Thanks to some tutelage from my comrade at Plasticmarlin.com my site is now powered by Blogger!This is much better than typing my posts in notepad...
On the left you'll see a photo of my first woodworking project. It's an entertainment stand that I designed and built (with a great deal of help from my Father-in-law and my wife... Thank you both!) out of birch furniture-grade plywood. It's 6 feet wide, 2 feet high and 2 feet deep. Right now I'm in the process of puttying and sanding it. Once that's done, I'll apply edging tape and stain it to match the rest of my furniture.
I decided to build my own because I couldn't find a stand for sale anywhere that A.) was actually made out of wood B.) was big enough to hold all of my A/V equipment C.) matched the color of my living room furniture and D.) wasn't ridiculously expensive.
Seriously, a good entertainment stand (that's made out of real wood and comes from an actual furniture store) would've cost more than everything I was going to be setting on it.
Believe me, if you're capable, build your own. You'll save hundreds of dollars.
