As promised and in spite of being rather nervous having seen Senior's wardrobes here goes..

The carcasses are all built in 19mm ash faced MDF, all shelves are edged with solid ash and the panels are edged with ash veneer. The doors are solid ash frames, mortice and tenoned with 6mm ash faced MDF panels.

The door on the right covers up a chimney breast and mounting the TV was fun!

The dressing table was built to match, also of a combination of solid ash and ash faced MDF. The top is solid.

I made two identical (ish) bedside cabinets.

And of course a bed

The legs taper in just about every direction and the back is a solid frame with a veneered MDF panel.

A couple more shots.

And finally (if you're not already bored). I rebuilt my speakers with some of the spare MDF and ash.

Thanks for looking and any comments are welcome.

Cheers
Mike

Thanks, Yes, it's a transmission line. I bought the kit years ago from this guy www.iplacoustics.co.uk/ but have just rebuilt the cabinets. The rest of it is here if you're interested: www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=611286

Joe,

Sorry I missed you point about the drawings. I'm at work now but will post some drawings later.

As for the tidying up, it is usually fairly tidy but we did tidy it up before taking the pics.
