The bottom and top of each panel has these vent like
shapes.
It took forever to cut them all. I would NEVER have
been able to do this at home in my basement. |

The trick is to apply glue to the wood before nailing.
It helps bond the pieces much tighter, almost melding
them into one piece. |

Here I am carefully aligning the Neon detail onto
the wall unit. |
