Tryde Media Console

Hey thats really good to see ? Just a quick question, can we use some plywood while creating this type of cabinet? how it would look like ?
Though i bought my bedroom furniture with a plywood table, i doubt how this cabinet would feel like.

This is beautiful! I don't need a tv console, but now I'm wishing I could get rid of mine and build this!!! Hahahahaha!

Quick question though... On step 8, you mention marking a screw pattern so it looks decorative attaching the top boards. Why wouldn't you just screw from underneath? Or is that much easier SAID than done?

not sure if you noticed but your pdf still says "storage bed tower" from the last post...

Jennifer, you absolutely could screw from underneath . . . better yet, build your tabletop with pocket hole screws first, than glue and attach with just a few screws from underneath. However, I try to give the absolutely easiest method, and then hope people with more advanced skills/tools can make the customizations that they want. The main issue I see with screwing from underneath is not getting your drill inside those cubbies.

As far as screwing from the top, be aware that even the Pottery Barn Hyde Collection has screws showing at the end of every single top board, its part of the look and the character of the piece. You won't need many screws with the right application of glue, two per end would do.

I just built the Tryde Coffee Table tonight and will be making the other pieces in the collection hopefully in the next week. I was so excited to see this tonight because we were talking about what we could do for a media center. I love these plans. I'm confused though... Are there no plans for the top piece yet or did I miss them somewhere along the way? Thanks for the great plans! You've inspired a few girls to get out and build something as the hubs sit back and watch... and laugh a little.

I have built the Tryde Coffee Table and the Tryde end tables, both are easy and look great. I am considering making the Media Console. Will you be posting plans for the top half? I can only find plans for the lower half.

Thanks — these plans look great! I'm putting together a shopping list even now for an embiggened version (my home theater equipment is too deep for a 15.5" box). However, I noticed while trying to download the plans that they're in Scribd's "Archive" section, which recently was put behind a paywall. Would it be possible for you to make these plans available another way?

Andrew, I'm so sorry! I have this file uploaded to here http://ana-white.com/PDF%20PLANS/Knock-Off%20Wood%20tryde%20media%20cons... and here http://ana-white.com/PDF%20PLANS/Knock-Off%20Wood%20Tryde%20Media%20Cons... Hope this helps! Ana

[...] perhaps he could find a design that he could modify to his specs? He did. In fact, not only did he find something, but he actually made the console all while I was gone at Art Weekend on Saturday. I was so [...]

I need a buffet for my dining room. I'd make this taller for this use, but wouldn't want the open compartments. Can this easily accomodate adding doors/drawers? It would be my first build and I'm clueless!

Hubby and i recently got a flat screen tv for our christmas present for each other. So a tv console is deffinatly needed. We have currently built the hyde coffee table so this would deffinatly go very well with that piece. We only want the base the hutch part would overwhelm the space. But, would it be hard to attach doors to it?? That way little fingers arent tempted to mess with expensive components.

Quick question- where are the detailed plans? The drawing isn't enough to get the depth of the box. The plans at the bottom of the page are for the Brookstone desk. This is the one I'd really like to build, but without more info I'm not sure how to do it.

Thanks!

Hey, Ana! I've been obsessing over this site since I found it 2 weeks ago. I'm in the process of setting up my garage work space and this media console is going to be one of my first projects. I downloaded the .pdf file and the shopping list calls for a 1x12 @ 6' but then it doesn't appear on the cut list or anywhere in the plans. Am I missing something? I do that sometimes, haha.

Hi,
i stumbled across the plans to build this media console but can only find the instructions for the hutch. Is there anyway someone can send me a link or tell me where I can find the specific plans?

The link posted on this site just opens a pdf. with a bunch of symbols and letters.

Thanks all!
