Help w/ Blue Prints For A Basic Box [Pretty Much Just A Box]

Yours looks great. I haven't had a moment to start this since Hope's double stand is occupying all diy time at the moment. We just went and cut some 1/2" insulation and now we're removing both tanks to remove the wedge in the corner and lay them on this 1/2" insulation. If this doesn't work I'm throwing in the towel.

That's turning out awesome. I wish I had the work space it looks like you have. Nice open area to work.

I built it in the basement where it is pictured.

I know this thread is a bit old but I figured I'd show you the progress I finally got started today.



The bottom shelf and the center shelf are drilled together. Then I drilled the legs onto the top piece and then drilled holes into the top legs and top threw the middle shelf to insert two 5/8" wood dowels in there with gurilla glue to connect them. Now tomorrow I'll be adding back and side pieces for structure, and possibly get to painting it. I know you might think it looks small but that's exactly what I wanted. Just something to hold the TV that was only the length and width of the base of the flat screen so it didn't stick out at all, and one shelf for my PS3. When I add the side walls I was considering doing some drill holes in a circle pattern just for air circulation/ventilation since a console will be down there, but it should be open enough just with the front. Also, I need to find some sort of drill bit for making a hole or square cut in the back for cords. I could always pick up like a circle doorknob bit but the cheapest ones were like 7$ and I don't want to pay 7$ just for a cut out in the back. Gotta figure something out though since my biggest drill bit is 5/8" and I don't really have any tool I could use to cut a square out of there.

Looking good.

I have got a show rack that is stacked the same way from walmart lol.
But its looking good.

To cut the holes i suggest a jigsaw or a hole saw for your drill.
Not sure any other ways of going about cutting the holes really.

Thanks. I actually just used my 5/8" drill bit to ghetto a hole out.
