B. Cahill, Inc.
has crafted fine furniture and cabinetry for over 20 years. In addition
to constructing new furniture and cabinetry we also repair furniture
and restore antiques.
Plasma panel installed in antique cabinet with lift mechanism. Mounted facing the rear for
use behind a sofa in the middle
of a room. Television will be viewed by people sitting
facing the front of the sofa.
Viewed from front of cabinet as it would be behind sofa.
Antique cabinet in
original condition.
Original top removed and saved, a
new top is fabricated with a removable panel. A box is
fabricated to conceal lift
maechanis and eliminate pinch points.
Box is weighted to equal plasma
and top and box are fitted and adjusted.
Removable panel is fitted and top
and panel are finished and distressed to match original.
Lift mechanism is
raised and lowered to check, travel, fit, and finish.
When plasma is in the down
position the panel fits so well that it looks like an ordinary
antique cabinet
Tolerances are kept close to
eliminate dangerous pinch points.
Looks like an ordinary old
antique cabinet top.
The complete and finished
project ready for the clients home, 2002.
