My "Budget" Setup / kinda fake wall...ish..

[ohm-ed]

Hey every one have been checking out some very nice posts on here of some of the pritty savage rooms people have designed and thought id give it a go.....Now its nothin compaired to some of the stuff here (be gentle im not a carpenter ha) but I said id throw it up any way to show what kind of ideas ive got from here...props to paddy also for the structure of his Paddy's *budget* false chimney breast attempt

well i started of with my room like this bit of a mess i know...

[ohm-ed]

so i started to build a frame out of 2x1 1/2 battons which took a bit of trial and error....

[ohm-ed]

after the frame was built i inserted shelves using 3/4 inch MDF for support. I also used 1/2 inch MDF on the front as I didnt want to use plasterboard because I didnt want to go down the line of plastering. I measured everything and cut the holes out of the front sheet and because I dont have the skills to cut a straight line I decided to use door paneling to frame my tv and shelves to house my amp,xbox,etc... also added a desk on the left hand side to support my monitor( cannot see in the pics but I have made a shelf for my pc under the center speaker to the right.)

[ohm-ed]

so after finishing the framing (well almost, ran out of wood ) this is what I have done to the fake wall/housing with all my gear in it.

I had another 4 foot to the left of the unit so I decided to attach a worktop and shelves to hold my decks and records.so this is it so far still have to finish the trim on the front and attach a side panel with a door to get at plugs and what not and then to paint it. I also have to box in the shelves so you cannot see the wires at the back. will post more when finished. criticism welcome

Hello

I like the look of what you have done there! A nice built in look. Only criticism would be to try and upload the pics to photobucket.

I love the architrave [sp?] effect you've done and the shelf with your decks on is a great idea.... one which I may nick too!!

Top work

Nice one Paddy
ya the architrave works out well to cover any cuts gone pare shaped.
Its nice to finaly have my records sorted out and every thing on one wall makes it much more easier to manage.
Nick away......
