Entertainment Center aka Goliath

One of my first entries here at The Fall of Autumn I wrote about creating an entertainment center, but there's only one problem I have no carpentry skills what so ever. So what's a boy to do? Follow the American way and outsource of course! I asked Allison's brother if he were willing to make us something in his shop class and he was kind enough to take my ghetto plans and make it become real. While searching on google for the look I wanted, I stumbled upon a fellow blogger and was excited to see this task could be possible. I quickly came up with some dimensions to fit in a nook in our home.



Today Allison and myself visited Davis High to see the progress and we were blown away at not only the quality of the cabinet but by the size of this thing. We kept the measurements in mind so that we could get it into the house... but holy cow, we're going to need some serious muscle to move this thing. Jordan has been doing a great job and humoring us while Ali makes a few more requests before we begin staining this mother. Most of our Saturday morning was spent at Home Depot debating the color and hardware we are going to put on this and finally came to an agreement. The finished project will be Ebony with some large hardware we found for really cheap but had to order special.

Everything is coming together slowly and we should have everything done in a few more months because Allison wanted a few changes to my super dope plans.
