TV Stand

I bet you all wonder where I've been! Either that, or no one noticed I was missing. Anywhoooo

Last weekend I moved from Colonial Homes to Post Woods. I'm now living alone in a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, and the extra room is convenient: my bedroom and office are now separate areas. I got a real bed to replace the old futon, so I've been sleeping more comfortably. One area that is lacking, however, is the living room. My futon and the coffee table are the only pieces of furniture at the moment, and the TV is a 13" Sony that hasn't been used since my sophomore year (our TV at Colonial Homes was Matt's). I've been searching Craigslist for furniture, but there are many misses per hit.

Anyway, the image above is from a Google SketchUp model I made for my future TV. It's a Craftsman-style stand based primarily for construction using 3/4" plywood (in 4'x8' sheets) and 1x3s. We'll see if I can find the weekend time to make this materialize, but I think it could be a fun project.
