completed TV console w/lift - pics

[John Schreiber]

Very impressive. I too would love to see how it works.

[Don Abele]

That is absolutely beautiful and I love the idea.

I have a plasma over my fireplace and one in my bedroom. This design would be great for the one in the bedroom, but...

I have wanted to build one but the cost of the lift has held me back.

I looked it up on their website - the lift alone is $1273.50!!!

Think I'll keep the plasma on top of the dresser.

Be well,

Doc


P.S. - Just how do you watch that from the couch???

[James Biddle]

It's a bit misleading from the pics, but the TV is viewed from another couch and two chairs. Plus, the room opens to a large kitchen/dinette area. The couch in front of the TV is intended for entertaining without the TV on.

BTW, the prices on the G & G website are retail. With a business ID, you can get a better deal.

Here's the finish:

The wood is maple. It has 1 coat of Watco Dark Walnut Danish oil, 2 coats of Target Coatings EM8800 sealer, enough coats of Target Coatings gloss USL lacquer tinted with Transtint Dark Mission Brown to achieve the desired color, and 2 coats of clear Target Coatings semi-gloss for an outer barrier and sheen control.

Is that a couch or a pillow rack anyway it sure does a great job of hiding that awesome piece of furniture you built. I want one!

James,
Beautiful piece... for what the lift costs, I can pay someone to sit inside the cabinet and lift the TV up.

[David Cramer]

Nice work James. That is a downright impressive piece of furniture. Great details and a superb finish. Thanks a lot for sharing it with the masses.

p.s. Was that built for one of those rich folk in Ann Arbor? Just funnin' ya! It's none of my business, it's just that I had friends and relatives that went to U of M years ago and there were some "big bucks" in that area. Take care!

All the designs are too good. Especially the first one. It gives a prefect look to a room.

Plasma TV Lift

Excellent work!! And it looks like you nailed the color for the rest of the pieces in the room.

Any build pics??

[Russ Boyd]

I always wanted to build one of those. VERY nice looking cabinet. Great job. Russ
