How to Build a TV Lift Cabinet

[@HomeandShopTV]

The best part was towards the end when you showed the room renovation, the cabinet making and then the beautiful painting. It's that triple combination that makes you unique from all of the other KZbinrs. Awesome job brother, don't ever change!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Home and Shop TV thanks man! I really appreciate it

[@CiceroMonteiro]

I build stuff from your simple plans for a while and never had a problem (not a pro here). It's nice to see a very detailed set of plans from you but keep in mind your videos are the reason why it's so simple to follow your hand drawn plans, so keep up the good work John and thanks for sharing knowledge with the community!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Cicero Monteiro will do, thanks for the comment

[@JohnyLatelyCome]

I really appreciate the fact that when you pull out a less than common tool such as that self centering bit, you take the time to not only explain what it does but you provide it proper name making it easier for anyone interested to go our and pick one up. Little things like that really make for great how-to video. I really enjoy them. On a side not. This channel reminds me a lot "Old Yankee Workshop" with Norm Abrams. A lot of style similarities.

[@jdmznet]

Hey Jon, don't be too hard on your plans. They contain the essential information for the project (especially in concert with your videos) and I imagine they take a lot less time to prepare and publish. I like both kinds of plans. :-)

[@TheCMLion]

As always, you make it look so easy. The room is really lovely. You've inspired me to start work on my guest room, which is fine, but could be much more inviting. I love the winter painting, too.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+TheCMLion fantastic, Thank you! Good luck with the project

[@mattjames8683]

Wow that turned out beautiful! However, I am most impressed with that winter painting you painted! You are very talented!!

[@AlexKunstar]

Wow that turned out amazing! I'm a big fan of mounting my TVs on walls with swiveling and articulating mounts. This seriously makes me want to build one for the bedroom and watch it go up and down.

[@davecurda2350]

Jon this is why I subscribed to your channel I love the furniture videos . Please make more of them

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Dave Curda thanks David! I have a few coming up

[@patrickdunn8918]

I had to come back and watch it again, I love this one so much. I’m realizing I paid so much attention to the build, that I spelled your name wrong …thank you Jon! Fact is I’m new to this, and I’ve watched at least dozens of cabinet build vids, and have learned that there are many different approaches. I set up my small wood shop during this pandemic, and have enjoyed learning from many KZbin guys like you. I have built lots of small things and made lots of mistakes, but I’m getting ready to build my first cabinet. This build is my favorite cabinet of them all.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Patrick! That’s really great to hear. Have a great day, Jon

[@diycentral]

Project looks great. Like how the room is coming together. Painting really works with the overall look.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+diycentral thanks!

[@ryanhickey6812]

This was awesome to watch. I’d love to get into furniture building but I never can decide what to use. The birch plywood with the beautiful trim looks fantastic!

[@sarladaga8215]

Very accurate workmanship.

[@gplusgplus2286]

Very nice. Only 2 things; I would have made the top flush to the cabinet because it looks strange when open and would have painted/veneered the back as well for the same reason.

[@katherinecarroll3706]

I like your plans. Simple, easy to follow. Very straight forward.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Katherine Carroll Thanks!

[@vacaphobia]

If I make one I will paint the underside of the lid top black. Well done 👍.

[@gmor46]

It never gets old watching you creating stuff..... great work!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Gianluca Moretti thanks!

[@madridmorenita5648]

This is the best demonstration

[@patrickdunn8918]

I kept going back to take in some of the details. I love this design, but I especially loved the approach, and sequence of building the cabinet .You really made this look easy, and I know it’s really not that easy for us civilians lol. Thank you John!

[@paulastafford1234]

Love these TV lifts.

[@BMOORE344]

Once again fantastic attention to detail.

[@greggorygannon351]

Thanks for your work Jon. I'm a retired contractor/woodworker and am designing a lift cabinet for a 49" drag. TV going into a Touchstone Slim-lift. Due to a space consideration I need to make the TV cabinet depth as compact as possible, front to back. I have typical cable and DVD boxes that measure no more than 9" and will be able to IR remote them, if necessary, to make the cabinet even more shallow than that. Can you advise me on what you believe to be the minimal depth, front to back as I stated? Thanks and keep up the good work, Gannon

[@PranaReflexology]

BEAUTIFUL! Fantastic job.

[@kreparAZ]

Yes definitely do plans! You make beautiful things that would be a fun challenge to make! Some are even very simple with your techniques and tools you use. Great video. Always great content👍🏼

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Michael Lippert Thanks Michael

[@motzemog]

Your trim work is impeccable.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Michael Gomez Thanks Michael

[@thcyazzie9844]

That is bad ass. Very beautiful. Nice work. Thank you.

[@gsh319]

That was outstanding.. I can hardly find the time to complete all the projects I'd like to do with my 140 year old home. I have a sandstone fireplace on a 16 foot cathedral end wall that I'd love an idea on how to finish with cabinets. The fireplace is just under 10 foot wide and 9 tall. I've been wrestling with ideas for a while but as of yet??? Thanks for all your great work .

[@junity1]

One of the best if not the best !

