Woodworker's Journal 1985-9-2, страница 36
With the soaring popularity of VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) units, and in response to many reader requests, The Woodworker's Journal has developed what we believe is an attractive, versatile combination TV/ VCR stand. It will accommodate a 19 in. television and either a front or top loading VCR. The pull out drawer provides space for two dozen VHS tapes. The stand was designed to fit well with most any decor, and to be easy to build. The pre-woven cane panels help to reduce the unit's weight, and the Television/VCR Stand caning technique involved is a simple procedure to master. For an in-depth discussion of installing pre-woven cane, refer to the Special Techniques article on page 23. The stand is built from 3A in. solid stock and matching V* in. plywood. Our stand is crafted in oak, however maple, cherry or some other hardwood can also be used. Make the side frames first. After the stiles (A) and rails (B) have been cut to length and width, miter the ends and cut out the recesses for the concealed splines. These spline grooves are cut on the router table using a V* in. straight bit and the simple jig shown in the routing detail. Several passes will be necessary to achieve the desired depth. The splines are made from V* in. thick plywood. At this time, again using the router table equipped with the V* in. straight bit, make the grooves for the reed spline. The grooves should be located about Va in. from the frame's inside edge. Several passes may be necessary to achieve the full V» in. groove depth. Next, using the table saw dado-head, or with the regular blade and the frame stock held on edge, cut the 1/16 in. cane recess from the reed spline groove to the inner edge. This recess will enable the cane to fit flush with the frame's inner surface. Glue up and clamp the frames and set them aside. Now cut the three plywood shelves (E), the plywood back (F), the aprons (G) and the cleats (H and 1). Glue the aprons to the shelves, both front and back, and round the edges on the router table using a V* in. round-over bit as shown. Note that, on the bottom shelf, the lower edge of the aprons are rounded over. Take the side frames and round over the corners to approximately a IV* in. radius using a band or saber saw. Next, using a V» in. round-over bit, apply a V» in. radius to both sides of the frame perimeter. Soften the frame's inner edge using a V* in. round-over bit. Cut the machine woven cane
