Tim,

I used these plans here except I modified the bottom area to fit a drawer and made a base to make it taller.

I didn't really have any plans for the bottom portion/base I just basically cut out a modernish look I liked and kreged it up, like a cabinet base. I wanted the cabinet to sit taller.

The drawer slides are 160lb rated. I used a 3/4" back and front, the sides are 1/4 inch ply, the back and front are going to support the most weight, so i kregged and glued those. Probably over did the back of the drawer, I think i used 8 - 10 kreg screws.

I used walnut ply for the top, edge banded in maple, and for the bottom base I used maple 1x6 I purchased from Home Depot. One of the solid woods they sell.

There are alot of posts on the forum and a lot of good ideas , i suggest signing up for audio karama so you can see the images ect... it will give you an idea of how to easily make modifications.

I also made a mate for it! Pretty basic on that one, I just wanted to make sure the player had room, and amp. Except for this one i used the shelf pin system, so i could move the middle shelf.
