Christmas Rush, it's on!

OK, here we go! I won't have lots of time to do individual updates for all the cabinets in the shop so I will be posting an update once a week picturing what has been done for that week.

Here is the first update:

I've recently added a CNC machine to my shop so the level of accuracy I'm able to achieve has increased as you'll see from these pictures.

Lil Wayne

This cabinet is being built for a local friend. It's also the first one I've done which is based on a music personality. So far the pattern is attached to the door blanks which I glued up earlier today.

A nice email

There are several reasons I started Custom Dart Cabinets several years back. Number one is that I enjoy building dart cabinets but how many could I really build for myself? Ha! Actually, I've probably built close to 10 pieces for myself over the years. There was three "dart stadiums" in my house at one point! My wife had some influence in that number being brought down to one!

The other is the joy it brings the customer to have something that nobody else has! I often don't hear from customers once their cabinet arrives. In these cases I email them to make sure they were happy, and then I get the big "thank you" email. This in return brings me joy to know I built them something they are going to show-off to their family and friends! Below is the comment I got the day the recently finished "Steelers" cabinet arrived at the customers house. This was not solicited by me and that makes it all the better to find in my inbox.

"AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! Your pictures did not do it justice! It looks 10 times better than your pics. Seriously, fantastic job"


Sometimes, it takes me much longer to build a cabinet that I initially estimate. I don't intend this to be the case but I don't want to ship something out that isn't what I would expect to see myself. Much of my work on these cabinets is done in what spare time I have. It's certainly not something I am making a living at but more a labor of love.

So thank you for the kind words, Brian. It really makes my day to see that something I built for someone is appreciated this much!

Peace.
