This Enclosure was designed and built to handle a series of Bible Study Courses that an employer was making available to his staff. What you can not see is that the vertical walls are flush with the inside of the face frame as well as the center strip. Essentially two bookcases installed in another enclosure. This beast is really heavy but with its shallow depth, that is an advantage. Nonetheless, I did fasten it to the wall upon delivery.
The material is all Red Oak with a MinWax Golden Oak stain and 6 coats of semi gloss lacquer sealer followed by a rub with burlap to knock down the gloss just a tad to match existing pieces.

beautiful, functional, and sturdy. Can you get any better than that? I think not!

Well done

Very Nice Cabinet … When I first read the title and saw the size of the cabinet, my thought was how did you find time to build that if you have that many videos to watch

That is a very nice piece of furniture!

  • Are the shelves adjustable or dadoed into the sides?
  • How do you like the Euro style hinges?

No Tom, the shelves are not adjustable. They sit in dados on all three sides. This enclosure was purpose built and the shelf spacing as well as the overall height were established by the size and number of videos planned for the series. He apparently has someone on his staff creating the discs and companion study guides and they had the storage format established before approaching me.
As for the euro hinges, I use nothing else.
I did get a call from them the other day though. I suggested at the outset that we dress up the top with some crown and dental molding. They felt that the plain top was more in line with their existing furniture at that time. They are having second thoughts now but are not to happy with the price to modify the unit. Unfortunately, I DO NOT NEGOTIATE ON PRICE. It is what it is. Always has been, always will be.
