I just finished this built-in for customer this week. I didn't end up taking a lot of pics of the process and the ones that I took when I was done are horrible...sorry. This is a big job for me. I'm a high school teacher and do woodworking on the side to keep our family afloat.
The bottom doors have a black mesh (hard to see from the pics) so that you can still use the remote to access the dvd player and stereo components. The drawers are dovetailed with Hettich soft-close undermounts. The glass shelves were a pleasure to make. I used the domino to reinforce the miters and they came out perfectly. I'm not sure how I would have done this without the domino without having some kind of visible reinforcement. I made a simple little jig to hold the mitered end of each piece and then plunged the domino into the opposite end. The actual dominos had to be cut down to fit.
The edge of the top (an old 2" thick maple workbench that I cleaned up) was routed with the 1400 and the shelf holes for the uppers were drilled using the LR32.
Thanks for looking. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
