My father-in-law, Dean H. Prewitt (deceased) of Joshua Tree, CA, designed and made a large built-in unit like this. This was back in the late 70’s. I always really liked it because Magazines could also be displayed as well as Books. I finally reverse engineered it, drew plans, added a face frame which included the shelves (he left shelf edges open).

I changed the overall dimensions to fit a small entertainment center I’ve been working on, in the design stage.

I plan on having two of these Book-Mag cases… one on each side of the entertainment console (still in design stage). The second case is in process… just like this one…

Dimensions: 7’5” x 2’ x 1’
Top, bottom, sides, & shelves are 3/4 cab. grade Birch ply.
Back is 1/4” Poplar ply.
Face Frame is 3/4 Poplar.

Dyed with Trans-Tint, Golden Brown (closest match to Dad’s), and topped with Shellac.

Plaque was made by Leo D. Voisine of E. Freetown, MA

Hi,

I just added this little Remote Control Cabinet to my small Gallery along with a quick description.

Just thought you’d like to see it…

Nothing to write home about, but it was Needed and FUN to make.

This is my first Project being posted here… hope it’s not too bad.

I recently finished this project… thought you’d like to see it.
