Library Install
I promised some pics from my warped corner cabinet thread. I did not get 100%. It's a mess in there right now. Sawdust, wood chips, plaster chunks.....not the way I like seeing it. Once I get things done tomorrow, I'll take lots of detail shots. I have myself a sweet dSLR camera with a 14 mp resolution. This photo is merged from 4 pictures. A gigantic one is here if anyone cares to see it in extreme detail.
That's a wall sub woofer under the desk if you're curious. Oh yeah, the crown is bumped out like that because there's a movie screen that comes down from the ceiling there.

Re: Library Install
NICE!
I like the look of a base cab that stands out and gives the whole unit some depth instead of just a flat wall of cabs. What type of wood? Maple? |

Re: Library Install
Looks like curly/tiger maple to me. Looks like he used a pigmented stain, not my favorite choice for curly woods. Overall, looks nice.

Re: Library Install
I think I drooled a bit over that wall subwoofer idea.
And Jeebus Creebus, you weren't kidding when you said gigantic. ![]() Nice looking stuff. Are those more speakers in the ceiling?

Curly maple, tiger maple, whatever it's called is the material selected.

Re: Library Install
A guy would have a tough time knowing the troubles you had with that corner cabinet by looking at that picture.
I knew my money was safe betting on you. Now pay up suckers, you know who you are. ![]() I should have got Bass to hold the money |

Re: Library Install
Awesome. The crown molding really sets it off.
How long does it take to build something like that? |

Re: Library Install
What's the deal with the finish? The stain looks all effed up. I love the cabinets, but I'd be pretty sore if I got a finish like that on work I was paying for.

Re: Library Install
OK, I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. I was the installer, I was not the cabinet maker. I will give some info about some of the pics as they go along. There's alot. I love my camera!
![]() ![]() ![]() This one I didn't quite get a great cut in this corner. I hate these when they come up. Did the best I could with it. Any suggestions? ![]() ![]() The figure on this is outstanding. He picked a good piece for this part. ![]() First time I've seen these adjustable shelving things. I personally wouldn't like them, they look ugly to me. ![]() Check the middle flute. ![]()

Re: Library Install
Subwoofer with screen installed. The audio/video guy wouldn't paint it, so I went to HD, got some Painters Choice spray paint and voilà! The screen was piece of cake. The trim part was plastic and I had a difficult time with it initially.
![]() And there's the drop down screen. It's about 90" wide, maybe a little under. Way fricken overkill for this little room. ![]() You can see the projector on the ceiling here ![]() Someone got damn lucky with the speaker placement! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Library Install
Here's the screen. Now you can see just what I mean. Wee bit large! Would love it for my own place.
![]() ![]() OK, so I'll explain something here. All of the audio/video equipment is going in here. Obviously...it won't fit. Well...it COULD. So...this is what I did. ![]() ![]() I popped the tenon out. The backside has a gusset to screw back in place. It's not the greatest, but it will work in this case. ![]() ![]() TADA!!!! ![]() This is NOT my handy work. Say all you want about me and using a rig axe, I don't do this.

Re: Library Install
I left the bottom tenon in place. No need to cut this one.
![]() The top I left ever so slight of a stub left of the tenon so it sort of stays. What can I do? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And I thought I'd throw in a little "WTF????" ![]() Can you guess what the hell this is??? There's this mile long private road I drive down to get to this place. There a farmers field there. I see this about every 2 weeks or so. Give up?? ![]() You guessed it! Lobster! Seagulls just love it. Stinks awful. They must shuck it for lobster rolls or something. If it's red, they're cooked. They ain't givin' it away, that's for sure. Fricken' hundreds of lobsters. All over the road. Very weird.

Re: Library Install
The only problem i can see is the fact my eyes would get distracted from the tv to the tiger maple and amazing cabinets.

Re: Library Install
Damn that's a lot of pictures! I share your enthusiasm with the digi-cam, I got mine about a year ago and take pics with it nearly everyday.
I noticed the speakers the first time around and thought the same thing, "that was close". |
