The TV cabinet which we brought to the workshop a little over 25 months ago is finally getting the facelift it needed. It took several sessions of toying, thinking, measuring and imagining. The TV sat there for a good amount of time, survived a major flood and is finally getting some attention once we decided to get the project over and done with. 


We're so happy we're doing it. 


Stand by for the final product. Painters are applying final touches and then will go into detailing. I cannot wait to bring her home. 

This was the first TV my Dad's family had. Must have been the 1950s. Back in the day when TV sets were considered furniture and were meant to last 20 years. We hadn't reached the moon yet. No Vietnam war yet. I always had my eye on this piece, and while my grandmother was still alive, God bless her soul, she gave it to me. I was over the moon. 


Since then it's been in storage and ideas of what to do with it have been varied and diverse. I am glad to annouce that now this beautiful TV cabinet is in the hands of a very able woodworker. Major adjustments are being done to it to bring it from a state of near-junkyard obsolescence to one of retro reuse. In a few days it will be in our studio, being a part of our every days.


Its innards, mind you ---knobs, bulbs, resistors, transistors and all sort of devices which have names that many modern-day super heroes could carry--- are stored somewhere in a box. Those will, someday, be part of another adventure.
