Looks great. It's ironic that you were determined to follow the plans exactly and found a mistake in them with the drawer pull.

That's a fine looking piece. Congrats on a great job.

I also like the looks of your creation! I am not really surprised that there was a flaw in the plans as it seems just about every issue of ww rags there is a correction of a previous months project! Reading you post I also though that the lower knob would have been easy to do with a hanger bolt. That said a dowell and glue should be just fine given that you will probabaly not use that knob in normal use.

Nice looking job there Ken! When you said Zinsser sealcoat,,,was that a shellac you used or something else...before applying the poly topcoats?

Thanks again folks.
eezlock, Sealcoat is dewaxed Shellac. Oil based finishes don't like to stick to normal waxed shellac.
I use Sealcoat on almost every flat project now. It adds a very slight light amber tone and reduces the number of finish coats needed.

Well get your butt over here. I have a fresh 12 pack of Sam Adams waiting to share with you.

I like the design. espically the drawers.

<snip>It has a small footprint but holds lot's of VCR tapes and DVD's in the drawers. <snip>

VCR tapes? Haven't most of those crumbled to dust yet?

That looks really good, and more media storage is always nice.

I bought an LCD a couple weeks ago and have been kicking around what to do since having it sit on top (above a REALLY heavy 35" CRT) is not an optimal long term solution... Wall mounting and freestanding storage unit might be a good approach.
