I made it exactly how the customer wanted, to hold a lcd TV.
Sadly, they measured the screen only, so the TV and stand will not
fit in! She wants me to make the inside 2" higher.
The top is a mitered; the bottom is butt jointed. I thought of
sawing the bottom out and putting a new bottom below it but that
would only gain 3/4". She is willing to pay for "repairs", but I
can't think of anything that wouldn't look like repairs.
Any ideas of anything that could be done that would look good?
The project is butternut.
I suspect it is cheaper and easer just to start over, but would like
to salvage it if I can.
I would like to put some walnut uprights in it, and hang the TV from
the uprights (losing the stand . I think that would look great, but
she doesn't.
You could cut the top off about 2" or 3" down and biscuit joint it with a
darker piece of 2" in between the top and lower body.
This will give a nice band going around the top.
The grain on the sides runs vertically. That would make it difficult, as
the insert would have to be vertical also.
