A beginning picture of the cabinet in process, just to have something published to the web.

The cabinet is made out of 3/4" plywood, sanded, with 5 coats of primer, and 4 coats of Coalmine Black paint, and now 3 coats of polyurethane.  You can not see wood grain at all on the main cabinet.    I  did not use laminate or T-molding, I used a 1/4" round over router bit on the entire cabinet.  The only place you can see wood grain is on the 1/4 round molding, which is holding the glass and bezel in front of the TV., but I am not done with that yet. 

The control panel open away from the monitor, so the joysticks won't break the glass if it was let go accidentally.
