Re: TV Units

Hello @Robisgreat 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about building your TV unit.

 

I've done a preliminary drawing of your cabinet and have based the material on 16mm MDF for ease of sourcing and assembly. Can you please double check the height of the last space at the top. The internal space of the bottom is 430mm, the middle is 350mm and the space left is 56mm is this correct? If not, please let me know and I will modify the image.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Re: TV Units

Hi @Robisgreat,

 

Unfortunately, I don't have access to @EricL's drawings and he is off for the weekend and will not be back online until early next week.

 

I have sent him a reminder to follow up with this as soon as he is back online.

 

I apologise for the delay.

Re: TV Units

Hello @Robisgreat 

 

My apologies for the late reply. I've placed the rest of your diagram below, please have a look and tell me what you think. In regards to the price of the materials, it all depends on what panel you are using. For example, if you were to use Specrite 1800 x 405 x 18mm Timber Multi Use Pine Panel it would be much more stable than MDF.

 

But the advantage of the MDF is that you can build the entire cabinet with just one panel of 2400x1200. I propose visiting the store so that you can see the type of material you'll want to use. Both of these timber materials must be primed before being painted.

 

Please note that these measurements are based on the ones that you have provided, please double check them before committing to cut your timber. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
