Not sure if anyone is interested but I thought I'd put my AV cabinet build up on here. The idea is to have a three section unit with my amp, PS3 etc in the cental one, DVD's/blurays in the left and the sub in the right hand side, I also want it to fill the alcove to the left of my TV so it can be used for extra seating/a reading seat.
First step is to make the frame, so cut up the wood 44mm PAR baton.
I was originally planning to do some fancy(ish) tenon joints I don't really have the time so thought I'd screw and glue instead.
I actually probably did this slightly the wrong way around, but I next screwed it together, I've bought a plug cutter to recess the screws, hopefully the screw heads will be mostly invisible once I'm done.
For the side panels I'm using 18mm hardwood ply, again I was going to use pine planks but this will be cheaper, stronger and its going to be painted anyway.
I'm going to recess the panels into the frame and glue it up, it'll add strength and look better.
So time to break out the router and my homemade table. Lots of mess!
And...I forgot to take a picture of it all back together again.
Next step will be to cut the side panels, make shelves, doors and cut the top which will be out of the 18mm ply again.
Mildly boring post!
