Sylvania Ohio built in Step 2

With the side window seats installed, its now time for the center cabinet. This cabinet is to have a lower storage area, a middle area for the electronics, and an upper shelf that pulls forward to allow access to the back of the tv.  I will be making a door for the lower area later on.

Ive built the cabinet case in my shop, and will trim it out on site...




Now back to the job site. Ive installed the cabinet, and made sure it is level.  Ive wrapped the upper shelf using the 1x4 trim, which gives it a nice bold look.  Ive also face trimmed the rest of the front.  The cabinet sets back into the old fireplace cavity which will be finish off soon.  The whole thing gives this lower area some dimension.

An unusual desk project Part II Sylvania Ohio

Ive made all the new pieces for the desk, and Im doing all of the staining and finishing that I can do up front, in the shop.  Here are the legs, bullnose, and drawer face on the table...


Ive made a dado joint to connect the two legs together...


Here is the drawer box, with a coat of polyurethane...


And here is the desk top extension.  I have attached the transition pieces already, by using biscuit joinery and glue.  It will work well for this application.


Next week is the big week to split the existing desk.  Sometimes I wish I had a magic wand, but this will be a test of my skill.  Keep your fingers crossed!!!
