Project Information

I was able to procure a TV for the office, but there was really no where for it to go, so I set about building a surround for the TV that would allow it to hang on the wall and not fall off during the frequent earthquakes. The building is an old shipping container, so the walls are pretty flimsy. I built the box to allow maximum viewing within the office and then someone showed up with a sound system and I put some shelves on the sides to hold the speakers up. The TV can be removed without taking the surround apart so that we can add wiring as needed and project presentations for meetings as well.

I am still able to make all of my projects with only a drill, battery powered saw, a tape measure, and two clamps. Only a little over a month to go before I can return to my real workshop.

I just wish the instructions for the TV were in English instead of Japanese and Arabic.

The table is actually the desk of one of the people in the office. We took over a corner of the desk for the sound system, but the wires aren't long enough for the DVD player to reach the desk, so I will probably build a shelf for the equipment in the near future.

There is no way to hide all the wires in the office here (you can see a few at the top of the photo). I think the only way to hide the wires would be to rip out all of the electric and computer systems and start over…
