Excellent work- very nice.

Nice room and cabinet!! Next - post some pics of your shop for all us fellow woodworkers so we can have shop envy too

I can't believe I missed that!

Very nice cabinet. Did you do the design yourself?

The room is just stunning.

Thanks Fred.
Yes, my design. Although it is fairly simple, so maybe design is too strong a word. Maybe it was more like a concept that I had to have a wide enough cabinet to put a TV on, and be functional with doors/drawers and storage, but also have a 3-D profile so it wouldn't look too uninteresting. It still took me about a day of design time in playing with the dimensions and drawing it up, but then I built it in record time (<20 hours, not including stain/varnish) because I just followed my plans instead of making it up as I went, which occasionally happens

I really wish I could do that.

So, have you tried moving the speakers into the room?

Hmmm. I have no photo of the stationary power tools in the garage...
Aside from cutting the plywood on the table saw and jointing/ripping/planing the solid maple for the doors/trim, I did all the assembly, glue-up, and hand-planing on my workbench which is in the opposite corner of the basement to the TV room.
I built the bench about 3 years ago. It weighs a ton, but maple will do that.

Not yet. Just got back from a trip to Dallas so this weekend will be my opportunity to settle in to the couch and do some assessing.

Nice workbench!
