See if you can spot a cool little extra detail I added.

I got the cab built, but unfinished from TRM, then did the rest. I did the same with the head cab, which I got on eBay.
Dude that is an awesome looking cab! What are you into it for if you don't mind me asking? Ps - nice mic :)!

Haha - I've been wondering the same thing myself, and kind of avoiding adding up the cost!
The cab itself is $200 shipped.
The aluminum clamps were $40 iirc for two sets of 4.
The handles and grills were $50 from the site Tim from TRM suggested (maybe cheaper elsewhere, but i prefer his recommendation)
Used V30's ran me $160 shipped
The Hope 100% Tung Oil, Steel Wool and Sandpaper was maybe just a bit more than $20
I had the rest of the stuff I needed
So the total was about $470. Plus I enjoy doing this type of stuff. There was a guy an hour from me selling a Hard Trucker's Psychedelic Liberator. He agreed to $500 if I could scrape the cash together, but I lost contact with him. Plus, I would have sold the Eminence speakers and upgraded to V30's. So the Hard Trucker cab definitely would have cost me more.
Nice setup, like the full wood look now.
Are you not using a cab with an EV currently?
That's a good deal for sure. The HT's are $800-1000 used. Don't get me wrong, they're great cabs - especially if you gig out, but if I had to do it again, this would for sure be the best alternative! I'm almost tempted to sell mine and pocket $400 or so :)

I ended up selling the EV, and I have that Mesa Widebody 1x12 listed for sale. I love Mesa cabs, but need the cash and this 212 is light enough to lug around I think. I was really enjoying the EV, but even with the cabinet raised off the floor and the bass turned to 0, I still felt that was too much low-end. I'm much preferring the V30's.

Well, I finally got a chance to play it and it sounds great! I love front-loaded cabs - much more kick in the bass on attacks without turning up the bass and getting muddy. The pine has a bit more give - a kinda round, smooth vintagey tone to it.
You guys haven't found the hidden detail yet either.
Nice! I thought I found it?! The mic inside the grill?
Ha - sorry, I missed that! Yep.
