My project is a wooden dart board cabinet made of walnut, with a maple CU Buffalo latch, along with automatic lighting.
Specifications:
- Doors swing completely open, closed, and fit flush and clean
- Latches closed securely with CU icon
- LEDs, operated with push switch, turn on while open, off when closed
- Piece maintains a craft, handmade aesthetic
- Fasteners are fairly well hidden, craftsmanship is top priority
Constraints:
- Cabinet large enough to fit dartboard, darts, and scoring table
- Cabinet small enough to reasonably fit on wall
- Must be light enough to securely fix to wall (including board weight)
- Total material cost < $50
- Lights must fit in small channel, wired to wall

I like the idea for your project a lot! Do you think it would be feasible to add pressure plates behind the board that activate the lights when a dart hits the board?
This is a really cool project. Will the wires for the lighting be hidden away (like drilled into the wall behind the dart board) or be seen by the players?
This is a great project, It looks like it is going to be very high quality, how are you planning on keeping it below your $50 budget? Also, are you planning on having the lights wired up to the latch so that they automatically turn on when the cabinet is opened? I am excited to see how this turns out, keep it up!
