The Entertainment Nook is Complete. Whew!

[Leon]

I started phase II of the entertainment nook 4 weeks ago and with the help of Swingman we slid the completed console into position this morning.

The console had to be IR and sound transparent so that I could hide all of the electronics. It also had to hide the wiring, provide space for the front sides and center speaker, storage for CD's DVD and BlueRay disks and electronics and fill the 8' wide space. It does all of the above.

The back is completely open for ventilation and ease of accessing the wiring and the top is totally removable and indexed for easy replacement. The removeable top makes running all of the wiring a breeze without having to pull the console out.

Oh and Swingman, I think I'm probably going to do a little tweaking of the cables. ;~)

Really nice. One question though, are you concerned at all by all the electronics going into the cabinet causing heat? I was and put in a

12v transformer and several quiet fans to dissipate it.

[Leon]

Not at all concerned about the heat. The Amp/tuner is about 20 years old and has been in a less favorable environment for all of those 20 years. It was in a much smaller confined compartment with solid glass doors.

Looks good Leon. Elegant and classy. It will be real easy to watch the game on that baby.

Just wondering though, where did you hide the bar in this thing? ;-)

[Leon]

Thank you Mike, it was a mixed bag of emotions, I was not really ready to build it as it was to come befor the new TV. :~)

[Leon]

Thank you.

[Leon]

thank you Sonny.

[Leon]

Where were you during the planing stage? LOL Thanks Lee.

[Swingman]

Good thing, I had fewer cables in a 32 track recording studio. ;)

[dadiOH]

It looks great, Leon. Tres chic. And I'm sure it is as good functionally as it is esthetically.

[Leon]

Muchie Garcia Lew! :-)

[Leon]

Thank you

Meant to ask, how's the SawStop doing? Any new revelations about it? Has the feeling of being a little safer worn off yet?

[Michael]

Looks terrific! What kind of wood did you use?

[Casper]

Looks awesome! Super nice job. I would be proud to have an entertainment wall like that in my house. `Casper

I pulled the top and untangled the cables this morning, piece of cake so to speak. Still lots of cable but no longer a rats nest. LOL
