        @motojobobo Thank you! The legs were one of my favorite parts to build. Somehow everything went right. Did I get lucky, or was my skill improving? Either way, it was a refreshing change from the angular work I'd been doing, and it was nice to spend some time making more organic shapes. And I agree, they offer some nice visual balance to the boxy top.

        @mclaincausey Thank you!

          Finally got to take this home and get it set up.

          @goosehd I ended up buying some acoustic foam for the speakers to sit on inside the cabinet, and it seems to do the trick. I'm not getting any additional noise through the turntable, so I think it's a pretty good solution. The sound is definitely best with the speaker doors off when listening to a record, but when I'm streaming music via bluetooth, I'm fine keeping the doors on.

              @seawolf freaking incredible!!! I'm so impressed with your design skills, Zach. And here I thought your belts were the ultimate craftsmanship!

                @goosehd Thank you! Not officially graded yet, but I'm certain it'll be the highest mark possible. I'm one of 4 people out of a class of 15 that made anything worth keeping, and this media console is firmly in the "fine furniture" category, so I know I'm safe.

                @Mizmazzle Thank you so much! This project awoke something inside of me, and it's quite literally changing the direction of my life. I'm applying to grad school to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts in woodworking and furniture design. I'm so stoked!

                  You might appreciate this piece bro. We had it custom designed and made by a crazy talented dude like yourself. It has a solid slab walnut front panel. 100% my favorite piece of furniture I’ve ever had. Incredible how something like this with its pure design esthetic can bring so much happiness. You’re destined to bring lots of enjoyment to peoples lives.

                    @Mizmazzle that is absolutely stunning! I love walnut (obviously, lol), and your piece is exactly why. There's so much amazing figuring in that board, and it's simply gorgeous. I'm so glad you have something in your home that brings you so much joy.

                              @Anesthetist Such an interesting design. I remember when that place was built, it seemed so modern.

                                I filed for a patent this morning, so I'm officially allowed to share this with the world. I've been designing this for the last 4 months and it's finally done!

                                  Just stunning my man!! Congratulations on your achievement. It looks like it can articulate and adjust to any position…but also looks instantly like a classic, mid century piece of furniture/ art.

                                  It’s a roach clip, right??
