Today I started work on a TV cabinet. It will be a simple affair with panelled sides a cupboard for DVD's at the bottom with a shelf for a DVD player and a TV will sit on the top. I started by cutting the framework timber to size After measuring for the Mortices they were cut on the bench morticer. Tennons were cut on the table saw with my jig. They were then trimmed using the RAS. After three hours it was time for the first dry fit of the frame: Hoping to finish the frame tomorrow and start work on the panels. | ||

Well it must be a big TV. You could park your truck on it. I like it. I bought a store model & it's sagging in the middle. (on the "brand new to be modified" "to do" list) Looking good, keep us up to date with the progress.

Mailee, you sure don't waste time, coming along fine, but the size of the legs! Never in my life have I seen an entertainment cabinet that would be safe to hide under as a bomb shelter!
__________________ Harry The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking. http://members.dodo.com.au/~sharry02/ | ||

Feeling a little better today After catching a flu bug that has been doing the rounds I ventured into the workshop again. I did some sanding and managed to get the front frame in glue up I then set about cutting and preparing the panels that will fit into the frame work. Then these were left in the clamps for the morning. | ||

I got the panels finished today and tried everything together for a dry fit. With the panels in place the legs still looked too 'chunky' for me so I ran a stopped cove detail around the panels, I think it improves the look and makes the legs look a little lighter, what do you guys think? | ||

LOOKING GOOD Was just ribbing about how strong. Strong is good. Now that the panels are on its looking like a nice piece of furniture.

I was back on the TV cabinet today and finally got it glued together. I have almost finished varnishing it and am now working on the doors. I still have to add the shelves which I hope to do tomorrow. | ||
