TV Rack

[Armand]

This is my all-pockethole-joineries entertainment project that took me 4 months to finish. The project was interrupted several times by in-between projects, typhoon Juan, work, family and so on. I used ordinary lumber and marine plywoods, finished with walnut woodstain, sanding sealer, and poly varnish. The top was "faux-painted" with maple stain as the first coat followed by walnut as faux-paint. It turned out that the finished product was too large for a 32" LCD...a solution in mind for this problem is to probably change the LCD size that will compensate for the size of the project. I lost some of the important WIPs when i upgraded my celphone (celphone camera lang gamit ko).

All the 3/4" plywoods were also attached to the frames by pockethole joineries.

sayang nawala yung pics ng wips.

I have a kreg jig and i am ashamed to say that i havent really made anything substantial with it yet. And then here comes you with your shopmade pocket hole and you made that :) Nice

What screws did you use?

hi armand! very nice project. ang galing, di ba i have the other half of your shopmade jig(armand's pocket hole jig), but i'm amaze of your work, bakit kailangan pa nga ng kreg jig kung baga...hanga talaga ako sa'yo, i admire those people...unfortunately, diko pa nagagamit yung shopmade jig mo(focus pa kasi ako sa some projects eh), don't you worry, ma try ko rin sya someday, some sort of remembrance sakin yun eh, baka masira ko lang sa maling paggamit, hehehe. sayang yung some pics mo...anyway, your work is gorgeous,yun nga lang, hindi sya proportion sa size ng tv mo, 50" tv na ipalit mo, hahaha! HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO!!!

Elegant & multi-functional looking piece of furniture. Use of pocket joinery is quite a challenge. Galing!:)

I also made a TV rack out of solid giant ipil-ipil tree that ondoy fell down. I gave it to my neighbor who owned the tree. Simple design though.

@beebeenator: here's additional WIP picture i found in my pc, I used ordinary screws from hardware 11/2" half threaded, di ko lang kabisado kung anong number yung screw. 1 inch naman para sa plywood half threaded din.
