Floating Oak Plywood Entertainment Unit
PLANS AVAILABLE HERE: gum.co/IGvmH
For this project I wanted a clean, minimal entertainment unit to go on our feature wall and bring focus to the material rather than the design of the piece itself. I used Oak veneer birch plywood which has a super clean grain so I decided to make the front panel one long piece instead of 3 separate panels.
There is a good amount of storage for devices and I have run HDMI cables through the wall from the TV to inside the unit so there are no visible cables. I also used the bristles from a draught stopper that goes on doors to give a clean cable entry for the soundbar on top that sits on top of the unit.
I used french cleats to hang it onto the walls. Luckily I had a lot of studs in the wall so mounting it was quite easy and it turned out a lot stronger than I expected.

As someone who grew up in a family of a cabinet maker I love that you kept the clean wood and even plywood and not painted everything white!
There are lots of ideas for installing a floating shelf. Your shelf has strength but allows for storage and aesthetic versatility. One can hang the flat screen tv on the wall of rest it on the shelf. Your unit was very well done. Thanks for posting your build process and installation of the shelf. Well done!
That’s not only excellent craftsmanship but it’s also a rugged work of art! The tools you have are next level! Inspiring!!!
Great video and a beautiful peace of furniture! Using the screwdriver to round off the edges just this little bit was 🤯!
Laying down on it answered any questions i had. 👍👍👍👍 Beautiful work Sir.
Très beau, très épuré, j’adore ce style de meuble de salon. Ça me donne envie de continuer à m’équiper en matériel pour réaliser ses propres meubles. Félicitations 👏🏼
You make it look easy, and correct alignment, being in square and hinging the door was perfect. Beautiful job. Congrats! Cheers, Sean
Thanks Sean
Gud
this was incredibly relaxing to watch.
I just built and hung a desk on my daughters wall using french cleats. This was my first time and I was too very surprised at how strong they are. Great work very good inspiration.
Great to hear. Thanks for the comment
Very tasteful. Love the wall color with the light wood.
Unbelievable finished product, well done friend
Asombroso y muy limpio tu trabajo. Amazing and very clean job! Felicidades!
Such a smart and efficient build. Thanks for sharing.
Superb video, there was not background music, no chit chat at all, the manufacturing procedure was straight to the point. KUDOS! You have a new subscriber.
Felicitaciones!! Te quedo excelente, saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪.
That Plywood is so pretty!! Great build video too!
Good video and amazing work. It looks very elegant. Unfortunately this is too complex to build for an average person specially without those tools. Thanks for sharing your work.
Simply Irrisistible. Thanks from México.
The best part .. I lay down to relax .. rssssss .. !! WONDERFUL WORK !! Greetings from Brazil!
French Cleat system, bloody awesome, well done.
Nice piece! Didn’t realize how strong French cleats are! Good to know.
My wife doubted French cleats before...and once i showed her...she's really surprised
samanimeguy23 I’ll definitely try it! Thanks!
This was pretty great. I saw a more recent video and you sure have come a long way in just one year! The burnishing technique you did in this build as well as the dust brush for the cords was awesome. Thanks so much!
Your shop is amazingly efficient and organized.
Thanks!
Excelente trabajo bien realizado y trabajas muy limpio te felicito , un lujo de taller tienes amigo muy bien equipado , saludos

Dude! Its been too long! thanks man, appreciate the support. Hope you're doing well!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and good job.
This was phenomenal. I'm inspired to do the French Cleat for when I make mine, eventually.
How freaking beautiful this project was.
Thank you very much!
Your work is meticulous. Nice job, buddy!
Very great job! It's wonderful👍
Absolutely amazing! How can 12 people dislike this? Love the modern look. The grove indent for the handle to open, was genius.
Haha thank you very much :)
OCD. It's not centered under the TV.
Awesome piece of furniture, though so simple. Simplicity in this case is eye catching.........good on you
Thank you!
Timmeh! You and Mark from Dainer Designs are my favourite Aussie KZhead woodworkers! Well, there are a lot of great Aussie woodworkers on KZhead... but you two are *awesome!* Such inspiring! Much amaze! Very OMG!
ps Tim is from New Zealand 😁
Thank you very much Isa. I have to correct you that I am in New Zealand not Australia :)
Close enough 😅

