Entertainment Center Revisited
3 Attachment(s)
In 1995 I built a rather unique entertainment center that would house stereo
equipment, CD's, a 35" console TV, provide display storage, speakers and provide an opening to an existing opening. Whew! So any way my customer called me a couple of weeks ago stating that the 35" console TV was shot and they now have a 37" LCD setting in its place and wanted to know if I could I fill in the voids. Attached are pictures with the new TV and the new chest that it is setting on. I though that I matched the 12 year old stain pretty well. Of course I used the same brand and color. The chest has 4 drawers and the pulls are all bunched together. The top drawer pulls are on the bottom of the drawer front and the bottom drawer pulls are on the top of the drawer front. |

I really like the design as the entire piece complements today's TV/component design. What are the birds up to? -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 6/1/07 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

I've always thought it much harder to rework something existing and have it come out nicely vs. getting to start from scratch. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

Nice job, Leon! The other work stands the test of time very well too. It must have been a shot in the arm hearing back from a customer after 12 years... Bob the Tomato |

Nicely done- I had to carefully re-read your email to figure out what
was new, and what was old.

Thanks Bob, actually this particular customer is a neighbor of 26 years. I have built probably a dozed pieces for him/her. What I do like is getting business from a new customer that has seen my work at anothers customers house, that saw my work at another customers house, that saw my work at another customers house. ;~) I guess that would be considered a referal, by a referal, by a referal. That has happened a couple of times. |

That's really beautiful, Leon. I have a question, though. Is there a
reason why the space above and below the speakers is closed in rather than open for additional storage space? Or are those concealed doors? |

The spaces below and above the speakers are storage drawers. There is a cove cut into the bottom of the top and top of the bottom drawer for access to pull them open. |
