Added some much needed hardware to it today. Looks much better IMO and the upgraded handle makes a huge difference. I intend on actually building a table for the big joe eventually too. Until then, this is all I got.

1/4" bit holder I made with some scraps on my CNC. Simple and practical.

anyone here have an interest in reclaiming /re purposing this entertainment center?

solid oak and oak plywood only

It's free to anyone here on the OB

used to hold a 42" tube tv

could easily put a closet rod across inside and hang clothes or use the wood to make something else

FREE

I could put it for free on next door or craigslist and a hundred people would want it now...

I was hoping to help a fellow OB'r that could try to make some sort of project out of it...I hate to see so much good wood go to waste

Know what you mean.

Our kitchen cabinets are maple with raised panels.

Wife wanted glass on a few of them so I had to remove the panels. Wife thought I was crazy to want to keep them but when she wanted a bunch of cutting boards guess what got used.

I have that exact same one.

Those feet on the base are the devil

ETA: which I see you removed. Likely for that reason.

My wife wants me to put it on the curb soon...

I just hate to see it go to waste...If I was into crafts and projects like those in this thread, I'd be doing something with this myself

Made the best of some PVC and an old shirt for a bow stand. Nothing fancy but very handy.

I built this outdoor sink/countertop. Used wood ceramic tile on the bottom and concrete countertop. Wanted a backsplash with a ledge to put items out of the way. LED lights are a hobby of mine, so I had the idea to put LED lights behind the translucent mosaic tile. Basically built a box with plexiglass in front and used a clear adhesive to attach the tile. I have a trap door I can remove easily to change my lights if/when they go out. Also put lights under the countertop.

Looks great - the lights were a very nice extra touch.

Time to dust this off because I've seen some good stuff here over the years.

TV hutch out of some reclaimed doors and lumber. Now, to either get help and get it in the house or list it for sale. In the end, its a project i just wanted to do.
