself a big favor if you put this money away towards a vino, because it's going to be substantial in shipping alone, compared to what a vino or edgestar costs.
If you can't shake the idea, and you can grind it out yourself for next to nothing, rock on. If you have it custom made from Spanish Cedar, and see the price, I think you'll change your mind and wait.
However you decide to go, please keep us updated. I'd like to see what you decide, and what it looks like if you have it done.
