I decided to take on an oldish style entertainment unit and put my limited knowledge to work. I didn’t take many pics of the project unfortunately C&C welcome. ^-^

nice work, are you going to have a glass insert for the doors at the top? the wedge shape design is different. I would assume its going into a corner?

Yip glass going in the doors. Its a corner unit with a few curved shelves. Put together using dados.
I don’t normally use dadoes… I usually use pocket holes when I can, or I just counter sink screws and let them show (only for my own projects)
any stain or just natural?

Four coats of Danish oil. Was gonna stain it but I decided to try out Danish oil and it worked out pretty good.
natural looks great anyways. I love the look of cherry or a red-ish stain. everyone has their own preference and yours worked well!
Very nice, dadoes are something I haven’t tried out yet with joinery. Like Chewie I try to use pocket screws, just seems easier to me but I’m just a noob. Good job though, keep the projects rolling!

Yeah dados are really not that hard the setting up takes the longest as I was using a router with a 12mm bit, I was making 18mm dados so multiply times I had to postilion the guide.
If I do more of this type of projects I will be investing in a Festool 1400EQ
Looks great!!
That looks really nice, the wedge shape adds a bit of that one off look…..great job!
nice job, did you buy the knotty pine in one piece or did you laminate?

That Festool would be awesome. I’ll probably give dadoes a try sometime, or biscuits too.

That looks awesome man. I like seeing some of the projects guys post on here. Makes me realize I need to get busy on some myself.
