Their son "needed" a TV cabinet for his bedroom, so I built one using salvaged 1X11 quarter sawn long leaf pine.... installed maybe a week ago. Scroll right for 2 more pics.

Hey that looks good AND STOUT!. LOL

It is pretty robust. Their son is a good kid, 13 yrs old, makes straight A's in school, likes rustic things and the outdoors. The rocks seen in the pic is petrified wood I've had for a long time. His paternal grandfather is retired from the forestry service, so the petrified wood is a gift complementary to Grandpa and to my woodworking interests. Alex likes his decor "rocks". Initially (some 6-8 months ago) I was to build a smaller tall/slim display cabinet for the petrified wood, then the new home presented the TV-display cabinet option.

Similarly I am converting a built in cabinet and shelves into an
entertainment center for a customer. I hate doing on site conversions
but this is a good repeat customer and the hard part is behind me and
they are liking the direction it is going. So there is that.
I am in the middle of building a walnut Electronics garage to sit on top
of the built in cabinet and below the flat screen. Then walnuts doors
for the lower cabinet with fabric grills.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

OK, so not as complicated as what Leon is doing, but I converted this
$50 consignment shop hutch...

....into a kitchen island for my daughter.

The slats from the upper section of the hutch became the back panel of
the island so it looked good from all sides. I upgraded the wood-on-wood
drawer slides to full extension, self close. It was a fun project.

When I delivered it to her in Vermont, I swung through Massachusetts and
picked up my Dad, 82 at the time. The three of us went to Killington and
took the gondola up to the top of the mountain for lunch. The spring time
view was pretty neat.
