Very nice. Smart move putting the TV on a tray. Makes wiring so simple.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Good wood, design and craftsmanship. Well done Jagwah

Thanks, but mostly it’s to show another idea and if your like me, and I know you are, little ideas gather like sand in the brain.

The grains pile up and mingle. Then when the time comes to think about a project or resolve an issue the grains pour out. Even without a need the little grains will pile up and fall out on their own during the oddest of moments. Them’s called epiphanies!

Got that right Jag. Masterful piece of work. If you would care for a pickers opinion like mine. Just beautiful.

I have shied away from using makore, and passed over some amazing boards of it because a friend told me the sawdust smelled like ammonia and burned the skin and nostrils. Care to shed any light on your experience with it? Beautiful project by the way.

I didn’t notice a thing at all. No odor or skin irratations that I recall. Some woods bug me like Imbuia others entice me like Paduak and some rosewoods with their aromas. Only rash I ever got was across the stomach from a belt sanders dust while sanding down some heavily formaldehyded mdf years ago.

Wow it looks so much bigger when it’s open! I like the idea of the TV being hidden when it’s not in use. That’s so nice, you must have a large living room. Did you make the shelves next to it too?

Yes, I did make the adjacent shelving. It is bigger inside than it would look from the outside.

The room is actually 11’ x 17’ and it is on the longer wall. There really wasn’t enough room for a typical sized cabinet. By inseting the interior into the wall and setting the adjacent cabinets the same it helped make the room feel bigger.
