On August 27 I started buying white oak for an entertainment center that
I build for a customer. In the middle I took a week vacation so this
job took me about 8 weeks.


Approximately 83" wide x 82" tall. And it weighs a ton, well maybe not
quite that much. The towers and center upper cabinet are all one piece
and bolted to the bottom cabinet top through slots made with the Domino.
The slots will allow the solid oak top expand and contract. I used
5/16" x 2" bolts threaded into inserts on the bottoms of each tower.

Old master gel varnish for the finish, 3 separate coats and 3 separate
wipe on's and down's for each coat.

Please take a look and any comments or questions are welcome.

Starting at the top, Double click the pics to enlarge.

I'm curious about the top detail. How many components make up that
profile? My best guess is a layer of 3/4", and a layer of 1/2"
sandwiched together, then a piece of 3/4" mounted perpendicular to the
sandwich for the very top, and a piece of 1/2" X 1" molding in the
corner. Or maybe the topmost piece is molding too, 3/4" square? (or more
likely, I'm entirely off base?)

The basic crown portion, 3 pieces. A base 3/4' x 1-1/2" tall piece that
has a kerf cut along its length and a small cove on its bottom edge.
Then a 1/2" x 5/8" piece with a small cove at the bottom edge, even with
the top of the base piece and another the piece with the same dimension
but with a round over on the bottom edge that sets under the base piece.

These are all attached to 3/4" x 2" pieces that are securely attached to
the separate units.

Here is a pic of the profile from the back side

How did you get the idea for that particular shape?

I just drew it. ;~) Crowns are easy if you make them from built up
layers of wood and just about anything looks good. I actually built the
crown on the cabinets rather than before attaching.



Oh, by the way, a very nice job you've done there. To my untutored eye,
the design manages to look both modern and classic.

Thank you!

Looks nice as is, but be sure to post photos once they get it painted.

Yeah!

Thanks. I have to start designing an office desk for the room directly
behind the cabinet. I'll take pictures when the paint dries. :~)

Thank you

LED ribbon lighting with a remote control on/off/dimmer.

The density is about 1 LED per inch. The ribbon LED strips are located
just behind the front face frame and stuck to the top pointing down.
You can't see the lighting unless you stick your head inside the cabinet
and look up. ;~)

I got the LED materials from Lee Valley.

Thanks, Leon. I like the look and now you have shared the source.

I bet that is a great relief to have the project delivered.
It is always a good feeling........and I have a saying to fit these
occasions.
"seeing the clients home in the rear view mirror"

Very nice piece and well thought out.

Sorry to have taken so to thank you, Thank you.

Yeah, It is indeed a feeling of relief to have all that behind you.

I'm betting that feeling of relief is amplified especially when you've
been paid for the job.

Exactly but it is not behind you until the check is in your pocket. ;~)
