So you may remember the fireplace project from a few years ago.
Well, I finally got started on doing something about the hole in the wall where the old fireplace was.
Here's what the 'general' plan is.
First, it's just going to be a very basic built in cabinent made out of cherry. The alcove will be paneled with 1/4" cherry ply.
There are a few twists though, in that I'll be making sure that the entertainment center is ventilated using filtered air, to make sure that the components stay cool and clean. That's a requirement from Sharon.
All electronics will be hidden behind the doors. I'll be using an RF based remote that uses IR blasters to communicate with the electronics components.
There will also be a pull out rackmount shelf for housing the components to make it easy to get at the wiring that goes behind them.
I'm already well down the path on this project. The paneling is up, the cabinet is well underway, and the pull out shelf mechanism is designed and built. More posts and pics to follow.
