Latest Project : Floating TV Cabinet

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


This project grew legs quickly. It started as "let's get that center channel speaker off the floor and onto a stand". Then, "How about an under TV cabinet?" followed by "How about a floating TV cabinet?"Next, "Wouldn't some built inLED lighting be a nice touch?". Finally,"Whoa, you can do that with LED lights now"?

I installed two power/USB portals. I recessed the one on the cabinettop and flush-mounted the one in the lower middle cubby. I also made a speaker grill that is held in place by neodymium magnets. I had just enough grill cloth left over from redoing the grills on my two (almost 40 years old)Mach One speakers. I attempted to match the form factor of those.

Here is a YouTube video that I made to demo the dynamics of these lights that could not be conveyed in photos.

There is an immersive "DreamView" mode that reacts to the image on the TV screen. There is also a "Music" mode that reacts to the sound in the room
