Custom made pine TV Cabinet

Designed myself months ago and sent the design off to a carpenter, quoted me a price and we agreed, got delivered today.

Very very pleased! It weighs an absolute ton, completely solid, all old school joints on it (proper carpentry joints), the draws don't move a single mm when seated, slot in perfectly. It smells lush, I absolutely love it.

Now to get the 46-50" TV that it was designed for :)


....or maybe a floor first, should definitely finish renovating before I buy anymore stuff for the house :o

Also, before anyone asks about the huge gap for the shelf, it's so if I get a massive centre speaker, it'll still go in :)

I'm pretty sure I remember you asking about this on here. Whether or not to buy a ready made or get a chippie in.

Glad you made the right choice. That will hold it's value, and it looks great. Cannot beat that fresh wood smell.

It is pretty amusing to see how much Raymond spends in starbucks and apparel, as said the coffee isn't even that nice! I understand the one vice thing but buy a coffee machine and coffee? The pic of all those glasses/tumblers and looking at the price of them online you could easily buy something much nicer :o

He must like one of the women who work in there. But then again, they aren't that attractive, so he must actually like the coffee!
