How to Build an entertainment station

hey guys alex is looking here from mr. bill that welcome to my house this is our living room where we watch TV so let me show you how we took this empty room and turn it into that so that wasting time let's get into the video the overall build of this project is relatively simple though it looks big and intimidating the skills that are required for it are pretty small the the joiner is taking place is really nothing more than a bud joint and everything is held together with pocket screws now about the fanciest things that we get on here is gonna be the tongue and groove like for the doors but don't be intimidated by that process we'll show you how to get it done simply [Music] [Applause] now the overall build of the cabin is very simple we went with three-quarter inch a maple apply for the outside carcass of the cabinet joined together with pocket holes in wood glue the doors are made of a couple of different materials the outside rail and style are made out of a poplar it's 3/4 inches in diameter as well and the center panel is a maple 1/2 inch ply that sits in a tongue and groove like fashion all the way around [Music] [Applause] now the drawer faces are put together in a similar fashion as the cabinet doors the only difference is for the drawer everything is butted inside through a budge on and then glued and then just for aesthetics reasons I put the Domino's going all the way through so almost looks a bit for lieutenant I think it looks really cool now when it comes to finishing your project I like to sand everything down with 220 grit I used this Diablo sand net disc my favorite part about it is if you don't have a fancy sanding system that has a vacuum attachment to it this is a fantastic tool because you see the amount of netting that is in here the amount of sawdust that is trapped and sucked in through your sander is impressive it is super flexible so when it comes to doing small little nooks and crannies you can fold this thing up and fashion into anything that you want it to be and then my favorite part is when you finally get to the point where your sand that is clogged simply take an air compressor and just blow it out that easy now when it comes to securing the top shelving to the base of the cabinet and to the wall I just use simple L brackets that are driven into the studs of the wall in our connected and more hidden spots to the shelving itself preventing it from falling over [Music] [Applause] alright guys well that's it from me this week I really hope you enjoy this video and if you did go ahead and hit me with a thumbs up make sure you hit that subscribe button a video comes out every single Friday and I don't want you to miss anything a big thank you to diabolo tools for sponsoring this project the San net is awesome be sure to pick up your set at your local Home Depot or any other supplier signing off this week we'll see you guys next Friday see ya
