Description

After the successful completion of my kitchen fronts project (see elsewhere on this page) it started to itch again! Fortunately, the Ikea cabinet where the TV was placed was too ugly... So time for a new Audio Video furniture. Now exactly to size!

Audio furniture with my own design

I wanted to make a simple cabinet with a sleek and luxurious appearance. This entire cabinet consists of 5 parts. 4 planks mitered on all sides from 18 mm MDF and 1 center support from 30 mm MDF. The center support is secured from above and below with screws, all other connections only wood glue. After gluing, the inside is primed and painted in gray. I provided the outside with real wood veneer and then oiled it. I ordered the veneer from AliExpress... but that is not recommended. It is too thin to process properly. If you also want to do this: don't go for the budget option like I did! Veneering is time-consuming and precise work, but not difficult. Cover the MDF completely with wood glue, let it dry (30-45 minutes) and if you actually think: now it won't stick anymore.... then place the veneer on top, grab an iron at a fairly low temperature and iron it firmly. Just put a piece of paper between the iron and the wood. Then it's just a matter of cutting it clean. The end result is great!
