Hi All,
Starting planning for the next project, a low line TV console. We haven't upgraded to an large LCD screen yet, but the old 26" is heavy and been living on an auto trolley for far too long!
Here's the first cut plan. I have a stack of brushbox that's been gathering dust for 10 years and I thought I'd have a go at making it out of that. Apart from anything else it will clear a lot of space in the garage.
The brushbox is rough sawn and around 30-35 mm thick. There are quite a few kinks, checks, cracks and edges in the boards. My plan calls for the frame to be made up mainly from 65x20. Laying out the stuff on the garage floor is making me have a bit of a rethink. There is going to be an awful lot of waste converting the rough sawn to size and I'm beginning to wonder about the weight.
Moving the 2 to 4 metre lengths around the floor has just about given me a hernia! I'm wondering if the made up unit will in fact be too heavy to move!
Anybody got any comments on the weight of a piece this size? I've seen dai sensei's wall unit made from Studley's rejects and really wonder now how he moved it. Also checked out Wongo's thread on his Studley entertainment unit. Looks about the same size in Sydney Blue Gum and he seems to have managed that ok.
