Last week during their Fourth of July vacation My Daughter and her Boyfriend had a request while they were here. A TV stand for their apartment in NYC. Here is the result of the combined efforts of the three of us. ( I also have to give a shout out to her oldest brother for drilling & tapping the custom door pulls).
A trip to the local big box supply store , some custom metal fabrication , and a few bits and pieces from the shop and whala, it almost looks like a kit.
Pops ( that would be me) was pretty much in charge of the wood working end of things while the rest of the team cleaned metal , cut rivets , and assembled parts and pieces.
Here is a groove that will accept the metal bands that we fabricated to wrap the doors and end panels. You can also see the door panel is 1/8" steel.

So in between Story land with the Grand kids,boating,lobster dinners, hikes, a little actual work on my part, cook outs and campfires (with semores of course) It all came together in time to be taken apart and packed into the rental car for it's trip to its permanent home in Manhattan.
