Our story earlier this year about the midcentury modern-style TV cabinet that Jeff built for his modern flat-screen led to two more commissions for this handy woodworker. Jeff wrote:
Pam-
I thought I’d send you an update about some the cabinets I built (thanks to your post). I just finished one for Seattle and another for Napa, California. The larger one was custom built for an existing TV (required some design changes) and the smaller one was the same as the one I build for my wife (though I think it turned out better than hers!).
You asked earlier if I had a picture of my wife and me. I don’t have that, but my wife did get one shot of me with the new cabinets. I’ve attached it.
Thanks for your post, and I love your site.

Niiiiiiiice!
Thanks for the update, Jeff, you are rockin’ my mid mod mad world!

I love these cabinets! Such a difference from the very boring TV cabinets of today. You are very talented Jeff.
I would like to purchase one from him. May we have his contact info?

These are great!
Jeff you are creating gorgeous modern MCM masterpieces!
Wow I love them! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship!
I’m the guy in Napa that he built a cabinet for. I love it! Great craftsmanship an attention to detail! My advice to anyone considering it . . .DO IT. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Jeff, you’re the man!!!

But for a true vintage TV viewing experience one must give up the remote and get up to change the channel on a regular basis 😊!
Oh, Phyllis! that’s what you had kids for! And it seemed to be a legacy chore passed down from older siblings (under threat of dire consequences if you didn’t comply.)
I love these. I thought I had the idea about a year ago, but there is always someone a step ahead. 🙂
We are considering purchasing a 1970 time capsule home, so I might try to wing it and create a 1970s version some time in the future.
Jeff, you do fantastic work…very inspiring to see and you should be proud of how many of us are impressed. TVs definitely need some dressing up these days. Nice job.
A brilliant execution of re-creating a MCM look for modern technology! I have been laboring over how to do something like that with the furniture housing from my father’s 1965 Dumont color TV that I inherited. I plan on using it in my “time capsule” 1966 chalet!! Truly spectacular! Keep up the good work!
Jeff you are truly an artist, these are beautiful.
I am happy to see this new old trend! I am almost 54 and I grew up with big tv consoles….that is until small portable tvs came into play. Love your woodworking skills!
Hi Jeff, I recently emailed you about purchasing one. I hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks!

Here’s a thought………those big old stereo consoles might also be modified to hold a modern flat panel television. They’re nice and wide for today’s rectangular screens..You could even install a sound bar behind the speaker area.
I really appreciate all the encouraging comments! Thanks to this post, I’ve created a business to build and sell these cabinets (and others similar). You can now check out my work at deluxefurnitureco.com. Follow me on Instragram for updates and the building process!
