Wall Unit Project #1: Wood Gloat! Weekend Progress

Wood Gloat:

My truck can barely carry this pallet.

124 pieces 23”W X 41”L of A-1 Maple and Red Oak Veneer on 3/4” PBC


From a local furniture company liquidating assets after bankruptcy.

Bargain basement price of $100 for the load.

I picked this up Friday during my lunch hour.


It took an hour and 45 minutes to unload this once i got it home.

Okay, so the first 40 minutes was cleaning a space out in the garage. Still, 1:45 wore me out before dinner.

So, what to do with all that plywood? First up—the Family Room Wall Unit


BEFORE:



Some ratty old bookcases and a yard sale table were just getting by and are ready to be replaced with a nice built in unit.

This was taken Saturday morning almost 10am. Before taking this down, we needed a game plan and a drawing.


DEMOLITION TIME:



My wife got busy moving books off the shelves and we took the cases to another room where they got set up again. Okay, no actual demolition took place—just re-arranged things.



The dog wasn’t quite sure what to make of this disruption to his kingdom. I’m sure he thinks we’re crazy.

Media Cabinet


This is a media cabinet I built to hold our TV. Inside the cabinet, one side houses the harddisk for movies, the WII and games, the other side holds books and misc. stuff. The wood is Iroko – terrible to work with, the dust is awful and you need to wear a mask / have dust collection – but the color is nice in the end and it was not too expensive, the doors are Anigre veneer and the top is Tamo ash, finish is shellac.
