    Wide Screen TV Stand

    Last Saturday morning (2-18-06) my supervisor from work called and asked if I could build him a stand for his new tv. It had to be of oak, stained with his supplied stain and be finished buy this weekend. He even said he did not care what I charged! His new house is finally finished and this weekend is move-in time.

    He emailed me a link to a sony supplied stand; the one he bought with the tv, BTW, which turned out to be too large for the space he wnated to place his tv. http://www.abtelectronics.com/product/17298.html


    His Stain is 1/2 red oak minwax and 1/2 some other shade that escapes me at this moment. This project took 1 sheet of 3/4" oak ply from the Borg, 2- 1"x6"x8' red oak boards, and 1- 1"x5"x10' red oak board. The two 8' boards were purchased at the Borg (I needed materials quick) and the 10' board came from my local lumber supplier (@ $4.09/ ln. ft.). Normally I purchase lumber for my projects in Spokane, WA but due to time constraints I could not afford the three hour one way drive.

    Now for the pics: finish is above mentioned stain and three coats (so far) of water based poly.

        Man, Mark, that's nice....and the "I don't care - charge me whatever you want" statement HAD to break your heart!

        When I was stationed in Everett a couple of years ago, I drove thru Ellensburg several times to visit friends that lived in Othello. Ellensburg looked like a really quiet, nice place to live, but of course, we were just passing thru. - can't say that about Othello - yuck!

        Of course, looking at the temps...I prefer FL to western WA.

          That is because he is rich off of what he doesn't pay you . But seriously, it looks great.

              Great job Mark,
              That looks first class, and your not justifiably a little bias Mrs. Walnut your also right.

                              At least your boss is smart enough to know where to get great, custom built furniture.
