    TV Stand

    Hi guys,

    I had a Walmart entertainment center that was destroyed during my move, and decided to apply the insurance money to wood. Here is my try at the first part of the entertainment center...I hope to make a pair of matching towers to hold the A/V equipment, and a shelf that bridges the two towers.

    It is birch ply framed with poplar. The finished is minwax sedona red and wipe-on poly. Nothing real fancy here, but I used a coping jig and made a new router fence for this project and had a much better time with the doors than on previous projects. The shelves inside are knock-down shelves, and the box is put together with pocket-holes.

    Thanks for looking,
    --tlt

        Great job. I would never have guessed it was birch ply and poplar.

                      What's not fancy about it? Super job! It's projects like that that make Poplar say "I can be hot too, you know!"

                        Wow, very good looking.

                        What are the dimensions?

                        Are those door-panels in ply? Can you raise a ply panel?

                        and do you have closer picture? (wanted to see if you had a routed an outside bead profile for the door rail/stiles, as the pic seems to indicate).

                        i am just trying to figure out if this could be my grand ww project (ever promised, yet to deliver).
