Project Information

A friend wanted something for storing his DVD collection (he has 2300 DVD movies!), so he asked me to make 3 media cabinets for them. They are made from cabinet grade 3/4" red oak plywood with solid red oak for the face frames and French doors. The shelves are fixed with dados cut in the side panels. I used 1/8" glass and hidden hinges for the doors. The backs are 1/2" oak plywood. They're stained "special walnut" with two coats of sanding sealer and two coats of lacquer, sprayed. By my calculations, he can "only" get about 1700 of his DVD's in them unless he doubles them up, so he may be coming after me for another couple of cabinets.

I'm not sure what is more incredible, the job you did on the cabinets or the fact your friend owns that many movies! You did a wonderful job.
