Project Information

My daughter needed a cabinet for her new TV, but it needed to fit in the corner of the room, so I came up with a six-sided design.

It is built of Red Oak, 41" wide, 20" deep, and 24 1/2" high. The two drawer boxes are 1/2" hard maple with machine cut dovetails and full extension slides.

Due to the shape of the carcase, I had room in the back to tuck a power strip/surge suppressor so all of the cords and cables are concealed inside the cabinet.

The finish is 2 coats of Danish Oil, followed by 5 coats of satin poly.

Gerry that turned out beautiful. I like the idea that you hid the cords inside the cabinet instead of just on the back. Your dovetails and frame and panels look great!

Drew-Thanks! The oak frame is mortise & tenon, but I cheated a bit on the joints. I put a 1/8" 45-degree chamfer all the way around the show surfaces … adds a nice little detail and hides any slop that creeps into the joints.

Very creative thinking in the design. Looks great. I'm sure your daughter will treasure it for a long time. Maybe pass it down.
