I need a man who can build neat shit. Nice job, OP!
rubbarz
Suuuuuure you built it for her. You just told her it was for her so you could do it. Smart man, OP. Smart man.

I don't approve of your Cowboys football, but high five for Whataburger! Also, ahem, good job on the wood stuff.

Well now I know Ford makes water heaters.

That is probably just a ford sticker on a water heater of some other brand
BeringerRD
That's awesome. I tried my hand at some wood working but always failed.

Serious question. How cheap it is if you diy compared to asking someone to do it for you?
tenaciousdtaughtmehowtolove
Well all n all it cost me about 250 in total for everything. As opposed to a almost way smaller identical one at tj max they wanted 500

A+ @op but won't lie- really distracted by jealousy over your access to WhataBurger. Come back to FL!!
TheTomahawk
Completed picture first, please. Annoying on a slow connection...
CaptainBrad

Clean your coffee table or I will come over there.

Next step, COASTERS. Don't let your entertainment center go the way of that coffee table.

Am I seriously the only guy who hates mounting a TV to the wall?
MagnificentTurd
Nope, i'm the second one.
wh33lm4n
Probably
Lillae
Am I the only one who hates turning half a wall into a heap of old wood? Looks like someone crashed through and they're covering it up.
Blanks56
I feel the same way. The worst is when people mount them above a mantle or fireplace. Would you put a tv stand there?
edubz123
agree, waaay too effing high. TV vertical midline should be eye-level when you're seated.
OnceUponThyme
I thought you just built the TV stand in the first picture. I was like.... ok
RedgrenGrumbolt
That's why it's good form to post the finished product in the second picture.
