Alright people, the moment you've all been waiting for..... the TV cabinet is complete! As I said last time, after I got the glass most of the remaining work was the cosmetic things. Thanks to Sally for helping out with the staining, those drawers has a lot of very large flat surfaces.
So a quick putty, stain, frost, and two drawer handles later, and it's all done. Hope you guys like the results, andagree with me that it's a damn sight better than the things it's replacing.
Well I certainly do, so who really cares what you guys thing anyways. I must mention that the glass looks substantially more frosty in person.
As you can see, I felt the need to include the radio in the pictures because, well, the radio is sitting right next to it so any photo of one really doesn't work without the other.
After all that, I felt that I was thoroughly entitled to one of these:
The next job, I hear you asking? Well Sal has ordered a rabbit, which means that the next and most pressing job will be to create a hutch for it to inhabit. After that the next job is the one you've been waiting for..... the fish tank.
I hope to put some more detailed plans of the fish tank up soon for you to peruse.
Have fun people,
Bob
I've been out of the pet loop for quite some time, but I was not aware that you had to order rabbits these days.

ReplyDeleteLooks pretty cool :) And the glass too :)
The comparison next to the Radio is interesting. Did you ever think about using a darker stain to sort of match the radio?
All in all, nice one :)
Lambie: I know I've told you this in person, but I thought I'd explain on this as well. The rabbit was just born, therefore we chose him (we know it's a he now) and now we're waiting until it's old enough to take home.
ReplyDeleteTrav: *hi-5s back*!
Thanks for the compliments. I see what you mean about the stain.. if the pine on the drawers was made a bit darker it would match better. We hadn't even thought about that one, I'll let you know.
