Unfortunately, I can't see pictures of your entertainment center or Roku TV. To update the post, you can reload these photos into the post. Perhaps the photo links have changed over time and stopped working. Either way, I know which TV you're talking about. I'm annoyed by the pile of TV wires that must be pulled through walls or doors to the modem. My doors from https://belldinni.com/interior-doors.html are too nice and new to make an ugly hole with a black wire drill. I have beautiful Scandinavian white wood doors. How can I disfigure that with the black wire that I can't hide? Do you have any ideas on how we can hide these ugly wires?

You seriously responded to that?

I agree on the store bought stuff. Tired of paying a bunch of money for cheap built crap. Just need to set myself up a woodshop.....

It looks very cool, especially for those who like minimalism. It's cool that you can do the furniture yourself. No need to go somewhere and spend extra money for the service. By the way, here`s similar furniture, only that`s more suitable for the garden, www.gardenfurniture.co.uk some mates advised this store. They have a very similar laconic design as your looming box and shelves. And some elements may well fit into the living room, especially if you still like minimalism more than pretentiousness and piling up unnecessary decorative elements.

Well done D, very 60's looking, proof positive that a Craftsman such as yourself can work in just about any medium, just by putting your mind to it. I think the real trick these days is finding dry wood that is straight and will stay that way. BTW you kinda told on yourself when you said "pin" and not "dowel"

Awesome workmanship. How is the KW project coming?

Speaking to an old friend that moved to UK several decades ago, found he cannot even change a light fixture in his home there or a door knob or striker as those are Skilled Craft required jobs with some requiring permits to perform.  Very Sad as stated can buy Hand Tools but nothing Powered by electric including a drill or gasoline besides a mower.

You're doing very well. I think you could sell your work to a local store or to other people. Not all things from the store can be of good quality. My friend bought a sofa in a local store and two years later, it changed in appearance and it was no longer so comfortable to sit on it. I was afraid that I could buy furniture of poor quality too. I started searching online for stores with good quality and inexpensive prices. Also, one of my friends sent me a website https://www.abakusdirect.co.uk/sofas/by-type/corner-sofas.html where he bought a sofa of good quality.

You have a talent! I couldn't have done it myself

But with all of the money you saved building it yourself, you should get the 80". Tell your wife that it is a 65. Chances are, she'll never measure it.

Yep thrifty and save are not in their vocabulary.

Great job!
