    In-wall Stereo Cabinet

    I built for a client a few months back but forgot to take pics. Stopped by last week and here is a shot. It is made from Oak painted gloss black. Glass shelves and a light to add a little accent. The clients 1.2 basement is behind the cabinet, so I built a rear access door and it has built in wire management, exhaust fan and power. Eventually, he wants a DVD storage unit built along side it.

    Oh, and the turn table slides out for easy access.

    Very nice cabinet and installation. (My turntable is still in a box from moving here...4 1/2 years ago!)

    Very nice work. I like building stereo cabinets and entertainment centers. I am finally able to start the finish work on my Red Oak entertainment "wall". I should have pics up by the end of this week.

    I don't want to hijack this thread, but I love having a turntable, we collect albums and although we have CD's and music DVD's, we have the most fun listening to the vinyl.

    I have built several slide out shelves for other people's turntables, BTW and everyone loves them. I like your use of glass shelves, too.!

    Actually vinyl is starting to make a comeback, at least I have seen more adds for turntables in many years.

    Scott,

    I really like the style of the cabinet. And after fighting with wiring too many times, I'm sure your client will want to kiss you for the rear access door!

    He just pays people to come figure it out, he has one heck of a system and really doesn't know much about making it work. The rear access is the only way to build these things. I've seen at least 2 built-in's on new model homes that have no access, when the components get in it is just too dang tight to do anything.

    Nice cabinet. Truly looks built in.

    I like vinyl as well. We have over 300 albums most of which have been played maybe 4 time each! "In the old days" I used to record them to reel-to-reel and put them away. Now my turntable sits next to my computer and I rip them to MP3s. Time consuming, but fun.
    If sawdust were gold, I'd be rich!
