Build a classic TV stand with standard tools and cheap materials, step by step guide
This TV stand belonged to a series I built around 2010 and was one of our best sellers. The TV stand has been sold in hundreds of copies but in a slightly more advanced version.
This guide shows how you can build the same TV stand with simple tools and cheap materials. To build this tv-stand, we recommend that you take a look at the video instructions and the CAD file made in SketchUp. CAD drawings are available at my Etsy page: mindsparxdesigns.etsy.com
To support my work you can buy the CAD drawings or other items from that page.
You can download Sketchup as a demo version from Google or as a free ware as long as it is SketchUp from 2017 and back.
If you need the drawings in inches, you can change the measurement units in SketchUp and then you will see all the measurements in inches.
The material we use is floorboards with a thickness of 14mm and 12mm MDF. If your wood has other dimensions, you can modify the Sketchup file so that it suits you better.

People donate to me to show their appreciation which is incredible. I have no expectations at all for any contributions but they are appreciated as it is expensive to build a house.

DIY Saw Fence Stop, RawStop 2.0

I have had many requests for the saw stop I developed. Instead of making a product out of it, I've decided to only sell the software along with instructions on how to build it. Since this channel is for other things than my computerized tools i will upload videos like that on my other channel www.youtube.com/@Rawcnc Please visit that channel if you are interested.

    Very impressive! It's the same in the US, all under the guise of protecting the tenants of the house, but in reality it's all about protecting the banks insurance companies since almost 0 building occurs without finance.. Municipal fictional corporate entities and their armed thugs act as enforcers for this agenda. They literally believe the land is owned by the counties, and people are just tenants, it literally says "tenant" on deeds and mortgage documents.. Anyway, that is all going to burn down in the near future, hope I will live to enjoy watching the fire.. Cheers from Florida!!

    I enjoy watching your videos. I noticed something that was a bit confusing for me in the video at time = 4:26. You are showing 60cms and 16''. 60 / 2.54 (1inch)= 23.62 inches not 16 inches. It looks like your studs are at 16'' on centre or 40.64cm. But your insulation width at 55.5 cms so you are spacing your studs at 60Cms?? or 23.6 or 24 on centre. Does the ''Hammer board' pass for snow loads? I have only seen this in Europe not yet in Canada I wonder if inspectors would allow. Should because it looks stronger. Thanks
