So, we go out and buy this big TV. Then, look at entertainment centers we like. After recovery from sticker shock, I tell my wife: I can build what we need... And then, the Christmas gift that keeps on giving. :-)
Actually, not so bad. The center credenza for the entertainment center I'm building. It's unfinished and that's next. After the credenza, I have to bookshelves. Open framing. They'll be 18" x 12" x 68".
Here's the project link here...
Worked from my own plans, but based on a design we saw at Crate & Barrel, then modified. Crate & Barrel had 2" framing, which was kind of clunky looking. And, didn't like their doors much.

That's a Sony Bravia 55" LCD on this credenza.
The especially nice thing about building it for myself is making sure it works how I want it. There's things you can size for exactly what you want. There are shelves behind the doors sized for media storage boxes. And, those vertical separators on the top row leave about 3" behind them for passing cable between components.
Too many of the store bought aren't sized quite correctly to fit what I want.

Looks great. I also went out and got a replacement set for my bedroom but anything that can hold it is $$$ (the TV is 55" LED). Been looking at a number of projects and considering getting the Kreg Jig. You've definitely inspired me.
That's beautiful wood on that house. It was interesting wood to work with. Loved the somewhat sweet smell from cutting the lumber.
My only regret was that the veneers on the phillipine ply I had were just paper thin. Couldn't wave a sander at them without the color thinning out.

I've been using my Adaptive Cutting System table for a few years now, and it's been really solid. This past week was the first time I ever needed to use the miter guide though.I was rebuilding some shelving in a tiny closet and I discovered the…Continue

I am building a small trunk for a military friend to put some belongings in. I have made legs out of ash hardwood and will make the sides out of 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. The legs are 1.5” thick by 2” wide. So since I’m drilling pockets in…Continue

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…

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…
