Hi Marion, thank you for the compliment. I most often build the whole thing. Sometimes by myself.

Hi Ken, Thanks for your kind words and for following this thread.
In designing these pieces I have been involved with several different Media sales and installation companies. Since they are...

It is a shame you never answered, I could have helped you build that piece, but alas, it is too late.

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery:)

Dear woodworkers,
It has been my purpose to share with you some insights into the designing of an entertainment center. There is much more to discuss but the general discussion would turn specific...

With these things considered, the vertical and the depth let us consider some of our possibilities, kinda like chromosomes, xx xy yx yy.I am posting a picture of drawings made with the cursor which...

Jon,
The toe kick is there to protect the furniture from being kicked on a regular basis. Kitchens need them so you can get up closer to the sink and too the upper cabinets that set back 12" and up...

Consider what we have covered thus far. I don't remember , I was just asking you to consider it. We did get to the design of the top, it being either flat or stepped down. It can be symetrical or...

Jimmy,
What do they look like? Are they just three legs and a crossbar for the canvas or are they more specific? Is this any thing resembling it?

Dear Rob,
It has always been my belief that giving of your time and talent is more touching than giving of your money. May the gift and the giver both be blessed.

Mark,
Naturally the rest of the room will help dictate what works best, but for some reason you have thrown in the SS option. IMO if you use the stainless legs you may consider adding some...

The other option to a flat roof line is to drop it left and or right or both. See post # 17 where I step down from center left and right and then again to another level.

In this new photo we...

Flat top also on Post # 12.

And one more. I hope.

Nope, didn't work.

Considering as many options as we can within the boundaries placed on us by the physical measurements of the equipment we want to incorporate into our entertainment center, we can start thinking...

Are you serious about wanting to build this? What tools and experience do you have and why do you want to spend this much time and this much money on this piece?
Shaz

There is no way that piece is 7'5" tall and 6'8" wide.
Those dimensions equal a relative square and in order to obtain that drama in those photos we have to do some photoshop stretch. Be careful...

Gary,
To start you need to determine the scale to which you want to build it. Determine the height and the width and the depth that will work in your space. It looks to be just a big rectangle with...

Gary,
I don't know what you want to achieve with this project and since I did not see the movie have no idea what is inside.
I know how I would start.
Most people need the plans but it is my...

I believe we have alot to thank Marty for.
He started his posting with ideas and plans for a dream shop. He gave thanks to many people here he had gleaned ideas from and he personally thanked...

It looks to be a very lovely piece and one to be pleased with. Happy for you it is installed.

The client wanted a flat screen, components they could access while standing, organization for storing audio visual stuff, some display areas with lighting, scratch lighting at last minute, speakers...

In some instances the entertainment center may be situated in a closet space or designated recessed area therefore affording the opportunity to do a flat front with all the trim and fu fu on the...

Jim,
Your plans look developed. It will all be exciting for you I hope. Good luck.

Good suggestion Chris for hanging pendaflex files. The nice thing about that 1/8"x 1" aluminum bar is it fits in to the slot created by the blade of a table saw, that being 1/8" plus or minus a hair....
