- Marking The Floor For The Base
Our wall is 164″ long so we decided upon the following for the base: (2) 12″w cabinets, (2) 36″ w, and (2) 30″ w. Keep in mind that these are the wall cabinets you buy to put above in a kitchen- not base cabinets. Those would have taken up more floor space and made the space feel smaller. Here’s the order list for our project and costs: 1. 2x 12″w ...
Before we bought everything, my mother-in-law suggested we use masking tape to show where everything would go on the floor. This helped a lot while we were doing the whole process. We had to remove the moldingaround the area we were installing the built-in cabinets. We opted to remove the molding for just the laminate floors and leave the white mol...

- Cut the tapered legs. Your tapering jig doesn’t have to be as elaborate as this one; a slab of plywood with cleats to hold the leg in position will do.
- Cut the curved lower rail. Glue blocks to the ends of the rail, sand the joints flush and then cut the curves. Use the first offcut to mark the other curve.
- Drill pocket holes. Choose the best-looking side of each rail and bore pocket holes in the other side. Also bore pocket holes in the back panel.
- Assemble the face frame. Be sure to join the rails to the non-tapered sides of the legs. Join the legs to the back panel the same way. Drill the pocket holes in the back side of the rail ends and the edges of the plywood back (Photo 3).

- TV Stand Measurements. The dimensions for this entertainment center are 36” x 48.5” x 25” (Height x Width x Depth). For this project, I used ¾” plywood to make the carcass and 1/2″ cypress wood for the trim, shiplap, and cabinets.
- Cut Plywood (with Diagram) This DIY entertainment center calls for 3 full sheets of plywood. In order to help you minimize waste, I created this cut list.
- Outer Carcass. First, the outer TV cabinet carcass is made with 3/4″ plywood. It consists of 4 pieces: Bottom, Right, Left, and Back. Some folks believe pocket hole joinery lacks strength and should not be used.
- Attach Back. Once you secure each side to the bottom, attach the back with glue and screws. First, spread glue and use clamps to hold the back in place.
