Project TV entertainment unit
Client who wields the rolling pin wants a TV unit for the new oversized TV, had a play in Sketchup come up with a design that SWMBO is happy with.
With a 75" screen the criteria was 2500 long 500 deep by 500 high with a rear upright to bolt a adjustable TV wall bracket thingo, a top shelf under the screen for the front and center speakers and a area big enough for a decent sized HT amp plus a sub amp and two game machines... and a modern industrial chic look or whatever the hipsters call it :)
Already have most of the materials, the frame will be all 50/2.5mm square tube for the legs and TV bracket frame, the two long horizontals between the legs are 50/5mm for extra strength and the standoffs/joiners will be 20/1.6mm sq. The TV wall bracket mounting plate will probably be 300x200/3mm.

The wood will either be blue gum or tallow wood 30mm thick with an oil/waxed finish or pre cat lacquer, the frame with be 2 pac black or possibly a dark argent(metal grey) metallic clear over base.
The top will be screwed up through the leg joiners and by the center supports from underneath it, the shadow style box for the amps will be screwed through from the two rear horizontals.
The TV wall bracket we have is a double arm type that can be angled in two panes plus pulled forwards(should come near flush with the front edge)and the screen weighs 34kg.
Can anyone foresee any problems with this design? do you think the frame will be strong enough:o
