this is an old project from about 20 years ago that i made for my neighbor. at the time he wanted this i was busy and didn't want to do it. he's a stubborn old guy and didn't take no for an answer. i was out mowing my lawn and he comes out and sticks 400 bucks in my hand and says, heres some incentive 🤣so he got his cabinet. i was at his house for his 92nd birthday last night and took these pic's. cabinet is walnut ply and solid walnut. ball bearing drawer glides. finish is maloof oil. questions ill answer if i can remember !
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
thanks guys. he just gave me the size he wanted and let me do what i wanted. at first he had one of those big rear projection tv's on it. the back side of the upper shelf is fully open but as you can see no sagging. the top is solid walnut.

I can see that you made it for older TV's due to the extra depth, but that big screen looks right at home. I made a build in for all sorts of stuff, but the center was 24" deep to hold a heavy 33" CRT. Little did I realize that the 33" would crap out about 1 year after finishing it and the LCDs were down from exotic prices to consumer level. Fortunately I made the inset shelf unit adjustable so it didn't look awkward with the change to HD format.
Very nice work here Pottz, great design and a beautiful build. It is obvious your neighbor really likes this cabinet, very well cared for after 20 years. Sweet.
