Your perseverance paid off and we thank you for it.

The angles and proportions are pleasing to the eye and the grain makes it a family
heirloom, congrats!

Well done! I was looking at the first pic (in the thumbnail), and thinking that the thing was walking out the door, until I realized that the “knee joint” started where the leg met the floor…which is mighty shiny! I haven’t even been drinking. Guess I oughtta get my eyes checked.

Ok, so I didn’t know who Chris Salamone was and now 3 solid hours of watching his youtube channel, now I do. I am a fan.

For the turntable, heat is handled via an open back and … not planning on using it too intensely :)

For the center area, the back is open and front is grill cloth that should be rather porous. At one stage of the project I thought this could be a major issue and picked up some fans from AC Infinity (Airplate S5, $30). They make very nice and affordable gear for case cooling, but at this point I’m saving the stuff I bought for another project.

Incidentally, the wifi router is in there and nobody has complained about signal loss.

Thank you! The legs are the best part of this design, in my opinion. (Not my design). They took some work to cut and lap, all on the table saw, but make the piece much more dynamic.

All 8/4. With the half-lap construction the legs are plenty strong and manage to look a little light.

Absolutely love it! MCM furniture has got to be my favorite. The joinery is spot on. Love that retro design. Good woodworking.
