    Yeah, for the speakers I was thinking a basic frame with the speaker cover fabric stapled to the opening and then some type of clips kind of like the ones used on speakers. That way I could just pull off the covers if I ever need to get in there.

    I think I spent a little under $200 on the material, and I had to get a shelf pin jig, 3/4" router straight bit, and couple of other things that might have added another $75 or so on top of that. I was thinking of putting some doors on it, but my wife filled the empty spaces pretty well. We'll...

    Thanks Aaron. I went with 3/4" oak veneer plywood with some edge banding. Will stain it with Puritan Pine to try and match with the existing rustic pine furniture.

    Great looking piece John. I think Joey is right with it being to ambitious for me. I really have limited tools, circular saw, straightedge, and router (no table). I may be able to hook up with someone that has more tools, but was trying to mainly do it at home. My thoughts were some basic boxes...

    Anyone know where I can find some plans for and entertainment center for my 51" RPTV? I have a general idea of what I'd like to build, but not very knowledgeable with woodworking, so I need some guidlines. I like the general design of the one here but can't seem to find if the article ever had...
