First I must point out I have no woodwoork skills whatsoever... and I hope not to offend any skilled carpenters..
Ive been looking for a bench style solution for the living room to house my pc, av equipment and to hold a42" plasma... Ive not been able to find anything to suit my particular needs.. and have wondered if I could have a go at making one... Also im not able to pay the hundreds of pounds some places are asking for!!
The sort of basic design I like is this, but maybe with a different config of shelving etc...
I quite like he chunky style, but would assume that this is perhaps achieved by a wooden framework overlaid with a hardboard/veneer effect surface?
What would be the best materials & joints to use, as I would not want brackets, scres etc visible...
Im quite keen to have a go, as I could do with having a few of these units around the house....
Any help would be appreciated...[/url]
