Our old TV died so we had an excuse to upgrade to a flat panel. Naturally, the flat panel wouldn’t fit where the old, 26” tube type did so I had an opportunity for a project. The cabinet is ash, and was made from a PlansNow.com plan. I modified the front facing to include half-lap dovetails. The plan called for butt joints. I also added the draw-pinned breadboard ends to the cabinet top.

I’ve enjoyed the “you made that?” comments almost as much as the new, HD TV.

I’m not sure if the dog is waiting for Lassie re-runs or if she just wanted to be in the picture.

I really love this piece. Great styling, wood choice and finish.

I thought she was waiting for Rin Tin Tin to come on.

Very, very nice. The breadboard ends really add a nice touch.
You guys are really dating yourselves with Lassie and Rin Tin Tin :)

Beautiful entertainment center. The breadboard ends were a good touch. You guys are all wrong, the dog is waiting for Roy Rogers’ show and his wonder dog Bullet.

Beautiful!, I’m looking to build something similar. Thanks for sharing it – looks like the dog approves also!

Very handsome cabinet. You should be proud.
I always wanted a dog like rin tin tin, but my parents gave me floppy eared mutts from the pound and told me to use my imagination. I did.

Thanks for the kind words on the cabinet. It has gotten me lots of new tools (my wife liked it and is hopeful of additional items coming in from the garage). The dog is our three year-old Lab/Rottweiller mix. Her name is Kuma, which is Japanese for bear. She looked just like a little black bear as a puppy. The lab part will fetch a ball a couple of times and then the Rotty takes over and says “you go get the stupid ball, I’ve already gotten it twice and I need to keep an eye on the neighborhood.”

Very nice unit, I really like the door panels. The finish looks really good and the craftsmanship looks excellent too.

(or “the littlest hobo”—but you’d better hope that he never comes into your part of town. It aways means trouble is following close behind!)

Great cabinet.

Very cool cabinet job. Better than any you can buy in a store for sure. It will last a whole lot longer also! Great job.

Great cabinet, I made one similar http://lumberjocks.com/projects/2431. I really like the doors and the bread board ends.

I just finished a similar project, I will post eventually on the blog but I wanted to complement you on yours and especially the breadboard ends. I wanted to do them on mine but was scared to try. There were so many “firsts” for me on this project which seemed to work out OK that I figured I was pushing the odds if I attempted!
