We’ve offered several TV cabinet projects to our readers over the years. They’re handsome, sturdy, and… obsolete. The new flat screen TV’s don’t fit in the openings of the old projects. So this time, the designers created a media center that won’t go out of style or become obsolete.
The center begins with a base cabinet that can accommodate a 42″ television and all the boxes and cables that go with it. This can be a stand alone unit. Or as your space, time, and needs allow, you can add the side cabinets and the bridge over the TV. The cases are built of plywood with hardwood edging. Frame and panel doors complete the project.
Woodsmith is calling No. 180 the Special Storage Issue. It also includes a weekend project: Hanging Wall Shelves, and a designer series project: Snack Tray Cabinet. And it includes technique articles on making cove molding on the table saw and tenons on the router table.
Subscribers will see this issue in the mail boxes very soon. You’ll also find it on the newsstand, and you can visit Woodsmith.com to check out the issue and ask for a free preview issue.
