I made a floating media cabinet

[@BetaBonny]

Man. I want an home tour.

[@marsgizmo]

Hi Alex, great video! 👌😎 You need to make a ventilation hole on the top. I recommend to move the cabinet 1cm to the right (to make a space towards the left wall), then you cam hide 2 holes there, near to the top. 😉

[@achappel]

Thanks! Jeah I'll look into making some more ventilation :)

[@alsanova]

I was thinking something like that, move away from the corner wall to hide ventilation holes 👍👍

[@ishak1888]

aww man would actually like to see how you cable manage :D

[@achappel]

Next time 😅

[@ishak1888]

@@achappel no problem. great video, teched me once again a new, creative and out of the box way to mount and build things :)

[@muzkur]

I made my Tv Panel with this method and love it. It's easy to take the panel away and manage all the cables behind it

[@chrislamb4723]

Planer blade trick... awesome! This may sound wierd, but as with knock-down furniture (e.g. Ikea) your design having all the plates and screws probably doesnt need glue. Outstanding video! Thank you!

[@achappel]

That would be true, however there's nothing holding the top on. There's other type of fasteners you could use tho if you wanted to assemble it without glue.

[@CptFUBAR]

That tipping camera really made me chuckle

[@jetztneu3635]

Very nice video! Good job! Would be interesting if you have some ideas for an integrated cabelmanagement system.

[@coffeedudeguy]

Fantastic design, and you’ve introduced some cool materials and fixings! Turns out that the PS5 needs a extra stand that bumps it higher by 20-30mm, hopefully there’s enough clearance in the unit for that!

[@persekore]

Man, hearing the litany of "biscuit, biscuit, biscuit, biscuit" makes me grin every time. I have definitely found myself hoping that you'll do a project that calls for joinery without screws, just so I can hear the cheerful little biscuit chant! The fact that I had a hamster named Biscuit when I was a kid might have something to do with it.

[@BigPete7407]

Dude, I love it and I am also a huge fan of biscuits for assembly. Nice work.

[@achappel]

Cool! Thanks for watching :)

[@alanmccall4335]

I really love the valchromat color... I just can’t seem to find big sheets to buy at all where do you usually purchase your supply from? I love your work man keep it up!!

[@Triad3DStudio]

Really nice and simple cabinet, but you should add a cooling fan in there that'll remove the heat. Electronic components don't function very well when they over heating and that's definitely one place where they will.

[@iQuincyboy]

Another awesome job, a pleasure to watch for sure! As for ventilation - you could consider making the top vented either via a grill (3d printed maybe?) with a fine mesh as a filter or via a kumiko panel. Keep up the great work!

[@paulheitkemper1559]

looks nice, but what are you doing for heat management? Small passively cooled electronics seem to run on the bleeding edge of their heat range. I would think that lack of airflow will be be a big problem with longevity.

[@borisneekman2697]

The first video from you that I have seen, you've got yourself a new sub!

[@mostrush4849]

I believe you should fix the cabinet to the wall using some sort of locking mechanism otherwise a weak kick from bottom fly the box and all it's contents! Also I recommend to add a hole and a fan with filter to bottom of the box to suck fresh air to it a closed cabinet for electronics is killer thing.

[@jayuy78]

you're amazing Alex.. your work is great

[@echoswatch]

Hi, great job!!! Amazing!! But please put a fan in the bottom for cooling the PS. I did the same and „a little bit“ hot is a joke! Its hot enough to cooking a egg.

[@riccroft710]

Great job, really like the finish. I appreciate you showing the dry fit up, that is something I've never done, but will in future projects.

[@EJTechandDIY]

You forgot about ventilation for the PS4 there is non in that box.

[@achappel]

Yeah, it gets a little hot... although there's a bit hole for the cables in the bottom.

[@nathanjp9953]

Alexandre Chappel I was actually going to comment the exact same. You either need a fan or you could rout out slots in the top and bottom so the hot air can escape to the top and circulate a little. This would be a must have if you‘re planing to have longer gaming sessions and don’t plan on leaving the door open all the time

[@frankblom8546]

@@achappel Even for the modem there is not enough ventilation. The amp generates heat, the ps4 generates a LOT of heat. Dont think the ps5 would be cooler. You will slowly fry your equipment. (I have done that) Add two vent holes in the Bottom. One with a fan that sucks out hot air from the top through a tube. Love your video's, you make me want to build stuff!

