And the idea is to how's it in here but if you just put it in it would be to -- so what we're gonna do is we're gonna. Design and build an insert that little retro fit this thing to act. As an entertainment center will have the TV up higher room for VCR and -- flank it on either side with storage for. Tapes but let's go down to the workshop and we'll hook up with Bob Riley who's already got a little bit to start. On the project. And we'll show you how to do it. -- About how they're gonna got. So you've already got a head start on us here with our. Set of shelves yes and it appears -- let's look at this a -- is the the the actual thing that we're building if you will is composed of -- verticals. And three or four hours Donald is basically a box the shelves. That we're going to be bidding together in the key is to -- it and to have the kind of joints that'll give you lots of strength that's what you've been working on right now is.

The areas where the shelves themselves go we'll skip that Lou that is imminent. OK that's good the other side."

" Okay."
" Now -- will -- our shelves and into the slots before we're gonna from. Fasten them also with an elegant. OK can now can we put in the the central shelf yeah central us. And these are fitting in nice and snug little ones we don't need to lose the granting that the spread that -- And him."

" When the armoire is open. So rather than leave the undressed edge of the plywood. We're going to take a little bit more that cherry rip it down and dress it up."
" Tape. And turning it. The last piece. There. And rule. -- expect within a couple of finished news."
" Just about there. And there should be a little bit of place finish some way this was. That design so that will be lots of air circulation problem you -- electronic equipment. Compared to go around."
