Hi Different,

What Scally said. Beautiful cabinet. Shame to put a TV on it and hide a lot of the timber, it looks great with the view out the window.

Job well done, owners should be impressed.

Scally, also like your version. Thanks for the photos fellas.

Wonder if Pete J has got to make his cabinet yet? Are ya out there Pete?

Cheers,
Pops

I was in the middle of just such a process. We want to move from a bought 1.6m tall x 1.4m wide pine cabinet that holds an old 68cm clunker, and move to a larger flat panel with an 'interesting' cabinet underneath.

My wife thought that having a cabinet that was wall mounted (introduces some interesting engineering issues...) would look nicer, so I whipped up the following design in sketchup.

The requirements were: Wall mounted, room for Amp, DVD, Media PC, front center speaker, as well as photos and ornaments to disguise the whole thing a bit. We do not need to store CDs/DVDs as that's what the media PC is for, and we are using another cabinet elsewhere... It's being mounted on a wall with about 1.4m space between two doors and about 7m away from the viewer so TV height can be a little higher than normal. Oh, i'm planning of making it out of redgum or the like, but weight might become an issue)

I haven't yet solved the engineering issues of hanging such an amount of weight off the wall, but it's a concept to play with...

Cheers,
Dave
