Woodworking - Building an Entertainment Center with The Kreg Jig

This is the first big project that I will be building with my
Kreg Toolbox Master Collection Model 

Problem: No good place to put the surround sound receiver, subwoofer, Xbox, Blu Ray player, and satellite receiver. We kind of just stuck it in the corner and hoped that it wouldn't fall down and  with a little house guest on the way, I wanted to come up with a more permanent, and safe solution to storing all of our living room electronics. 

Solution: I took the free book shelf plans from www.kregtool.com and modified them to make a custom built entertainment center for the living room. 

Step 1 - Build a face frame
I used 1x poplar for the face frame


Step 2 - Build 1 side and attach to the face frame
I used 3/4" oak veneer plywood for the sides
Step 3 - Build 3 shelves and attach to face frame and one side

Step 4 - Attach other side piece to shelves and face frame


Step 5 - Attach the top and it's all over but the shouting
Now I just have to pick what finish I want to put on it...can you say floor stain?
