mobile TV

The TV corner is getting out of control, cords, cables, plus the whole thing is immobile. When we were growing up our main TV was on castors and we would move it around the house to suit what we were doing, rather than commit to sitting in the lounge room to do nothing but view the screen. Time to remedy this error of the future.


Removed the rear panel, it adds a lot of light to the inside when viewing the DVD library now. Used some castors I'd salvaged from a bed-base that Skev was throwing out.


Support blocks required in the corners. The cheap castors are heavily supported by the plastic shroud.


I stained and varnished the piece of my desk that I'd cut out for the keyboard-well, and attached it as a shelf to the side of the cabinet. This will give me a spot to put the PC-TV-controller, and keep things mobile. Cut-outs were req'd for the castors. All the white dots are drill-holes from using this piece as scrap for a considerable amount of time. Other side looks new though :)


Mobile PC stays with the cabinet.



Came up looking great, and now zooms around the room. Very quick easy job!!

...yes...those are christmas lights that I've failed to remove...there are three christmas stockings still on my lounge room walls too!! :D
