That's some fine woodworking there, Allen. You're a master.
The joints on that new unit are outstanding!!
....... and lets not forget to mention the wiring, wow, top drawer, class all the way, I can really see that you put a lot of thought, time and effort into running the wiring, it has a very organic look to itYeppers, of all the butt joints I've ever seen, that's six of them right there. The finish looks top-notch, too. So natural looking, you almost can't tell it's there.
And nothing says "quality" or "floor protection" louder than a cardboard base.
I had made a nice wooden plate out of mahogany for the hole in the wall where all the wires came out originally. Its not like anyone saw them with the unit blocking it.
Then my son starting running more wires.
Years ago some were for hard wired old fashioned attenna(as backup for tv in event of loss of cable or satellite), then ran more wires so I could have interenet service out in the garage(he gave me an old laptop to use outside), and it continued.
He had 4 dvd players, playstation, and a few other things hooked up.
At 9 pm last night, he called to tell me hes coming over to take the unit.
I looked at all those wires, I have no clue what they all are. He said, dont worry dad, Ill come back in a few days and clean it all up.
Famous last words.
Ill remind tomorrow, were laying a pergo floor in his bedroom. That should be fun.(not)
............Then he hit a problem. The front door hole was too small and needed a bigger hole.
I had the same problem trying to drill a larger hole with my hole saw. I ended up drilling the size hole I wanted in a scrap piece of wood about 3/4" thick and clamping it over the hole to be drilled and then drilled it out. Worked great !!
