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.

The photos show a folding drop-leaf desk I recently made. The client works from home and asked for a desk which could be folded away when not in use. The desk is constructed from MDF with a melamine finish with softwood legs & frame. I have also included the original 3d design/sketch.

Below are a couple of designs for cabinets, the first illustration is for freestanding media unit , the second for a low level fitted wardrobe. The sketches are made with google sketch up, this makes it easy to alter sizes and designs etc to suit clients specifications. And also to add features such as the cabinet hardware. I am a carpenter / joiner & cabinet maker based in Brighton & hove. If you would like a quote for cabinets or fitted furniture please get in touch, my contact details can be found here.
