Size DOES Matter!! | Building a HUGE Media Console
How to Build a HUGE Media Console with Decorative Metal Panels // Entertainment Center ...In this video I build one of my largest pieces of custom furniture to date...a 9-½ foot media console with decorative metal panel doors. Media cabinet seems to be the more modern and hip term for an entertainment center, but I'm pretty sure they serve the same function. This was a monster piece that I built in several sections to keep it modular for painting and transportation purposes. It took a lot of thinking and head scratching to make it all possible, but I think the end result looks great and luckily it fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle and not a Rubik's Cube. Let me know what you think!!

Hey Keith , usualy i say nothing about security stuff but , here i had to 🥶 If you want to start your dado at a line , you ABSOLUTELY need to to have the back of the peace ( neer you) be on the table saw and the rest like you said slowly and bingo !! Why this way you say ??? Because of the saw direction , going towards you . If you want to keep your fingers that’s the way to do it 👍🏼👏. I just love to watch your vids , cats and your jokes 😜👍🏼❤️🇨🇦

Keith, your work is always meticulous and almost as sharp as your wit. Watching this one in particular got me thinking of pricing and how a piece of painted furniture like this seems deceptively cheap to build/have custom made, but the level of craft involved (and pure cost of materials) merits a pricetag higher than most would expect. Not to talk inside baseball, but I'd be interested to watch a video or two about how you make a custom woodworking business work financially, given all the factors at play.
@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking

Thanks so much! Admittedly, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to make a one-off custom piece like this work financially and foresee all the potential problems that will be encountered. It all looks so straightforward from the initial drawing 😂. Bottom line, some are winners and some are losers, but hopefully lessons learned save you on future builds. I do have a video coming out showing why I don’t build end grain cutting boards because of the insane amount of labor involved.

Hard maple is preferred because it is hard...much more durable than Poplar. It is also a very close grained wood, so it takes paint better. And the carbide probably got nicked before the storage upgrade when my bits were just rolling around in my drawer 😬😂
Dude - some many thoughts about this video! First, overall design isn't my cup of tea - but thats fine, doesn't need to be. Second, the different techniques you used throughout were so clutch, several different ideas that I wouldn't have thought of (shaker construction for one!).

Really well done, Keith. I enjoyed hearing about the design challenges and material choice on this build. Help me out here; are my eyes are deceiving me, or is the HDF plywood that you used thicker than ¾ inch? The darker MDF face sandwiching the lighter veneer wood core is giving off some sort of optical illusion. In one frame I’m sure it is ¾-inch, the next frame it appears 1-inch thick. So, what was the thickness of that HDF ply?

Thanks Andreas!! HDF is only 3/4", so must be an optical illusion. 👍

Quick question…any resources (articles, videos, etc.) on the L-fence that you would recommend?

Hi Keith, I am trying to build a TV stand out of 3 30" wall cabinets, with only 2 legs on either end. I see that your initial design (sketch up rendering) had the same design i am trying to achieve. what was your reasoning for attaching the 2 legs under the middle portion of that furniture piece? I will be supporting the under side of the cabinets with .5" to .75" plywood, along with the same size on the top and sides. I will also be needing to support a 75" tv. Hoping to get your input! thank!

This cabinet is extremely heavy and without support in the middle, it will most likely sag at some point. The smallest bit of sag on this piece will also throw off all the door reveals.
Awsome keith

Gorgeous piece. I’m curious about the levelers and why you didn’t insert them into the bottom of the feet? Is it just your preference in style? I’m 50/50 and really just curious.

I've done it both ways. Clients pay a certain price point and this wasn't worth the extra labor.
Looking good as usual, Keith. Where did you get the blue registration attachment for your DF500? I’ve got the black one from Seneca, but am curious about the blue one. Does it work well for you?

Thanks Michael! That is the BigFoot by TSO Products. It's a a great replacement for the flimsy plastic one that comes with the Domino.
Great, I really need one of those- except, since all my media fits onto a single hard drive, shoebox size would be too big. Can you make a doll's house size version?
