    Media Case

    By Bob Chapla
    This media case was designed primarily to house CDs, but it will satisfy storage requirements for DVDs, VCR tapes, and a knick-knack or two. Fold-out shelves help the organizing process, and the case closes to provide a near dust-free environment.

    Cut Out Patterns


    dadoes, as shown in photo B. Step Find the side top and bottom 3 patterns in the pattern packet. Cut them out on the band saw, as shown in photo C. Be careful that the dadoes are on the inside face and that the top end of the side corresponds to the proper dado spacing. An alternative approach would be to cut the end patterns, then cut the dadoes, which would mean reversing steps 2 and 3.

    Trace Patterns
    Cut the top trim pieces (F) and the handles (G) to the dimensions given in the material list. Find the patterns for the top trim and handle in the pattern packet, and trace onto the wood, as shown in photo D. Grain direction is important on these pieces, so you may find it helpful to make copies of the patterns onto a transparent media like mylar or tracing paper. This allows for visibility of the wood.
    Step 4

    Miter and Cut


    Cut out the handle patterns on the band saw, using a wide blade to minimize sanding. The handle is best cut using a combination of miter saw for the outside corners, then band saw for the rest, as shown in photo E and its inset. Sand all the cut edges smooth. The top trim pieces (F) are Step 6 cut out on the band saw as shown in photo F. Sand the edges smooth.

    your particular needs. To hold CDs, cut a series of five 716"-wide by 516"deep grooves across the length of the tray, starting 916" from the front edge and 716" apart, as shown in photo N. For a handy snack (or hold anything) tray, remove the 716"-wide material left standing between the slots, as shown in photo N inset.

    Attach Trim
    Cut the tray trim (K) to the dimensions given in the material list. After the material is removed from the snack type flip-down tray, as described in step 17, the trim can be glued onto the ends, as shown in photo O. The use and location of your case should dictate how these trays are designed.

    Customize Flip-Down Trays


    The trays that flip down off the pull-out shelves can be designed to suit your particular needs. One of the trays in this case is cut with slots to hold CDs in a slightly slanted position, as shown in the photo. The other tray can function as a mini-end table.
