We got this strange email:
I make these.
thanks for looking,
pete @ x818
So we did look and pleasantly found that Pete designs cabinetry and is happy to give away the designs if you email him. We know very little else, except that his cabinet is super nice and easy to make: "I built this cabinet without power tools, other than a drill. Total cost was just over $200. Finished dimensions 58" wide, 25" high, 15" deep." He also has another. You can reach pete at pete (at) x818 (dot) com.

Does anyone know the weight capacity?
I just bought a 40 inch TV that weights 38 pounds. I want to build this piece, but would like to be sure it will hold the TV. Just finishing nails and glue makes me nervous
oss unit #3 and 4 credenzas designed by Pete are truly awesome!
This credenza design is exactly what I have been looking for, to replace an unsightly ugly boxy bookcase in my living room.
The one that I will make is a combined blueprint of his oss unit #3 and 4. For example, one will be as wide as unit #3, tall as unit #4, interior as unit #3. Instead of metal legs as pictured, I will use hairpin legs.
Instead of plexi-glass, I will design sliding doors made out of wood, for bottom. I will leave the top space open.
I will make sliding door tracks made out of wood.
Instead if using screws to assemble it together, I will use glue, biscuits and clamps.
Fortunately, I happen to have an old friend who shared a large woodshop with other wood craftsmen. The expense of one wood sheet won’t be a problem; I will purchase a nice one under his business discount.
He has all the proper tools such as table saw, etc. he will redesign the combined blueprints. He said it would a take a couple days to design one.
This, hopefully, will happen in April. I certainly will post some pictures.
