So here are the professional shots of my last project here at school. I call this piece “Hollow”. For those of you that might have followed my other blog, would know the stroy behind this piece. It is made from a foam core torsion box. Making the piece pretty light for a big unit. It measures about 6 feet long and 2 feet tall and 22 inches deep about. Made from Solid lipped MDF and veneered with fiddle back Tasmanian Blackwood. There are doors on the front and the back of the unit. These doors slide from side to side. Giving you the ability to close off any sections of the cabinet that you want to.
Pic 3: If it can hold me it will hold your Plasma TV. lol

Alright, Kaleo, the piece is up to your usual fine standards! Unfortunately, the last photo looks like a bad Playgirl centerfold. :-)

Great work as always Kaleo.
I am doing hollow core doors and veneer work for my current project. It’s amazing to think, “Someone’s paying me for this.”
And for the model – Hubba! Hubba!

Kaleo,
Once again, I immediately recognized this as one of your pieces before I saw your name below the pic. I really love your style and I see you going far with it. My first thought when I saw the last photo was “I’m not sure if this will help sell the piece.” After reading the explanation, maybe it will! Great piece!

By the way, how much longer do you have in school? I have to say I admire the guys that got to do schooling and have it laid out from A-Z in a structured environment.

I agree with you, Muzhik, completely. I, too, thought Kaleo at my first look. And the explanation of the last picture makes it a perfect selling strategy!

Nice piece of furniture. Well built and from the looks of the last picture it is solid.

Thanks guys and gals-
Yeah the last picture was more of a joke, but I think it is really funny.
Cajunpen- the entire outer carcass is made from a foam core torsion box. Solid timber would have made this piece extremely heavy.
Todd- School is officially over now, we are just getting ready for our final exhibition at the moment.

KEWL work! I showed your pic to the nurses here and they can’t wait for you to return to the states! Yeah, right!
How much does this weigh?

I would estimate that is weighs about 50 -70 pounds. It sits on casters so it can be rolled around.

Great design and an interesting concept using foam cored panels. A great design.
