Looks good !

I wish I'd have kept my wood working skills up-to-date as I wouldn't have had to pay for Arca furniture instead.

How much did the cabinet cost you in total?

That's an extremely nice job cricketer.

I see from your other thread you're considering order?

Would it be possible to build on that could support a 32 or even 36 inch CRT?

It could easily support a 32/36 CRT. It is a heavy peice of kit. I am glad you like it.

It looks as though your Plasma is lob-sided... i.e. not quite in the middle of your speakers and cabinet.... That'd drive me nuts!

Nice work though. Looks really solid.

Hi Cricket,

that looks really cool, would really be interested in getting a 'custom' cabinet made by you, and I am only 10 miles from you, would it be possible to make one with doors (preferably lockable - my AV kit is my lads favourite toy!!!!) - let me know via thread

Cheers

Steve L

I think you'll have to dismantle the rack, line up your plasma then re-build it, this is the only way....
