Norwegian Wood Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hello,Earlier this year after looking for a media bench for my home cinema, I finally gave up on finding what I need. It turns out furniture manufacturers don't know how to design good furnitures for home cinema.So I decided I had to make my own media furnitures. This meant I had to learn how to build it, and I bought some books on the subject and started to watch a lot of videos on Youtube. One of my favorite channels turned out to be The Wood Whisperer. After a few months of designing several solutions in SketchUp I started the building this summer, and it turned out to be far easier than I originally thought it would be. (I used MDF and oak for the bench, and I am very pleased with the result.) The result of this project has been an increased interest in building furnitures, and I'll probably start making more as I have several good ideas for furniture I would like to see finished. By the way the rest of my time is spent as a photographer, video production, and running an investment business. Been doing pretty good lately and have started looking for a smaller house to buy. PS: As I am Norwegian the nick pretty much had to be used. It's a great record and the book by Murakami is pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Wood Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm more the heavy/black metal, jazz, indie, classic, rock, rap, etc. type of music listener. Pretty much anything but electronica, dance and pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Welcome to the forum. I have a luthier friend who sold his large house with a small shop to fund a smaller house with a large (very large actually) shop - good philosophy I reckon.

MattSC Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Welcome to the forum Mr. Wood I wish I had something cool to say in norwegese. So instead I'll offer some forum advice. Atleast for me its NEVER a good idea to drunk post. Though drunk replies are ok. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
