With a little planning, a sneaky visit to Mitre 10 on the way home, some elbow grease and beer, I now have a cabinet which looks alarmingly like the CAD renders!
With a few of my treasures in place and the home theatre head unit hiding nicely in the bottom it is looking like the business. The finishing touch will be the glass top and some lighting.
Since I posted the concept drawing for this cabinet I have had a couple of very kind offers of glass for the top, unfortunately the cabinet is much bigger than it looks, so I’ll be pricing a 1200x410mm piece of glass in the near future 😉