[@toootankhamooon]

Or make a cheese grater door like the apple pro case or top and bottom maybe :)

[@achappel]

Ahmed Shahen haha that would be cool!

[@bacskaicsego8021]

Awesome project as usual but if you have seen the official PS5 disassembly video you should consider to redesign this cabinet. That beast is gonna need a lot of room for the necessary airflow.

[@irenethompson3137]

Whoa! That door hinge device is awesome! I gotta add that to my list of tools to someday get.

[@sharoni3d]

Hi love your videos i wanted to know can you make a video of the process of how you make your design do you use a software or do you have any tips or a process

[@stevejohnson1685]

Alexandre - love your videos and attitude! And I'm envious of the table saw extension you have that allows you to easily cut sheet goods without help. I'm a little concerned about your decision to use MDF for your French cleat system - at 4:08 your MDF is already cracked... Nice job, though.

[@achappel]

Thanks Steve :) it's not actually a extension, it's the table saw itself that is constructed this way ( it's their most common here in Europe) you can even get them with upto 3m long sliding beds. And jeah the mdf was split allready before I cut it, but it will still be plenty strong enough for the weight it's going to hold ;) thanks for watching :)

[@T1nCh0]

What material is the door? I really like it.

[@achappel]

It's caller valcromat ;)

Where is the PS 5 going to get its fresh air from? It looks very nice but some ventilation might be needed.

[@drewx10]

Ok, that was cool! I'm gonna have to start planning a better layout for my TV and the doohickies that I have around it. Thanks!

[@DragonGateDesign]

Awesome, and I doubt ventilation will be a problem

[@achappel]

Thanks :) i hope so ✌️

[@MrGaici]

Nice job, really love it. What I had in my mind is maybe you should make your merch with some other media, then just your initials? Not everybody likes to go around with brand name on the chest - like Adidas for example. Some drawings or sketches could be more appealing. And thanks again for the videos, your are amazing craftsman!

[@FlokrollProjects]

Awesome :D Gj, next project should be a cabin

[@lewiscantplay8639]

so when trying to figure out how to match up the biscuits, is the easiest method just to dry fit the shape together, mark and use the line for aligning boards together after cutting the biscuit holes?

[@BlaBla-rz5rh]

Moin moin Have you thought about how to cool it down? Maybe you can install some ventilator for air circulation to cool the electric.

[@magnuswf]

I love when youre using this black valchromat with oil but how different is this valchromat from "normal" black MDF? In my country this black valchromat is double the price of black mdf, so what is the difference?

[@achappel]

Oh I'm not familiar with black mdf? I mean, valcromat is basically just colored mdf, but it's a bit harder than regular mdf. If the mdf you have is black all the way through I would give it a go :)

[@robertharris8106]

Really enjoyed this build, simple yet elegant design, spot on. I did laugh though when you used an old planer blade for your edge banding....a touch of overkill maybe? A wide chisel does a great job if you don't have a spare planer blade sitting idle 😂

[@alsanova]

That's not PS5, that's a giant wi-fi router 😀 And yep, like everyone said, it need ventilation!

[@Cvoge1972]

Quick question. Do you only glue the biscuits and their slots or do you glue along the boards as well?

I usually glue the boards aswell :)

[@ooooooogzi6452]

[@cho4d]

Drill a grid of small holes in the bottom to create a ventilation path and then suspend a PC fan under it with elastic. The act of suspending it will hopefully dampen any noise and it's all hidden that way. An idea anyway.

[@achappel]

Great idea! :)

[@peta1001]

What is this black panel called (the door piece)?

[@doctorknock4760]

Nice Video! But don't you need any dowels to put the cabinet on the wall? Is this a wood or sheetrock wall? Here in Germany you mostly need dowels to hang something on your walls.

[@RichSobocinski]

Don't you have studs in your walls in Germany?

[@achappel]

This wall is actually plasterboard on top of wood panels, so I can screw into wherever I want :)

[@doctorknock4760]

@@RichSobocinski Depends on the house. But mostly you have solid walls covered with sheetrock. But as these sheetrock panels are only some centimeters thick you need dowels for everything heavier, which is sometimes really annoying.
