Almost Finished Master Br. TV Cabinet
 

All that's left on this cabinet is the doors and install the shelf. 4 Roman
Arch doors will be used on this cabinet to go along with the arches in the
bedroom. I'm having someone build them since they can be built cheaper than
I can build them. I should have turned those lights down above the cabinet,
it looks like the cabinet is on fire. BTW these are customer cabinets. And
it's a design I came up with.

BTW These are two seperate cabinets joined together when placed in the
opening. Much to hard to get these monsters up the stairs but would have
built them that way anyway.

It looks good except for the exposed wires. What kind of doors are you
planning? Will remotes work through them?

A shelf will be installed, Roman Arch Doors (4) The cables behind TV can be
brought up to hide them. There is an infrared wire that connects to bottom
of TV, very small and not noticeable, then connects to DVD or Home Theater.
Most new electronics come with this device for that very reason. I also had
to move the cable outlet to get it into the cabinet door area and out of
the exposed shelf location.

Very nice - I like the detail on the face frames.

Did you spray the finish or brush it on? If you don't have an HVLP unit and
are going to be building many more painted units I highly recommend one. I
started out just brushing my painted finishes and the addition of an HVLP
unit was a godsend - both in terms of speed and quality of finish. Then you
can also start using pigmented lacquers as your topcoat - my preferred
"painted" finish.

Again, nice job - thanks for sharing.

Its rolled on except the bead and belly detail. The horizontal pieces are
bead and belly and the vertical are custom cut, cove with a thin kerf saw
cut about 5/8" from edges. Hard to see from picture. Yes I need to invest
in a HVLP. Can you spray latex or is lacquer about it. I'm sure spraying
lacquer is more preferred anyway. What about primers and sealer? I need to
read much more about painted finishes.

You can spray latex but you often need to add something to thin it out. In
general lacquers will provide a much nicer finish anyway and are more
suitable for spraying. There are several lines of waterborne lacquers,
sealers, etc. that allow you get started spraying without an expensive
explosion proof booth. Here is a good place to get started:

Good luck!
