This is a little somthing I built as a christmas present for my wife. It’s constructed of Oak and stands about 60” high and 36” wide. The shelves are just plywood banded with solid materail and are adjustable. For the most part it was built from scraps i had in the shop with the exception of the back which I had to purchase. All in all I have $50 and a weekend invested:)

Thanks,
With the exception of the crown molding, face frame and feet it’s all plywood. Kinda made it fast that way:)

In order to actually deliver a chirstmas present on chirstmas and not a year later, (LOL) I had to keep it all simple so I just shot on 3-4 coats of a semi gloss pre-cat lacquer.

Excellent job! It just goes to show what a skilled craftsman can do with relatively inexpesive materials.

Hi Ron;
This is a good looking piece.
Are you trying to earn “brownie points or something. Why all the work for the Mrs?
You’re making the rest of us look bad! LOL

Thank you all for the kind words:)
Now that’s just dang phunny right there Lee! I guess it’s time to cut her off then huh? Oh right after the kitchen… Yeah after the kitchen she’s done!!! I hope, probably not but it sounds good. Speaking of making one look bad I seem to re-call one jaw dropping entertainment center being built?

Great Job! Did you hand cut the base or is it an off-the-shelf style molding?

Thanks again:)
Chris the base was hand cut with a table saw, router, scraper and bandsaw. Oddly enough this was the quickest part of the project. Probably only a couple hours involved at the most. If at some point I can find the time I would love to do a tutorial on the process. It’s not half as complex as it would seem.
