Very nice. How many DVDs will it hold?

Very pretty. And pretty impressive for your first decorative piece!

Thanks for looking. I’m not really sure how many it can hold. I made it for my oldest boy and his girlfriend. They have a mix of videos, dvd’s and cd’s in it, but it still looks pretty empty.

Nice piece! I’m sure your son liked it.

I saw this in Wood. Nice job!

Nice piece, and welcome aboard.

I have that issue. I think you did an excellent job. It might even look better than the one in the article.

That looks great, and that’s exactly what I want to build for my next project. Anybody know what issue of Wood magazine that was in?

Hey Mattie, the “media storage cabinet” is in Wood magazine issue 160 Dec/Jan 2004/2005

-- Lori

Thanks a bunch, now I just gotta find it. Great work on your piece again, very inspiring!

Lori,
Very nice job. I like functional furniture projects. What kind of wood and finish did you use? I didn’t see the little pistol though-LOL. I guess it was on duty at the time of the photo!

Thanks Ken. i don’t know if he actually uses it for the pistol or not, but I know he tried it and it does fit. The wood is red oak with red oak ply and edge banding. The finish was a very strange combination of minwax and even some cinnamon, yes cinnamon, colored paint. I was trying to match some furnishings they already had. No I never did match, but they like and use it anyway. The whole mess was topped with a few coats of wipe on poly (home-made).

-- Lori

That is a good looking storage system.

Very nice looking piece of furniture and secrets to boot. As long as no one knows that the name of his gun is “Lori K 200” the secret should remain intact.
