This is a music cabinet that I completed on April 28, 2008. It was designed by the customer and built using paint grade maple and birch. This whole order, which includes a king Murphy bed and a couple of small cabinets, has been about a year in the making. There has been some snags in the design. The customer wanted the doors to be sealed where electronics are located which means the air has to be exhausted out. On this cabinet there are 4 fans that pulls air in and then transfers it up the sides and out the top.
This cabinet was designed to be used in a music room. It has a fold out table where 2 monitors will be located. There is also room in the section where the monitors will fold up for a keyboard and guitars to be stored. The top left side will has DVD/CD storage and adjustable shelves for files.
Here are the links found on my Current Projects page. This is where I also have my live video stream. As of post time I am working on a couple of chalkboard murphy beds.

Nice very nice ….so what you have is an Digital keyboard workstation and component storage is that correct …nice Job …so the fold out will hold the keyboard ???
So can i ask what the customers purpose in air movement ? Is it just to keep the dust off ?? That maybe very very smart I have certainly never heard of that before …
As i play keyboards also and have a music workstation and a music room ..it would be interesting to see the final setup that the customer will use …
I know in theory it is a nice idea to have and use fold-ups and fold them away but in reality not so easy to do as those things that are placed on the fold-up have to go someplace and a keyboard is not small nor are speakers so then where do you put them while the bench is folded up and put away …like an ironing board ..ya cant leave the close on the fold away ironing board …and then keeping music books and etc off the area …mean a diligent and very pro clean up kind of user…..not impossible but not seen all that much in my experience with music players / creators …
Very very nice jBeautiful job on the cabinetry yes ..
Thanks so much ..

Hi Chris
Great looking cabinet as always. I like the way the one panel drops down for the support leg. Is there just a hinge? thanks for posting.

Gator9t9, on the question of the puropose of air movement. It is in the bottom section only. That is where the computers will go. He doesn’t like the noise that the computer makes so it will be completely sealed up with sound dampening material. We need the air movement for the heat since it is totally closed off.
Also I’ll try to post or send pictures if I get some from the customer.
