Easily pimp your TV cabinet with solid oak, by Erik

Description

I made our new TV unit myself from 18mm MDF Lacquer and mounted it floating on the back and side walls. To give it a sleek design, I opted for handleless cabinet doors which are closed by means of... prints can be opened. However, to give the new TV cabinet a warmer look, I finished the top with a oak board which is supplied with millimeter accuracy by www.OPMAATZAGEN.nl. It was a lot of fun to make and we are very happy with the end result!

Go for warmth, go for oak

First of all, I made a working drawing of the exact dimensions. I then made a workbench in the backyard using trestles and old planks on which I cut the 18mm MDF panels to size using a plunge saw and guide. I put the whole thing together with screws and then plastered, primed and painted, after which I attached our new TV cabinet to the back & side wall. Finally, I glued the oak to the top with Polymax High Tax. See the photos for the end result :-)
