New TVs change the rules for designing cabinets.

Bob's latest book is "The Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker" (Cambium). Contact him at 513-531-2690 ext. 1327 or robert.lang@fwpubs.com.

few years ago, I called a contractor I was working for to confirm the size of his customer's television set. It would be going in some expensive custom cabinetry, and like most entertainment centers, nearly every design decision would be based on the size of the TV. His reply? "Too wide by too tall by too deep. Just like always." While he was joking, it was humor based on bitter experience. One of the worst experiences a woodworker can have is investing a lot of time in a project only to discover at the end that the TV won't fit, the doors won't close or you get a crick in your neck when you sit down to watch.
