"Dorm Room" Media Cabinet

The son of a friend of ours called me to ask about building a media cabinet for his room out of construction lumber. I told him I had some material laying around from a project that never came to fruition and I would gift it to him. He told me what tools he had on hand . . . so I asked him to send me a line drawing with dimensions of what he wanted. I sent him back a quick Sketch Up.

He was good with it so I had him come over to my place and we ended up here at day's end.

He left a drawer from the current desk he wanted to match. I primed the piece, got some paint matched and ended up here.

The round "feet" are just 1 quart finish cans acting as elevators. They are not part of the piece.

I will let the paint harden a few days per the manufacturer's instructions and then deliver it.

Nicely done, Glenn!

Heck yeah, that’s awesome. I think some LEDs in the open area would be a cool addition.

Oh, I like that idea. Thanks!

Very nice Glenn - there is a certain satisfaction in getting to the end product quickly.

Nice love the door cutouts to open doors.you’re a good friend to have and always great work 👍

Thanks guys. the door "handles" echo the drawer of the commercial desk unit he already has.

He is the son of the people who are part of my "village". Doing for those in our immediate family and beyond is a good thing.

In position.
