The project

Here is our TV cabinet that I built. It is made from using Merbau decking and 18mm Ply. It's 2000mm long, 500mm deep and 730mm high. I even made the legs, by gluing a few pieces together to make it solid. The top is two pieces of 18mm Ply glued together. It's all been put together with some pocket hole screws. As an added feature, I trimmed some decking down to  thin strip's and added them to the edge, just to hide the Ply edge.
