    inspired by Metalman, I decided to start this thread for the wood butchers among us.....any woodworker is invited to show their work on this thread...

    I made this contemporary dog beg for a morbidly obese lab... he is a champ.

    That's cool.

    My wife got our cat a beanbag chair since she is over 20 years old and she loves it.

    today we installed a set of walnut and glass entry doors that we built.....

    006-1.jpg

    they look better from the other side, where we covered the space with Sapele and walnut. this is a 10' x 10' vestibule where the elevator opens to the residence. i couldn't get far enough away to take a good pic...

    Kenmore 14.8 cu ft chest freezer into THIS!!! It can hold 8 5-gallon kegs of my homebrew beer/cider. Full Co2 set-up can have 5 refreshments on tap at any time! Somehow I managed to talk the wife into allowing me to place it in our living room!:cornut::cornut::cornut:

    Wanted to add that the lights are 24ft of RGB high output LEDs that can change to any color/fade through colors or jump colors at the touch of a remote!

    Very nice. Do they use that kitchen or is just a show piece?

    Speaker stands. Walnut. There's space along the back of the pillar for a cable run, not yet installed...thinking of using velcro rather than something rigid. Finished in three parts, top, pillar and base, then assembled using threaded rod so they can be filled with sand or shot to deaden acoustically.

    Nice looking stands there Steve.

    Going to use spikes or dots under the speakers to isolate them from the stand?

    To revive an almost forgotten thread, something very simple and basic, my latest addition to my home theater project that I've been working on over the past 9 months, a new A/V component shelf, was just using an old granite piece that we had around but over the last couple of weeks I've added some of my additional amplification, so I've run out of space, therefore, new cabinet. (Would like to eventually change over to a rack type system, but right now I don't have a place for it that will give me access to connections in the rear and it will require a complete room rewire, which is a major job with my speaker layout.)
    Old Shelf setup:

    A sheet of 3/4" MDF, a couple of hours, and a little paint later, new shelf:

    Everything still fits under the screen and I have room to sit the remaining two amps on top of the others.
