Thanks, Steve! I'm glad you enjoyed following the build.
Dutchy commented about 1 hour ago new A beautiful media console with some nice ideas. Although I like your solution, I would not have done the row drilling parrelel at the front, but perpendicular to the bottom.
Much appreciated, Dutchy! Yeah, I did ponder the shelf pin layout for a while. I had some requirements that kind of made the leaning lines of pins a necessity: Detents on the bottom of each shelf to lock them in place on the pins, identically-made shelves, and shelf front edges equally recessed from the sides regardless of position. If I had eliminated the detents, then lines of vertical shelf pins would have been just fine. (and more straightforward to make!)
