Great work Fred ! 
How are you able to cover such large area's (sides) with new veneer and keep it from bubbling ?
I take it that you are using special glue fast dry (white ?) and not contact cement. You must have a ton of clamps. I know everyone seems to be talking about vacuum bagging, but that would require the cabinet to be disassembled in order to do the pieces flat. I have a Wurlitzer 1015 that needs new veneer, but I'm a little leery about how to proceed. I have a vacuum pump but not the bag or fittings yet. I've thought about doing the 2 sides and arch separately. You are lucky in that you said you are close by some good wood shops. I am not so lucky around these parts.
Keep posting all that nice work you do.
