Happy Friday! This weekend I’m hoping to make some major progress on our custom media cabinet. Really looking forward to getting back into the workshop. Once this cabinet is done, we’re going to finish off the decor in our sitting room, which is pretty much the entire point of these recent furniture builds. In our […]
Welcome back to our custom media cabinet series! If you’ve been following along, so far we’ve unveiled our concept design and dimensioned the face frames. In today’s post, we’re going to design and dimension the cabinet box portion of the media cabinet. We’re nearly done this drawing and dimensioning phase of the project and I […]
Hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful weekend! Last week we started the design work on our custom media cabinet by constraining our overall dimensions and making a rough drawing of how it should look. Today, we’re going to pickup where we left off and do some detailed design work starting with the face frames. […]

This time around we’re building a custom media cabinet to match. Over the course of the next few weeks, we’re going to show our readers […]

I’m a big fan of paternity leave. It’s nice. The new baby is great! I honestly thought I’d have a little more free time to work on some home projects, but I’ve been swamped with school work and family baby time. No complaints! I did manage to knock a few items off my “to-do” list […]
Sorry if it seems like we’ve been blog slacking lately. Things are busy with baby #2 almost here. I suspect a media blackout for a few days is forthcoming. I’m hoping to sneak an instagram pic or two of our newborn so stay tuned. No promises though. If you haven’t noticed, Lisa and I are […]

Happy Tuesday! Sure beats Happy Monday, am I right? We are just moments away from wrapping up our built-in project. All the cabinet work has been primed and painted, I just need to add a second coat to some areas. I don’t know if I’ve ever shared the basic process I follow when I sand […]
