Almost a couple of weeks ago one of my co-workers was asking me about making him a TV stand for his new wide screen tv. I told him to ask our boss about how he likes the one I made for him three years ago and gave him the URL to find the pics of that one. He decided to have me build one and to have it stained dark oak. I purchased a sheet of 3/4" oak ply and about 8 bf of red oak 4/4 stock. The stand will go into a corner. I detest miters but that's what he wanted. It sits about 17 1/2" high and is 22" deep at the deepest part and 46" + wide. I used an off cut from a bygone project for the rear center section. The case is just glued. The face frame and top edging is solid wood all glued. The top is affixed to the cabinet by wodd blocks with a rabbet that fits into a dado in the case and faceframe.
One of his requests was to have a seperate box to sit on top to encase his satelite receiver with a lazy susan shelf to hold the TV. This will not be attached to the top of the cabinet but will have 6 locating dowels. He was able to get a used bar stool lazy susan from a local furniture store. The main part of the case is ready for staining in the pics. The upper box and shelf still need some final planing, scraping and sanding. I'll post more pics once it is completed. Still need to stain and 3 or 4 coats of brush on gloss poly.
