Pics El Nuevo Yankme Taller (Now En Español!)

[Coqui]

So I decided on another project to build. Last summer I did a Playground for Dominic. This time, I wanted a real entertainment center instead of the TV stand everything was ghetto installed in.

So I got two sheets of MDF

Cut it up into smaller pieces

Wanted to see how it would look when all assembled

From the top

Another angle

Built and attached outer box and cut wire holes

Primed and ready

3 coats later

Voila! Assembled and used!

Yes, if we decide to, we can take the TV off the wall and put it on the entertainment center. Just when we bought the TV, we didn't have space for the stand so we put it on the wall.

what type of joinery did you use?
MDF is such a pain to work with.

Biscuits and gravy....I mean glue. I was going to screw it together, but it was a little to thin, I didn't trust the edges of the MDF to make it.

Red Xs or what?

yeah, red x

 

[Coqui]

yeah, red x

:/ loads up for me, don't know what else to say. Have you tried just the img link itself without trying to view on here?

Does anyone else get red Xs?

you can use screws on mdf, you just have to drill pilot holes for every one of them, plus use coarse threaded sheet rock screws,
The biscuits & glue will hold fine, as long as you dont load it up too heavy or move it around too much.
But it looks good. Good job!

If we do decide to put the TV on the top, I already have a dowel (about 1.5" thick) cut and painted to provide exrta support. As it stands right now, a Wii sensor is the only think on the top part.

Since you have FB, I'm sure you've saw the first project I did.

My Father In law designed the playground and I designed the entertainment center.

You could have just gone to IKEA.

The whole reason I did this was because I didn't want to spend more than $50

They actually have a really cool house with lots of really interesting little features like that. I've always loved their pad.
