• A Fancy Dead Blow Hamm... -~-
I have been on the hunt for a Media Credenza design for over a year now and nothing really tickled my fancy. That is until I came across a cabinet in Mike Pekovich's IG feed that he made with a student, Sean Montague. Turns out, the cabinet was inspired by the work of Philip Morley philipmorleyfu.... So in a somewhat convoluted way, all three of these gentlemen had a role in influencing the design of this Media Credenza. The project features book-matched crotch grain raised panel doors that slide smoothly in shallow grooves. Each compartment has holes and slots for wires and ventilation. While I made the project from 5/4 walnut and the plans reflect that, you should know that standard 4/4 material would suffice. I hope you enjoy.

My wife shouted ‘I’ll fineness your crotch later’ from the other room when she heard me watching this. I’d just like to thank you for all the effort you put into ensuring your viewers get the very most out of your videos, whether in the workshop or the bedr- .. or at home. Thank you.
All I have is WOW! I learned so much from this video. I was thrilled with the little details that elevated this project. Book matching, matching the grain on the base, dealing with the mistake, planing the doors for a perfect fit, adjusting the curves to be pleasing, thinning the look of the shelves without sacrificing strength, and so on. The base is where your skills really shine. I am the proud owner of a 130 armoire from English cherry wood and I see the same craftsmanship you exhibited in this build. AND, your camera work had improved tremendously. You have really elevated the craft.
The most impressive part of this entire build was the fix that you had to implement to repair the measurement errors. Most of the time, what separates the men from the boys, is the ability to fix mistakes in an undetectable way. You did a fantastic job of recovering from that mistake. and Thanks for showing the errors and how you recovered from them. To me that's almost more educational than the build itself.
I really like that you included your brother-in-law: just adds another interesting dimension. Very cool project, too. WELL DONE!
Very cool you included the mistakes and the problem solving to fix them.
Book ordered! Awesome work, my god... This is not into my aesthetics but is extremely satisfying to see the process and the final piece exudes quality and perfection. You just keep being a great inspiration to me after many many years!
Wow!! Unbelievably Gorgeous! I have to make my wife a bathroom vanity out of an old cherry tree we cut down a couple years ago in her grandmothers back yard. I am going to try to use this as a model for it but I am not that good. I have only made one large project prior which was a dresser for my daughter.
Great Job!! You work is amazing!
U do amazing work. Ur brother-in-law is a lucky man getting to learn from u.
Oh my... This was so satisfying to watch. Beautiful craftsmanship.
I could make that too if I had that brother-in-law 😜
Great looking piece of furniture
I have a brother-in-law. No help there :)
That tree is not dead my friend... You have brought it back to life. What superb craft man ship.! If only that timber was available in my country.
Still...Excellent recovery. Very nice piece of furniture. Really Beautiful.
I love the sliding doors on this piece, I will have to keep this in mind when I'm making cabinets
Interesting comment about TiteBond 3 - the glue line dries dark and is less noticeable in walnut. Thanks Marc - I always learn more when watching your videos.
Hello from Montreal,
I know you built this a little over 2 years ago, I just finish looking at your video, all I can say : WOW!!!
Incredible talented craftsmanship!! 👍👍
You’re absolutely right about making mistakes. I’m really hard on my self when I get too in a hurry and make a mistake on my projects. That was a great recovery and it turn out beautiful!
This is awesome. I have been looking for a media stand myself and this is perfect timing!
jfunkship same here. Love it, maybe a bit much for me to tackle, yet
Awesome! Beautiful craftsmanship!
That was a tense build. So much going on. And for those people who don’t understand how to build, probably don’t appreciate the skill level that is needed.
You said yourself that it was challenging for YOU. So I can’t imagine to many hobbyists would be able to build it. Well maybe BUT would not look as beautiful as this. Very impressed. And I for one appreciate that you admit and showed your mistakes . 👍
Will definitely be looking into purchasing your book as long as not to much $. As times are a bit tough these days. Thanks Marc for all that you do for the TH-cam woodworking community.
crotch doors with sliding action and interconnecting holes.
i would have never guessed that sentence would be related to a beautifully constructed media center. your intro made my day. thanks for posting.
it's amazing what a few subtle curves can do to transform a relatively simple design into a beautiful piece of furniture.
