While not a completely accurate title, this project was constructed to accompany a television. A TV will not be sitting on, or, of course, in this cabinet. I understand that the TV is mounted on the wall of the persons home. This cabinet will be used to house the additional electronics and associated VHS tapes, DVD's etc. that will be used in the entertainment aspect of using the TV. The customer wanted it built out of pine and that isn't much of a problem. I usually don't work with pine for one main reason....it is rather "resiny". That means that when milling and cutting the wood, you end up with a pitch/tar type resin that coats your tablesaw blades, the inside of the tablesaw, your router bits and anything else that is used to cut, shape and work with your pine. It adds up to extra work with the cleaning of the tools and machines. But that is what the customer specified and you know the old saying....."the customer is always right!".
Nothing unusual about this project. Pretty straight forward and an easy project. One thing that was a first with this project was the installation of sliding glass doors in the top portion of the cabinet. Had never done that and it turned out to be an easy installation. Just needed to order the track that the glass would slide within and special order the glass. The customer chose to do the finishing himself. The cabinet measures 47 inches tall - 16 inches deep front to back and 30 inches side to side across the front.
