New TV Stand

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

I recently finished building a TV stand out of 1x4s from dismantled shipping pallets and other scrap wood. It's been left as bare wood for now. Might get around to finishing it with clearcoat or tung oil later on.
For the shelves and side panels, I used hand planes to tongue and groove the boards and glued them together. Those glued panels were then assembled using mortise and tenon and dovetail joints and no glue or nails. It's a little rough around the edges, but the joinery worked well enough that it's solid, which was the main thing I wanted to accomplish on this project.
