Well the rack is coming along and right now the stain is applied and two coats of protective sealer. I hope to have the final coat of protective coating to be placed on the unit this weekend. I’ve included a few follow-up pictures from the project.

DVD Storage follow-up
Jul 30
DVD Storage Day #1
Jul 20
This wasn’t as EASY as I thought it was going to be with the tools and items I had to work with. I was able to layout the frame and attach the back board to the frame. With that completed I was able to establish a solid frame and began to place in the first shelf before it got to dark to proceed any further.

Alas I will continue tomorrow and hopefully finish up the rest and then move on the point where I can fill the holes with wood filler let it dry and then sand on Day #3.
NOTE: The photos look horrible thanks to the iPhone 3GS and the low light issues…
Building a DVD storage rack
Jul 19
Well my Girlfriend and I have decided to build out a new DVD storage rack since my other piece of crap made from MDF just fell apart when I tried to move it to her place. Today we went to Home Depot and picked up the supplies to make a 6″ tall by 4″ wide DVD shelf which should net me storage for 500+ DVDs. All the wood is here and while she is out next week in Myrtle Beach getting a short vacation before the hectic school year starts, I will be building out the unit in the garage. She wants it stained Ebony with a semi-gloss protective coating. I am interested to see how it turns out since it has been about a year since I’ve last built something from scratch. I will be posting photos along the way so stay tuned!
Tonight my lovely girlfriend, a few friends, and I decided to grab a bite to eat prior to seeing the new Harry Potter movie. Before dinner we decided to try out a new Greek place my friend Shannon had recommended. The place looked semi shady from the outside but it was in a nice area I am familiar with so I figured it cannot be that bad. The food was great and priced well, the lamb shank was cooked well and very flavorful for a place that seems to thrive in take out business. I’ve attached a photo of it for reference but alas no smellovision for the iPhone yet..
My Lamb Shank Dinner!
After filling up on decent Greek food we all headed to the movies to catch the flick. All in all the movie didn’t disappoint and held true to the previous Harry Potter movies. This movie does have a sad ending but any book reading fans will already know this. Now that it’s over with and done I can’t wait for the two part final movie to come out. Yet I honestly can’t wait for this series to end so something new can come out and take it’s place.
Alas arrived home around 1AM exhausted and ready for some much needed sleep with my Monkey (My Girlfriend’s Pet name).