[@stephanie-yu4ng]

This is the first time seeing you work. I am really impressed. I love the idea of the drop down tv. I am going to build a new dresser for my bedroom and I am definitely going to add a whisper lift into the inside of the dresser with 8 drawers in the front a false back for a extra space for the lift.but what impressed me the most was the simplicity of your plans and build. It would put IKEA to shame.

[@AlexDavis-ch1ro]

Great project! And so many applications!

[@victorvillalpando703]

Jon Peters Art & Home Buena explicacion MI siguiente proyecto

[@zidek50]

Love your style Jon, clean and warm are the two words that come to mind. And not easy to pull that off.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+zidek50 Thank you

[@marksullivan8907]

Very nice! Let's see some more views of that room you created!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Mark Sullivan thanks will do, still need to make one or two more pieces for the room.

[@janmajitshankar447]

As usual, super clean and beautiful TV Lift Cabinet Jon. If I remember correctly, a year ago you built a similar Cabinet as well, that was beautiful too. :)

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Janmajit Shankar thank you

[@luisg.crespo3939]

Hey Jon. I always wanted to build something. Thanks to this video I managed to do my first cabinet. Had to do a few changes to make it work for me. Really enjoyed the learning process and to see the final product take life. Thanks a lot!

[@RB216220]

Job well done, looks very nice. Those plans look awesome too, plans always make a project much easier. Good detailed plans like that take all the guess work out

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+RB216220 Thanks, appreciate it!

[@woodworks2123]

Fairly simple construction but excellent outcome as usual Jon

[@bertanatorful]

I just keep learning so much from you! You are a true Craftsman and I really appreciate you're detailed work and narration of the build. WOW such amazing craftsmanship! Thanks JP!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Looks awesome Jon! ... I used MDF for the rails and stiles on that trash/recycling center I made...... The TV lift cabinet is definitely something I'd like to make once I finally (eventually) setup a dedicated shop space in my basement.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Fred McIntyre thanks Fred, fun project and always cool to see th tv pop out.

[@m3rdpwr]

A true Craftsman.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@catwhite3]

New to your channel. This is the most beautiful piece of furniture that I have seen made. Amazing work!

[@scottydvintagevideos]

Jon, thanks for taking the time to create a great installation video. My question is what size TV did you use for your plans? It looks like a 40" model. I'm going to install a 65" on the Touchstone Whisper II 23202 or 23401 Pro version and build a cabinet using your plans, but I'll need to modify them to get the correct measurements because I don't want to make any mistakes cutting the 8'x4' plywood too short since each sheet is insanely expensive these days.

[@scottydvintagevideos]

Btw, it's impossible to find 3/8" x 8' quarter round at any hardware store. The longest I found was 48". Looks like I'll be using 1/2" x 8' quarter round especially since my cabinet is 62 3/4" wide, 42" tall and 25 1/2" deep.

[@eriksprague4804]

@scottyd: I have to make the same modifications, as my TV is 57” wide. Do you happen to have the measurements you used to modify this plan? I was thinking about adding 12” to the width but I know I’ll screw something up somewhere. It would be a lot easier to learn from your mistakes lol. Can you help a brutha out?

[@markk3504]

Looks GREAT Jon. However, I think an added storage section below to hold a sound bar, cable box and perhaps DVR would make a nice addition. Wouldn't take away from the design, but if I want this in a living room there are some other goodies these days needed to make it more functional. One more project to add to my ever expanding "list."

[@richardwilliams2004]

Stunning jon hopefully when I get a shed big enough il definitely have a go at this one

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Richard Williams Cool! Thanks Richard

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Awesome craftsmanship Jon

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+dfw crown Thanks!

[@mattnunley4731]

Ugh...I downloaded the plans...cut everything based on your cut list, you have AG (rear trim) as 30 1/2, so I cut it that way. I put it together and now the rear panel trim doesn’t match. On the cut list AG IS 30 1/2 and on the build plans it’s 30 1/4. Now I’m off a 1/4 inch. You should update the plans so no one else has the same problem...

[@saranotsarah7295]

It’s beautiful! I want one and I have been looking around online for it. It’s very expensive though. I was thinking hmmm maybe I can build one by myself. After I watched your video, I don’t think I am that brave. Lol

[@nklomphaar3996]

I was just watching the old version. Gona try it!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Excellent video. As always, precise and straight forward. A beautiful piece. As for the lift, rather spend my thousand dollars on a new tv rather than a lift.

[@donald1425]

What an incredible piece of work! I really want an end of the bed TV lift. I don't have all the equipment though - nor the talent. If only there was a basic DIY kit to buy. I just need a basic cabinet - nothing quite so fancy, just a basic box that I could stain.

[@pairadocs2000]

Love your video and stunning woodwork. Thank you for making this vid. I was hoping to GO BIG, buying a bigger TV, a 55 inch (dimensions are 55'' wide x 31'' tall). I know i need to increase the width of your plans, but i'm curious what is the vertical clearance inside your cabinet? Maybe it be easier for me to ask you how tall and wide was the TV you installed. Thank you again. RJF

[@cpdrj]

Thank you for sharing .. What an incredible piece of work! Always learning with your chanell ! ! ! !

[@lastrick08]

Two questions: (1) what is making the top move away as the TV lifts? (2) Does the top automatically close again as the TV descends? Or is this a manual thing? I built mine with the top attached but now want to make it hinged. Thanks! Beautiful work.
