I'd like to start by saying, yes, I have completed a woodworking project. Just let that sink in. But like most things, it didn't happen the way I planned.
It began with a goal of painting the entertainment cabinet over this past weekend. I fortunately had Friday off so I was going to get a jump start on sanding and prep work. Thursday night Laura and I decided it would be fun to watch the Disney classic The Jungle Book. Since I was all entertainment-cabineted-up, I figured why not elevate our TV (on an old Power Mac Box no less) so we could bask in just how awesome the soon to be completed entertainment cabinet would be! Sounds good, and in fact it was a good idea, but by the time "Bear Necessities" came on I was experiencing a not so good pain in the neck. That's when a simple fact of TV viewing hit me:

Epic TV viewing fail in easy to interpret graphic format |
The "lightning bolts" of pain depicted above may be the result of my own failing physiology or the same effect sitting in the front row of a movie theater elicits, either way, something had to change.
 |
Balloo is not pleased and doesn't like change! |
The next morning I was tasked with converting my gloriously proportioned entertainment cabinet into something more practical from an ergonomic standpoint.

The entertainment cabinet before it's ergonomic makeover |
With the help of a saber saw and some well placed circular saw work a large chunk of the entertainment cabinet was severed and replaced with a jaunty piece of popular moulding to finish off my now leg-less entertainment cabinet.
