Another TV cabinet emerges from the Flanagan garage!

After my curved tv cabinet I decided to make another variation.

I like that ! Looks really good

Really good looking work, I'd be fascinated to hear some details about how it's constructed - finish on the cabinet looks great and I'd love to try and emulate that. I love the grain running across the doors too. Great looking piece. Full Marks!

Cheers

Love this piece. Would look excellent in many homes of starkly differing styles.

One question, did you use pocket/flipper door slides?

I am currently designing a kitchen for a client who's specified these on a pair of full height larder doors. Interesting bits of kit and perfect for this kind of application.

Few more pic's and details if we can please.

Hi All,

The carcass of the unit is 18mm mdf that was jointed using biscuits. The thick front is a 50mm poplar frame biscuited to the carcass. I then routed a 10mm radius around the front of the frame and down the edges of the carcass.

The edges of the mdf were filled with Morells fine filler. I think this is called Spackle in the US

The unit was then sprayed with Morells water based primer and 65% pigmented laquer

The doors are veneered MDF, but before veneering I biscuit jointed a piece of poplar to each hinge side so that the hinges could be fixed into timber rather than MDF which does not take a screw very well. I also purchased the veneer so that I could do both doors from the same piece so that it flows across the 2 doors continuously

The hinges are concealed hinges like the ones shown below

There are no handles as I used the Blum 'Push to open' mechanisms

The feet were made out of poplar and veneered and attached to the base with dowel pegs and a screw through the base of the carcass into the foot. The hole was then filled with a 2 part filler.

I tried limiting the amount of filler as I found that in my last project the MDF and polar carried on shrinking in the house and the filler became slightly proud of the surface.

I really like that.
The only thing I would change if I were doing it would be to buy two consecutive sheets of veneer, and bookmatch them across the meeting edge of the doors.
Something like this.

I really can't fault your work though.

All the best, and I'm looking forward to the new project.

Adam.

I really like that idea. Might try that on version number 3

Just wish I could maybe find an outlet to sell them from.

Very nice - design and craftsmanship.

i think that look absolutly brilliant, if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost you in materials and how many hours were spent doing it?

surely you could put that on Etsy or Ebay to see if it could sell. Maybe worth trying it on a free listing day.

Thanks. Material costs were probably around £40

I might give ebay a go

That is the canine's testicles - really like v1 and v2.

Surely a trendy furniture outlet would be interested?

Take a look around and suss their prices, then get in there and show them yer stuff.
