Ewey the Handyman! (With Pics)

Yes, that's right folks! I'm not just a pretty face... I am fairly handy when it comes to building/fixing things. My latest project was the entertainment unit for our living room.

Steph and I have been searching around for an entertainment unit for quite some time now and either found them way overpriced, or just not quite what we were looking for in terms of what suited our needs.

After enough trips to stupid department stores, I was fed up and mentioned to Steph that I could make one for much cheaper.

You see, we needed one that would fit our new TV and have enough shelves in it so we could get rid of a lame ass shelving unit we had in the living room.

I tried to persuade her by saying it would be solid wood and not that cheap ass particle board crap that once starts to break apart, all hell breaks loose on it and its destroyed in a matter of months.

Anyway, Steph said no because she apparently didn't trust my wood working skillz. More time went by and still no decent units.

Yes, that's right. She finally gave in to me and gave me the go ahead.

Anyhow, My brother Geoff and I went out to Home Depot to pick up the wood and accessories, and went to his place to make an entertainment unit!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

I have to give mad props to Geoff for helping me. He's pretty savvy in the building things properly department.

At any rate, after the cutting, trimming, staining and varnishing, I was pretty high and wasted from the fumes..... It all came together nicely and Dad and I finally brought it home to my place for it's purpose.

Peace out my little minions!

Ewey

Notice the wonderful stain and varnish application, along with how snug the TV fits


Notice the beautiful corner brass pieces and the inlaid router cut on the top front... Notice it!

Notice the view we see from the sofa and the strategic placement of everything

Notice the angled shot I took on the camera and notice that I am awesome!
