Shara Woodshop Diaries | How to Build a Mid Century Modern Console Cabinet @WoodshopDiaries | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 6 hours ago
Hey friends, let's build a Mid Century Modern Console! This was such a fun project made almost entirely from (you guessed it!) plywood!
You know me--I love a good plywood build, and the mid century vibe definitely fits my style. I hope you enjoy watching it come together as much as I enjoyed building it.
Keep an eye out for helpful tips along the way. This video is packed with them to help make this build easier.

Side note: I called this a Lowboy Console at the beginning of the video and, honestly, I thought "lowboy" just referred to a shorter-than-usual console (since this one is only 20" tall). But I've since looked up the definition and I think it technically has to have drawers to be considered a "lowboy." I mean...at the end of the day, who cares what you call it. But just in case anyone wants to correct me, don't worry. I've corrected myself before you got the chance HA!