YOU are the one that should have millions of subscribers
love this build
Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you for inspire me. I did enjoy the part talking about the mistake and how you resolve it. Sunny and warm regards from Haiti.
félicitations j'ai jamais vu un travail aussi parfait et bien expliquer (congratulations I have never seen such perfect and well explained work)
Awesome work Marc...and Thanks for not embedding those annoying ads that pop up every5 mins on most videos here.
To err is human, to arhhhh is pirate. I thought you do with a little chuckle. Fantastic build
So yeah, just ordered a copy off ej.com. been a fan for quite a while and have made a few of your projects. Thanks for being you homey.
Great video! I made one several years ago, but with a drawer at the bottom of the right and left. This gave me room to put a false back and a shelf tucked in the back behind the left drawer for a battery backup power supply. All the cords go through the false back with a single "harness" coming out of the back that plugs to the wall power, HDMI and the banana plugs for all the speakers. As Marc said multiple times, for some equipment I had to install some fans to extract the heat so leave room somewhere for that.
and just like that the assistant was fired. ha. Everyone makes mistakes, and you handled it better than I would have. Nice build man. Looks amazing, That book match especially. wow.
Looks fantastic! Very nice project. Thanks for keeping the mistakes in and showing how to correct. Lots of great tips too.
I'm still working on getting boards flat and angles proper, but THIS is cool as hell! 😆 Very motivating
I subscribed 8 years ago, and today I still enjoy your content!
30 minutes? what is this a guild video!? 😂 Glad to see content on the free site!
Our longest running is 672 minutes :)
Hilarious blooper with Base Piece! Good job Fixing it. Good Design!!
An absolutely beautiful piece of furniture that will last for a long, long time. Well done, Marc.
Gorgeous! And I did see a dragon in that one panel. Hate you messed up, but thanks for showing how you fixed it.
It's amazing what you can build when you have the most high-tech, most expensive tools available. Beautiful piece of furniture.
looks fantastic and great recovery
Lovey design - the curves understated and balanced with some subtlety, harmonious with the bullnoses, the proportions all pleasing. Such a combination of skill and art: always a delight to see your work.
Bravo to you for showing the mistake(s). Good troubleshooting for the fix. Beautiful work as always
I heard something recently about mistakes that really struck a chord with me. "The master has made more mistakes than the apprentice ever will". The fact that the learning from mistakes is an important part of growth and learning is important. Not to mention ways to compensate for flaws and mistakes is definitely a huge part of finish woodworking.
You make beautiful fine furniture. I’m not there yet but hopefully will learn from you. Thank you
I've learned so much from you over the years. You have always inspired me to keep at it. I really enjoy seeing you mistake fixes. This is an absolutely beautiful piece. Thanks Mark for all you do. 👍😎
Absolutely love this project. I've been looking for a TV credenza to hide all the ugly control boxes. Thanks for leaving in the oops. Makes the me feel better when I see you make a mistake. We're all human. I make most of my mistakes when I start thinking too far ahead of myself.
Wow. Really nice. Thanks for sharing mistakes and how to correct them
Great work Marc
Great craftsman ship
We all hate those miss fortunes , but it forces us to work harder to avoid them in the future
Marc, @ 12:56....Mr. Snodgrass would not be happy! The side rollers are spinning like crazy!
TWW: I thought this endeavor was outstanding and yet enjoyable, indeed. I especially enjoyed your sincerity regarding the errors and some forgetfulness, all part of the process! I am looking forward to more invaluable insights. Semper Fi
Gorgeous job. Loved it. Sorry you had to cut the base again to make right fit. Thanks for sharing.
what a beautiful piece of furniture
Beautiful work Marc. Great video. I'm a fan of a U shaped shelf on the back to handle cables and cords. Great fix on the "issues." All work has "issues."
Absolutely gorgeous
Nice job on the base recovery Marc. At least it was too wide and not too short. I just happen to need a media cabinet so I'll be getting those plans.
Just a piece of advice Marc. @ 27:36 when doing raised panel and field, it's always advised to start on the end grain (going across the panel) because of possible tearout when finishing the cut. In other words, start across one top end, say, then just go round the board in clockwork fashion- only backwards. I hope I'm making myself clear. Thanks for sharing. Impressive workshop you have there. I enjoyed your shop tour. All the best from France.
Beautiful work.
beautiful piece
This is going in my bucket list of builds. I need to hone some skills but I will soon take this on.
Awesome, I love all the details and curvatures. Nice recovery from your mistake too.
Great build. It's been a while since your last complete project not counting the table top. Good to see one again.
Thanks for the reminder! lol
"Some people see an owl. Some people see a dragon. I see a dead tree."
You are such a romantic!
Woo hoo, a project video! Can't wait to get my copy of your new book and get working in the shop :)
I really like this piece. I need to build a media console and this gives me great ideas. While I might simplify the design, this is great inspiration. Love the commentary.
You have given me a great idea for the bookcases I build. I had never considered doing the "book match" for the sides of my cases. Can't wait to incorporate that into my next build. Also...while I'm sorry you had to do some major rework on the base, I appreciate that guys like you who are way advanced beyond my skills...still encounter "learning opportunities".
Excellent work 👍
Sometimes, there is a perfect a perfect emoji for how a video leaves you. Today is one of these times: 😮
As usual, this is amazing work!
That is the most beautiful piece you have every made IMAO. Walnut is by far my favorite wood. I would have mortgaged my house to buy that.
You are an awesome craftsman.
The credenza looks great, love the long format and the fixes of the mistakes
I had been putting off watching this because it was a longer video. But I am SOOOOO glad I didn't wait any longer. I love this! Walnut is my favorite. But also I just love the joinery and everything about it. Sorry to laugh at your pain.... but the face you made before you put on your fixer hat... that was good stuff. My only problem with this video is that you make it look so easy. It really makes me want to make one. I love it. Definitely going to put your book on my wish list as well. Thanks for sharing. This is beautiful.
Trick with wide board than jointer is simply (and) awesome. :D
Beautiful piece of furniture!
I absolutely love it! Great video.
That is so beautiful, thank you
Absolutely beautiful, Marc! Thanks for plugging away at the footage to get it released
Very nice...great details! Nice fumble recovery...
Beautiful
Just ordered your book! I am excited to get into it when it arrives. Thank you for everything you do to help us along our woodworking journey. You are appreciated more than you know. Take care.
I was on Amazon watching old season one shows and they are amazing! I've seen them all before, but I always seem to pick up a new trick each time I watch. The quality is actually pretty good considering, but Marks voice overs make them just awesome. Thanks for the years of filming!
Beautiful, just beautiful! Received my book Wednesday of this week... Thanks for the personalization!
Good on you for including a mistake in your video. Me and my dad have a shop saying, "nobody is going to see that." Mistakes happen! And can happen to any woodworker no matter how experienced. Good job on this video.
Beautiful work 👍👍👍👍
lovely. love wallnut
Nice save Marc another great use for the Domino.
WWGOA showed me your design. Came here to thank you for the lesson.
A really pretty product. Love the doors.
Beautiful job Marc - and thanks for sharing the "mistakes", very instructional!
What you do Sir, is pure art! I'm truly impressed with the craftsmanship of your projects, and, more importantly, with your detailed narrative. Great work, keep it up!
STUNNING!
Thank you for this awesome post!! And, especially, for the comment regarding woodworkers “fixing their mistakes” - I agree that the best policy is to avoid making them in the first place!
I admire your going after the full fix on those side rails. I would have just cut the excess out of the center of each rail, possibly inserting some sort of contrasting/decorative element. But I’m lazy :)
Great technique for jointing boards wider than your jointer!!
The band aid was a nice touch
Beautiful furniture and video! Thanks!
Fine work enjoyed watching
That's some quality work right there
This is awesome. I've been trying to decide what to do with a bunch of walnut that I've had in my shop for a couple of years. Thanks for the video Marc.
Walnut is an amazing finish wood so it look better on panels and doors or tops. Using it for a frame might be a little bit too much unless you want to make it entirely to an fine furnished standard.
Nice piece!!!!!! Great fix on the end rails of the base!
Really outstanding video, especially for free-site content! I really appreciated the completeness, covering everything from grain selection to fixing the mistakes and finishing. The references to past videos with episode numbers are also really helpful.
Beautiful, I’m a subscriber of your channel from Saudi Arabia, and i love to tell you that I’ve learned a lot from you
Very nice Mark, I love the arch on the top of the doors and the opposite arch you did at the bottom. That little detail really seems to dress up the looks of the cabinet design.
I have been doing woodworking for 40+ years, and till this day, I still make mistakes. Nice to see a woodworker admit to their mistake and learn. Keep up the great work.
