Thank you for sharing your work on this video. I know it's several years ago. However, there are so many teaching aspects in the content; it is a valuable tool for the viewers. I hope you have continued to benefit from your craft!
I'm really glad I saw this video. Now I understand why, when I ask my husband to do a 'simple' project, he gives me a "look". There's always much more that needs to go into it than I realize.
Shame you had to cut off the original ball claw feet. I think I would have made some sort of support for the box and kept the old appearance of the unit. Good job though.
super cool on the lift in the early 1990s i was working for a Custom Woodworking shop and i saw one of the first electric television lifts we put in a Attorneys Credenza fo his office in Washington, D,C. boy was that high tech for the time as they provided us with one of the first flat panel televisions the lift we used was very temperamental about the micro switches what we call now the limiters i personally made many service calls to make adjustments on site bye nice Craftsmanship on the Antique cabinet modifications
Nice job. Cutting off the legs made me fall off my chair!!! Just wondering why you just didn't add a block in the center of the box to the floor for support instead
One more added detail would have add much more value to this piece. When the TV is down the lid covers the whole...great job with that btw. Yet when the TV was up the hole in the top of the cabinet is now open (can see inside) but worse is that stuff can fall in just below the TV and when the TV is lowered the screen could crack. My design suggestion is to cut a piece of the 3/4 inch plywood shorter and narrower then hole, attached to actuator with brackets. This modification will provide two solutions...protects the bottom edge of the TV and helps keep stuff from falling in the hole. Thank you for having good word economy, being mindful to not say um and other place holder words. Also, you are very good at editing out the bits of the project that we all find common (e.g. watch as this drill bit moves the cut pieces from the hole very nicely)...I don't care about the drilling and am interested in the project gochas, more need to know, leaving out some of the nice to know. So you are a great screen writer/editor. Keep up the good work.
Dude you put a lot of work into that. I think the owner coulda done himself a solid by picking out something better for u to use. But you did a fantastic job
Hi! I just found this. I have a couple of questions. Why build the "box" at all? Is I because the gutted cabinet doesn't have enough structural strength? How long did this take? I have a crazy idea for a dual lift cabinet, I wonder if it would work...
Great video! Question. Instead of cutting the top, why not separate the entire top of the cabinet from the base and connect the entire top to the lift so that the entire top of the cabinet goes up and down?
Enjoyed this project very much. The design and the details were perfect. You mentioned the top - Did you paint or did the client? I like the shop and I asked previously about a shop tour - any updates?
Donald Shulman the client had it stripped and painted, the reason I didn’t paint it was to minimize the time that the client was without their television. I’m also a terrible painter 😬 I’m hoping to shoot a shop tour video with a friend this weekend! Coming soon!!!
I'm curious why you didn't use a bevel cut with the track saw when you cut out the top piece. It would have been self guiding when it closed and wouldn't have fallen into the cabinet when you cut it out.
Why did you even need that box? Why not just make the back of the cabinet stronger and bolt to there and LEAVE THE FEET? It doesn’t make sense to me. Am I missing something??
nanaboli mia this went at the end of the clients bed, the bed was low so the legs had to be cut, and the face of the cabinet faces out, and the tv faces back to the head of the bed.
Jeff Shuford the clients bed actually only sat 25” off he floor to the top. The cabinet finished measured 27” high and the bottom of the tv about 3” above that. It worked out perfect for her scenario

I always tell people, if it was easy everyone would do it!

Best crafting detailed videos l have seen on UA-cam, well done
Why didn’t you make the box taller instead of cutting off the curves of the legs?
same thoughts. he was supposed to tall the cabinet instead of cutting legs . all i know original looks got disturbed,
Nice job. Cutting off the legs made me fall off my chair!!! Just wondering why you just didn't add a block in the center of the box to the floor for support instead
If you glued mirror panels to the front and sides of the box where it protrudes below the cabinet, it would visually "hide" the box in situ :-)
Now that I like

Hi!
I just found this. I have a couple of questions.
Why build the "box" at all? Is I because the gutted cabinet doesn't have enough structural strength?
How long did this take?
I have a crazy idea for a dual lift cabinet, I wonder if it would work...
The legs! The legs! I'm sure they would have supported the weight. Great job except for that.
Awesome! Nicely done!
excellent video
Great video! Question. Instead of cutting the top, why not separate the entire top of the cabinet from the base and connect the entire top to the lift so that the entire top of the cabinet goes up and down?
Brilliant! The work of a genius..making things look so easy!
Really looks great
Very cool! Nicely done.
Love it! Thanks for the ideas, guidance and great ideas!
Nice!
Excellent build. Great narration and easy to understand. What brand of lift did I you use.

wow..awesome
Ha! That's cool and very original! Well done my friend :)
Hello from Victoria Australia, great job, I wish I lived close, thanks for your videos.
Exactly what was the dimensions to start with H/W/D wise? And how big is the tv that got fitted?
What was the name of the lift that the customer bought from Amazon?
Why did you even need that box? Why not just make the back of the cabinet stronger and bolt to there and LEAVE THE FEET? It doesn’t make sense to me. Am I missing something??
The Client wanted it to be lower in overall height, I had no choice but to lop them off...
Nice video man. 👍 Where are you located. I would love one of those...
Why is the tv in backwards?
The bed is behind the cabinet
@@MakeEverything oh okay makes sense! Really great job!
@@MakeEverything do you have any for sale?
I don't understand why you cut the legs and why the screen is around the front of the cabinet
nanaboli mia this went at the end of the clients bed, the bed was low so the legs had to be cut, and the face of the cabinet faces out, and the tv faces back to the head of the bed.
I'm afraid the television will now be too low for viewing at the foot of the bed. Shouldn't have cut those feet!
Jeff Shuford the clients bed actually only sat 25” off he floor to the top. The cabinet finished measured 27” high and the bottom of the tv about 3” above that. It worked out perfect for her scenario
Is that back to front?
WOW
Hello from Victoria Australia,what part of America do you live?
How long was the whole process?
This took me about 1 day in the shop, there was some planning time prior to starting and then an hour or so for delivery in installation as well.
is not the front side left behind???? LOL
Why is it backwards?
The Cabinet goes at the foot of the bed. So the doors face away from the bed and the tv faces the bed. So they can watch tv in bed.
Ma non è montato al contrario ?
but is not mounted upside down?
That tv is going to be uncomfortable to watch while lying down. I love to have my knee up in bed sometimes.
I'm stuck on whatever the chick was on your phone screen at 19:46 of the video........
