June 25, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_114389 My wife asked me to make a new entertainment center that would fit our living area better than the existing one. OK. I used the project panels sold at Lowe's. They are Lodgepole pine and easy to work with. Rustoleum KONA stain made the finished project match the other items I have built in the living area including a toy box, coffee table, VHS tape storage cabinet, and a Amish style secretary. When it came time to build a drawer for DVD storage, I used my new CNC to cut out the parts. That was just tooo dang snazzy! The front and rear pieces needed to be 21 15/16's inches wide...and that is what the resulting pieces were. After assembly, the drawer was a perfect fit. She's happy. I'm happy. We are just too dang happy! Drawer Parts.bmp Edited December 5, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added Report

See you still have a working VHS player Yes sir. It is a combo DVD/VHS player we bought several years ago. The grand kids like to watch movies when they come over. I have it set up on another TV...in another room. :-) Report

Whew...glad you joined TPW...now I'm not the only one with a working VHS/DVD combo and dozens of VHS tapes BTW, Nice looking entertainment center and awesome drawer addition. Since your wife is happy, you can justify to SWMBO the CNC purchase. Thanks for sharing. Report

June 25, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_114411 I'll have to look into that color. Hawaiian version of "espresso?" Lowe's must be getting gun shy from idiots and their lawyers, the quart can has stated several times rust-oleum kona interior stain (actual net contents: 32-fl oz) i Report

June 27, 20179 yr comment_114538 Good job as usual ,Mike, I bet there are a few pocket screws in there too. Looks like you used BB plywood for the drawer boxes, what did you use for the back panel? Herb Edited June 27, 20179 yr by Dadio Report

Herb The back panel is another face frame with a piece of 1/4inch birch inset from the inside so the cabinet looks finished from the back side. I stained the inside pieces before assembly. That made it a lot easier and less mess on me! Edited June 27, 20179 yr by MT Stringer Report
