TV Stand

After buying a flat panel 37" TV, our existing entertainment center had to go. Pricing new ones was discouraging. They cost almost as much as the TV! So I got the ok from my wife to build one. As I posted on the forum I ran into some trouble drilling the pocket screws into the oak faceframe. The screws caused bulges and a few poked through! Both pieces of wood were 3/4 inch and I followed the specs on my Kreg tools. I had no problems on my last project and I built to whole thing with a Kreg Jr. I now have the K4 kit. With help from a guy in the forum, I have moved the depth collar a few 1/16's of an inch for a more shallow hole. I also burned out my cordless drill last night. Its a12 year old a Craftsman 13 volt. So now I'm using a Black & Decker electric hammer drill. Need to replace that drill fast- many more holes to drill. I'll post some pictures tomorrow of my progress.

Is there a link for posting pictures?

Comment by woodbutcher on April 15, 2009 at 4:19pm: Looking good... did you edgeband the top with Pocket-Holes as well?

Comment by Tim King on April 15, 2009 at 7:32am: Here are some updated pics. Added inner walls, center shelves, top, and top molding

There sure is, Tim! At the top white space where you typed in your blog entry, there's a little 'camera' icon. When you click that icon it will allow you to upload a photo of your choice from your computer or post a photo which is already on the web somewhere.

I'd love to see some photos of that TV stand!

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
