Install Horizontal Supports and Recessed Boxes
At 3:41 in
Building My Dream Bedroom Media Center
What happens here
Once the vertical studs are in place, horizontal 2x8 pieces are installed to create the top and bottom boundaries of the TV recess. These are secured using pocket screws. Additional horizontal pieces are added to define the bottom of the fireplace opening, and smaller vertical pieces are installed to create the side supports for the fireplace and to frame out the cubbies or shelving sections above and below the TV. This forms the complete skeletal structure of the media console.
Goal: Add horizontal 2x8 supports to form the top and bottom of the TV recess, and additional horizontal and vertical pieces to frame the fireplace opening. Ensure all pieces are securely fastened.
