Modern Farmhouse TV Stand

[@Aikidoman06]

Great book case. When my daughter started nursing school I built her one very similar. As an extra surprise in put a Bluetooth module and speakers under the top and a wireless charger. It was over kill but she loved it. My Dad taught me to build. At the end of every project we built we would sign and date it on the back or bottom. I still do that when I build for family. It’s comforting to move a piece of furniture and see my Dads and my name on it. It’s the connection. Sorry for the long comment but it reminded me of my Dad and I in the shop. Thanks for the reminder

[@731Woodworks]

That's great. Thank you.

[@unlisted5150]

I like the way you keep your language simple and to the point but still come across as likeable and sincere. Thank you for all the videos. You've given me the final push to start doing this myself.

[@unlisted5150]

And by start I mean I've nearly finished building my workshop! Thank you.

[@731Woodworks]

That's great. Thank you

To make breaking down sheet goods easier get a 4x8 sheet of 2 inch foam board insulation. Set your sheet goods on the foam board. Set your saw to just go through your material and you can use the insulation for a long long time. I also use saw horses with 2x4 holders and 2 8 foot 2x4’s to lay the insulation on. Works perfectly with my track saw but your rip cut will do the same thing. Hope this helps. Thank you for the time you put in to the content you provide. Well done!!!

[@731Woodworks]

Good idea. Thanks

[@kenshores9900]

Enjoy your videos. My wife retired our antique kitchen table to her family. So I need to build a trestle table (48 inches table height. Hoping to convince her in having a 4x4 granite top.

[@mountainsagewoodworks4663]

Our 12yr old Toshiba TV just died. Looks like a smart TV and new stand is in our near future. Great video.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you

[@Troy-Echo]

At about 24:00 into the video you mentioned how even that little piece of luan would add a lot of strength to the piece. That is SO VERY TRUE. That backing will add a great deal of rigidity to the piece which will prevent the rocking you quickly end up with when buying the cheap particle board type furniture from big box stores. Those cheaper pieces of furniture have a thin cardboard type backing material which offers no rigidity and strength, thus the pieces start to rock side to side quickly and a short time later the piece starts to fall apart. Even the construction grade lumber used in some woodworking shops will last decades if people come back occasionally and apply a fresh wax coat as you show for protection.

Hey Matt! I've been woodworking throughout my life, but never really got serious about it until now. My wife and I are getting a business started, and have found your videos so INCREDIBLY helpful. We enjoy your videos and appreciate your attention to detail so we don't miss a thing. Will be keeping an eye out for more content and ideas. Thanks for everything.

[@bobjohnston4325]

Great job and it looks awesome. Thanks for the detailed video. I know I will be building one very similar.

[@RalphWBuckner]

Cool TV stand, only one thing I will add. If you rabbit the back so the Luan back panel sits on flush it makes your whole cabinet completely square and strong. Just the way I learned anyway, just FYI

[@lynjermey6423]

I've got the Kregg 3, the handy thing about that one is that if your plans change half way through construction it's easy to use in a tight spot of a partially built piece if furniture. Lovely TV unit.

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks. yes R3 is great

[@timhill9847]

I used the same faux shiplap in my kitchen and bath. Get the look without spending alot of $$$. I like the console directions too. Thanks for sharing

[@731Woodworks]

I bet it looks great! Thank you.

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Lovely. Wife has good taste for design & finish.

[@michaelmadden4301]

I know this an old video, but I noticed you had a problem with the 3/8 round over detail. You could use a 3/8 cove bit to make a mirror image cove on the end grain to match the round over pattern. It works just as good as a matched bit set. Just in case you run into that problem again. BTW, I enjoy watching your channel. God Bless.

[@tennesseemattoutdoors5405]

Beautiful paint there!

[@djbartles7337]

Great project and work as usual. I have noticed that between this project and the DIY TV Stand, the shelf construction is a little different. On this project the horizontal shelves are all solid pieces and the vertical pieces are cut for each shelf. On the DIY TV Stand, the vertical pieces were solid and horizontal shelves were cut. Do you think it makes a lot of structural difference or difference in strength? I really like both projects. Ever thought about doing a barn door style of cabinet/stand like these? Thanks for your content and sharing your talent.

[@brianlandis1591]

great job. When you have a small crack, add some glue and then sand. The dust will mix in with the glue and you will never see the gap. Keep up the great video's

I'm not sure how this would look, but try using a 90 degree V bit on the side panels so it looks like shiplap. Less material used and possibly quicker, or run the side panel on the table saw with the blade up high enough to simulate ship lap. Great project!!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen that used on projects and it looks great.

You said msrp for the coffee bar would be 1-1.25k, what would the tv stand go for around 750 I would guess. Package deal both for 1900. To date all I have done are distressed end tables and the wife wanted the tops epoxy' d after staining. I plan to pour tomorrow and then start the hall tree after my weekend shift. Dog kennel will follow in 2 weeks I hope. These 3 items should give some good pics for marketplace. Also, where is the new shop dog at? Keep up the good work.

Kreg suggests using a sheet of solid foam insulation to cut on and put everything on a flat surface. It can be used over and over again and your cutoff will not crash to the floor. I have had my sheet for a year and it is still going strong Just cut about 1/8 in. deeper than your wood.

I wonder if you had thought (if you mad another one) If you were to extend the sides or bring the back in a couple of inches then a round cut-out cable way could be installed. With a void of a couple of inches the top and side could hide the "ball of cables" we all have behind the TV. I was just looking behind my TV and see all of the different wires have back there, when I build one of these (who knows when) I think I am going to do that.

You should really consider getting a track saw I think it would really integrate into your workflow very well I know there are a ton of money but I recently found that evolution power tools makes a great 7 and 1/4 track saw for $130-140 it comes with a little bitty short piece of track but on Amazon you can also get a track set from a company called powertec that comes with 2 55-in rails and connectors for the $120 range so you can have a complete track saw that can rip at 8 ft sheet of plywood on for 250 bucks I have one and it's wonderful
