Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Boston Cherry Finish - brown?

Nice rack, uh, except for the edges. but im sure your gonna do something with those.. right?

If you are really unsure of the color you want im sure i read somewhere on the axiom site they will send you a sample for 15 bucks or something which is refundable with purchase. When i got mine i was unsure of if i wanted black or go on the wild side for a change and get the cherry. I have seen some really bad vinly veneeres that tried to look like wood so i asked amie if she would send me a sample. Got it in the mail a couple days later and i knew thats the color i wanted. the veneer doesnt really look very fake at all. I think you will be very happy.

Yeah, i've been postpoing getting some wood strips and putting them on the outside. I think they will be black...IF I ever get around to it =)

Yeah its easy to make these racks. if you have the right tools.

Its absolutely essential to make sure all the shelves are cut the same and all the holes line up.
Here is the one i made. mine had 4 legs because i like 4 more then 3. I finished mine with some sikkens wood stain it was a mix of teak and mahogany or something. And then finish off with 2 coats of polyurethane. On the edges i just stained those too. Its birch plywood. But i thought the edges came out kina cool the way its got the lines from the plywood.. The second pic isint very good but it just the pic i found first with a closeup of the rack sides...

Anyone with photos on the mansfield beech finish?

D_R, visit this thread.

heat shrink tubing on the threaded rods might dress it up, and plastic caps on the top nuts too. not being critical, looks great as is.

oh man, heat shrink on the rods would be horrible. it would be impossible to move shelves around, etc without cutting it all off!

I was thinking of putting some acorn nuts on the top instead of those regular ones but theyre like 3 bucks a peice so. scratch that idea!

I'll post pics of my EC when I finish it. (Almost done! Really!)

Don't worry. You'll have your own garage someday.

But then you'll be drooling over the newest drill presses and laser-fitted radial arm saws. Can you imagine having to make the decision between a table saw and some Maggies?

As long as I've got the Axioms, the DeWalt table saw with extended tables wins. Man, those things are nice...
