Ambition...

I have a big projection TV. Merril gave me an entertainment center a long time ago when we used to have a smaller TV. So now the big TV doesn't go with the entertainment center and sits adjacent to the entertainment center, sort of. I want a new entertainment center, the type that has two bookcases and the TV sits on the floor between them. Reminiscent of this:

So anyhoo, buying a new one is kind of out of the question right now so I'm trying to make mine work. I intend to take it apart and remove the middle section and then paint it black, to match the TV.



Here's the beginnings of the project. I apologize for my nasty phone picture. I couldn't find my camera. (Notice Chuck: The Evil Sandwich-Making Guy on the TV) I'm hoping to have most of it torn apart by tomorrow and marked for cutting. I still need to call a friend and see if I can use her table saw. It'd make things easier than hacking at it with a sawsall. I'm going to need some trim pieces but the rest should be reusable. So yikes!! I just hope it looks decent when I'm done.

Sounds fun. Can't wait to see the finished project.

I think my dad has a table saw (bought it to make the mangers at Christmas) if you need to borrow his.

So - hows it going? Is it too soon to ask? If it were me doing the project then yes, it would be too soon...you though...
