    Awesome work! In future entertainment cabinets you may way to brain storm adding air flow though hidden back or lower panels. It will help the electronics live a happier cooler life. Keep up the great work, fun to watch you process.

    It's ironic that you say that! That's why the slat wall is the back, it allows tons of air in and out. Thanks!

    I know you have a lot of $$$ invested in your business, so don't take this the wrong way. While the cost of living in Colorado is 31% higher than the national average, it is still 35-40% cheaper than where I live.....California.

    Quality work 👍 I always liked how slat walls looked then built a prototype for myself and quickly realized that having it behind the TV messed with my eyes, I would "blink" the stripes 😂 Basically, looking at the TV with the slats in the background leaves the impressions on your eyes, almost hypnotic. So I decided on not having a slat wall behind the TV, moving forward I would only put them in a transitional area or accent wall BEHIND the main eye view where you're not always looking at it.

    Buddy you really need a new saw blade, maybe two. Dedicated ripping blade will cut down your effort a ton, and a crosscut blade will help with tearout. Time is money! The finished product is stunning, amazing work. Really shows that proper planning pays off. Subscribed.