Thanks very much!
very nice job and really inspiring!
wow the idea is really cool. . success and nice to meet you
Thanks for the tutorial..i like the show from step by step..
Excellent; I'll definitely make one like this.
Love those hinges
That looks pretty good.. I was looking for a simple but strong way to hang kitchen cabinets..I think I just found it. Thanks.
French cleats are a good and common way to hang kitchen cabinets
wow, excellent..!! love it , looking forward for another project
Thanks!
Wow! Beautiful
Haha, i was watching the Video and when i saw the you guys walking pass power meter box when taking the unit inside, i was thinking it was NZ. Keep up the great work, i've made heaps of furniture from Birch Ply, its a great material, as a Cabinetmaker, i enjoy stable ply over timber
Haha good eye! Thanks for the message!
Same thought exactly - "This bloke's in NZ!"
Muito bonito este projeto...
Never consider a French cleat for a floating shelf like that. Brilliant
Fantastic job. Thank you for the share!
Awesome work!!!
Bravissimo bel lavoro 👍
Excellent. I like the screwdriver trick on the mitres, doesn’t work too well on Doug Fir though
Perfect for ply though.
fantastic stuff as always
Thanks Kyle!
Exactly what I was searching for. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
this is AWESOME... nicely done
Thanks!
This is excellent man! and dope ass Drill press.
Looks great! You always have the best plywood. Way more plys than the big box store offering. I learned something while watching you build it that I will use. Use a scrap straight edge as you're flush bit guide looks alot easier than trying to clamp a guide offset the diameter of the router table thing.
Thanks! I prefer to use birch plywood for furniture pieces. it has much cleaner ply and stronger. Glad you were able to take something from this video :)
very nice. and the Shaun Boyd test at 13:45! ha ha! very nice looking and incredibly strong.
Haha maybe with a few extra kilos :P. Thanks man
13:40 He's not gonna -- he is! And it's supporting him! OK all concerns about the French cleat have been answered
Haha! I was pleasantly surprised myself with the strength of it
In the same boat man.
*cold sweating*
Looks great!
amazing bro, look nice, I love it
Epic work bro! Loving your channel Keep it up 👍
Thanks Jeff!
Curious as to the depth and height you went with... Also would love those plans when they're ready!
Sweet outcome.
Nice design i am going to make a try at my home thanks for giving a idea for making it
Thanks! All the best for your project
buenisimoooo !! very fine !!! what kind of disc you use to cut like that is a very clean cut no marks on the playwood how many theeths ???? wich do you recomend me ???
Excellent job
All I have to say beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Nice work man
Nice. Lucky your back wall is pretty straight....
Love your work mate
Cheers Kurt!
Great job
Nice job👍
Классная мастерская!
the one I like in your channel is that you dont need to have a background music ☝️
awesome job
I would like to know what hinges you used.Great cabinet
love the project
Wow that’s amazing
Perfection!
Какой порядок в мастерской, супер
Very impressive
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Looks great. Wanted one of these but my layout doesn't allow it.
It's amazing!!!
great job out there, but I still believe that, if you choose floating shelves method screwing it from the bottom would've been more stronger than french cleat. I like and I use too much french cleats but I don't recomend it for heavy duties. thats me. But in the end, It turned sooo gorgeous. Well done.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I have to get going with my rather constrained built but your idea of using the draught stopper is fantastic! One thing that did have me biting my nails was your technique with the table saw. Please brush up on the safety aspects by watching some very pertinent videos on that. Also use of a dust mask when working with fine dust and gaseous things. Cheers.
had to scroll way too far to see this. absolutely unsafe handling with that table saw. Just needs to use a push stick.
Nice work 😃👌
that was Perfect, man,....wow...great job
