Work in progress: TV & media cabinet.

My next project is a large oak television & AV cabinet. The client has recently bought a 40 inch flat screen television and wanted to be able to hide it away when not in use. The cabinet design illustrated here comprises two oak cabinets, the top one for the TV and a lower unit to house the video, dvd and Hi-Fi equipment. When open, each of the doors can slide back into the cabinet so as to allow a better view of the screen, which can be brought forward on a sliding drawer-tray. The photographs below show the project at various stages through its design and construction.

Fitted wardrobes in beech

This project was to build and fit a large beech veneered wardrobe, pictured below. This four door wardrobe comprises 2 cabinets, one fitted with shelves, the other with 2 hanging rails.

As the wardrobe was for a third floor bedroom I made it in several smaller pieces and put it all together once it was in the room.
