Free standing Shelf
Other than making toys and doing some turning and the odd bit of carving(well trying to learn carving) I sometimes make the odd bit here and there. My sister sent me an e mail asking if I could make a small free standing shelf to fit on top of another unit so that a free view box could sit under the shelf and the TV can sit on top.
I tried to match the original unit in wood and colour this can be difficult only working from photo's. Anyway this is the end result top is bread board construction and the uprights are fitted to the end boards to help with the cross grain situation.
The unit with my sisters makeshift shelf made with a cheese board and a couple of bits of wood

The shelf I made the colour looks about right in reality The lighting made it look a little more orange than it is

You've done a very fine job on the timber match Derek.... Nice addition and I'm sure your sister was extremely happy with the result. Cheers, crowie

A good match and a clever answer to where to put the box. I guess since TVs are now flat the so called set top box needs a new home.
Regards
John

Nice build and a very good match.
Out of interest were those steel cap slippers in photo 2 ?

Sorry for late reply, Thank you for the great comments
not my feet but my sisters in her dinning room.
Anyway my sister came down this end of the country (which to you guys in Australia is only a small hop) and collected the shelf and now has installed it on the unit colour match was pretty good as all I had to work with was a photo.
