The Remaining Panels and Interior Paint

ANGLED PANEL G

[ ] Cut piece 10½” long from the 14” pieces for PANEL G. This is the only piece that will get bevels on both ends so it may seem a little long. Attach your mounting blocks as usual.

Once the piece is laminated and trimmed, the bevels on both ends are easily cut with a jigsaw at a 45° angle by carefully following the laminate edge. Once you have cut both bevels, the piece should fit nicely.

BACK DOOR PANEL H

[ ] Cut the last piece 34” long from a 14” wide piece. This will be the back door of the cabinet. This piece will be hinged on the back with some self-closing cabinet hinges so it will not have mounting blocks attached.

You should attach one 1½” block in the cabinet to act as a stop.

INTERIOR PAINT

[ ] Disassemble any of the front, top and back panels you still have attached. The only panels that should be permanently mounted at this point are the TV SHELF PANEL C and the SPEAKER PANEL F.

[ ] Smooth drywall mud onto the surfaces that will remain visible, such as SPEAKER PANEL F and along the side panels in the monitor area. Allow to thoroughly dry. Sand smooth with 100 grit paper. Apply a second coat of drywall mud and repeat. Finish sand with 220 grit paper.

[ ] Spray or brush all visible areas of the interior with flat black paint. Paint only what you need to because the wood will absorb a lot of paint. (see picture)
