My grandson wanted a new TV cabinet for his newly purchased wide screen TV and asked me to help him build one. He had a few particular things that he wanted in the cabinet, one of which was a pain in the bombossity (old generation speak for butt) for me.
As with most of my posts (and subsequent project articles), you can read about the entire project write-up on my website at: http://www.oldaveswoodshop.com/Austin's%20TV%20Stand%20Project.php
Not very photogenic in these views, but here is how it turned out.

Two thumbs up. My grandfather is probably one of the top ten “from scratch” model ship builders in the world. Working with him as a youngster building model ships and planes is in large part what drew me into woodworking.
Hopefully your grandson will remember this project for the rest of his life!
Have your say...
