2x4 and Jalousie Console

Using reclaimed 2x4s stored in our garage, old tempered privacy glass jalousies, and deep purple paint, I built a rear console to place behind our sofa in our home theater living room. :)

I consider this an Intermediate project, only because of the care needed to cut and install the glass. The items on the rear console top are fairly lightweight and the glass is short enough to hold firm on its supports.

Estimated Cost
$10 using reclaimed 2x4s, old jalousies, and supplies we already had
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Royal Purple semi-gloss paint
Recommended Skill Level
Intermediate

This is beautiful! I'm inspired to try building something with glass! I have an old display cabinet that I was thinking of giving away, but after seeing this I decided to disassemble and save the parts and make something out of it. :)
