A Marriage of Convenience

So, I might think twice about using it as a tv stand without making it symmetric (are you willing to customize the left end too?). Surely it has other uses just as is. Your work is excellent. You probably discard stuff nicer than what I use, so what do I know.. It is always a privilege to look at your projects! Bill |

In my previous comment I was thinking of it in a living room. I see now that it's a custom fit. Bill |

In my previous comment I was thinking of it in a living room. I see now that it's a custom fit. LOL ... no offense at all, Bill. It is definitely an arranged marriage, but not necessarily "custom" for the spot. Linda and I began discussing something for our lake house up in AR about three years ago. I told her about these two cabinets, in storage at the time, and that there was one particular spot where they would work in the lake house if maybe combined. She was all for it, but it got put on the back burner (any of my stuff is the last to get done and has to be fit in between income generating projects, if you know what I mean). Then a couple of years ago when I finally got around to actually performing matrimony, she saw it and wanted to "try" the results in the master bedroom (an inveterate pack rat, she always welcomes more horizontal space of any kind to put "stuff". Bottom line is, once I got that 200+ pound sucker up the stairs here at home, she will play hell ever getting _me_ to bring it back down for a trip to AR ... where there is indeed a "custom" spot for it. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlC@ (the obvious) |
