TV stand (well, kind of)

Your wife does a great job designing furniture. You on the other hand do an outstanding job in building it. You make a great pair.

White oak lumber is nice wood to build something like this, and it will last a very long time. I like the finish you have on this.

Keep up the great show of your projects. I learn something else each time you post. Unlike a few, you tell how you achieved your “creation” and that helps those that are “creatively impaired”. Thanks a bunch.

Very nice set, Niki! Looks like it will last forever, too.

wow…beautiful…is one of the “fashlahs” the door on the left of the middle pic?? It looks gorgeous—-but the door edge has a much darker edge…

very nice…and I agree with Jack——thanks for teaching!

Great. Thanks for sharing Niki.

Good night to you and Good morning to me

Thank you for your kind replies

Jack
My wife has probably “natural talent” for design and everybody that visits our house is calling here to “see” what changes they can make in their house. Some people just “have it” – I’m not one of them…

Matt
The Fashlah on the door is natural but I have also some part in it by choosing a board with sap wood (I did not notice it till now) next time I’ll pay more attention and choose the nice boards for the front or the most visible parts.

To everybody
The doors “Panel raising” wasn’t done with the normal “panel raising bit”, I don’t have the bit nor the router to turn such a big dia bit, that tells you “If there is a will – there is a way”.

Thanks

Looks like you got carried away on a tv console. Its beautiful. Nice work. jockmike

Very nice Niki, with that design you’ll be able to put a 100” TV on it.

Niki: You mentioned that the wood was 1” thick. Is that the same for the drawer fronts. What wood did you use for the drawer sides etc.

Thank you

To buy a 100” TV will be waste of money, I’m watching TV about 1 hour a day and usually it’s before falling to sleep, not in the leaving room.

Karson
Yes, also the drawer fronts are 1” thick. The drawer sides and bottom are made of 1/2” BB plywood and are the simplest drawer construction – just screws and without any finish.

Who wants to watch tv when you can be in the shop? Nice work Niki. My first thought was that it looks like it belongs in a furniture store! Very nice design and execution.

Niki, I’m just about to do a built in unit in our home theatre and was looking at this piece. I’m going to do some base cabinets and was just perusing this work for ideas. Thanks.
