I decided to make a retro, ‘50s style cabinet for my TV and components. This is my version of a “mid-century modern” credenza.
If you would like to make one (it’s quite easy and inexpensive to build) you can download a full set of plans and/or a SketchUp file here.

I seem to remember another TV stand that you built about 2 years ago. This one replaces that one?

A great piece of furniture. I find that the older I get the more I appreciate the simple clean look of the furniture created during that time frame. Thanks for sharing it with us.

So that’s what a Credenza is!
Took me back in time.
If you are putting electronic ‘stuff’ behind those doors which uses infra-red controllers, you might consider replacing them with smoked glass doors, then you don’t have to keep them open in use.
To take the stress away from turning, and possibly even make you an expert in no time, you might try the Easy Wood Turning tools at http://www.easywoodtools.com/
