We just returned from visiting our kids, grand kids, and great grand kids in Tulsa, OK. My daughter hit me up to build an entertainment center while we were there. She had some measurements (taken at her daughter's apartment) for a big TV, stereo, sub woofer, and a sound bar.
I used Sketchup to draw what I thought would work, and everything would fit.
Well, son-in-law didn't have a pocket hole jig, so the search was on. I found one at the local Tulsa Woodcraft store. I used the project panels available at the big blue box store so that made for some fairly easy construction.
The only part I used a router on was to round-over the three sides of the top.
While working on the project, I guess I was actually teaching also, because my daughter was asking a lot of questions, and she got to drill some pocket holes. We finished our part of the project at 5PM last Friday afternoon. However, what I didn't realize is there was more to come. As we made our way home to Houston, we got some updated pics. It seems she did some measuring, and got inspired by what she had learned. In her words, "I did a thing!". "It took some cutting, and a lot of sanding, but I made everything fit." And she stained the cabinet and sprayed it with a clear coat.
It turned out pretty nice. Now that is what I call Teamwork! :grin:
