Ms Deb,
I don’t think there’s enough space in this post!!
1. Cut backs too short on base, fix=dado top to fit down over sides and make backs fit
2. built and set door only to realize it didn’t fit flush fix=rebuild door and pay more attention to it laying flat having never built doors with 45 degree angles this was a learning process:(
3. Cut horizontal pieces on top to short,(even after I layed out the length on the base cut the damn wrong line:() fix=had to buy another piece of plywood
4. after buying new plywood now the dados didn’t fit cause the new plywood was maybe 1/32 thicker. Fix= re-dado, a realllll pain to make the existing dados just big enough to fit new plywood, sure I did it no problems it just cost me more time:(

These were just a couple mistakes that probably cost me a day or so but I guess I learned alot

Hey John the TV area is about 36 1/2” high X 59” or so wide this should work well for you. I think there’s about maybe $250 in it

Nice project, we’ve all had those dumb days when nothing goes right – I seem to have one on every other project, but I always seem to learn a little something from each mistake.

Well the best lessons come from the worst mistakes.

(at least that’s what I always tell myself)

Nice project.

Even though you had difficulties the project looks great. You did a fine job finding solutions to the problems that arose.

Thanks Os, it was just very frustrating to spend way more time than I needed to:( and that left me about 1/4 of the time to work on my LJ challange:( Oh well I am putting the final coats on that so I should be able ot submit it tonight with any luck:) I guess they all can’t be easy huh?

Really great. I can make a mistake turning on the lights in the shop. Nice job!

Do you still have the plans for that entertainment center?

Hey Paul I am not sure that I ever did get any plans together for that project but if you need some direction I can probably help out just yell.

Nice looking – if I didn’t already have two, I’d probably want one like this. Hubby designed and built both of ours, to fit around televisions we already had, so I can’t ever buy a LCD television larger than 32” – Oh, well, we’re both getting old so these two will outlast us.

Thanks:) The cool thing is that I built this what a year and a half ago? As I try to every one and again, I contacted this client the other day to check in and make sure it’s still working out as she had hoped and she’s still as happy as the day I delivered it:)

Those are not mistakes they are learning opportunities. Looks super well done.
