Mission Style TV Cabinet Mission Style TV Cabinet Mission Style TV Cabinet Click the pictures to enlarge them

Our new TV needed a place to sit, so I designed a mission-style cabinet (I imagine the upcoming switch to digital is going to result in a lot of new cabinets and entertainment centers being built).

The dimensions (21.5” H x 48” L x 18” D) were calculated so it would match other mission-style furniture in the living room.

Like the Morris Chair, end tables, and coffee table, it has a red oak frame and top. The case itself is 3/4” plywood (rabbeted at adjoining edges, dadoes in the center compartment) with plenty of screws and glue.

The left-hand compartment is shallow (only 9” deep) to accommodate a UPS/Surge Suppressor/Power Strip and cable access (the rear of the cabinet is open behind this compartment).

This was my first go at both raised panel and glass doors. I made a set of ‘practice’ doors out of construction grade lumber, which helped me learn a bit about the techniques involved, and make sure I had good setup blocks for my router. Now, I’m trying to figure out what to do with the ‘practice’ doors … they look too nice to go into the wood stove!

Yup … everything but the audio component cabinet in the corner. I built a total of eight matching pieces in the living room.

Wow Dane. Youve done yourself proud building all of this nice matching furnature. As much furnature as you build for yourself you might want to save those spare doors as a reference for a future project. Those doors look nice and you moght want to use them on something elce.

Nice Work, great Idea. Nice to see real furniture in a home. I have vowed never to buy it again.
