Our First Three Projects! | Printer Stand, Sewing Table, Entertainment Center

Very nice! The sewing table top came out great! Did you do a 1/4 round routed edge on the underside of it? Can't tell, but it looks really cool.
 
The entertainment center came out great too! What'd you end up doing to attach the door frames together? Did you do a mortise and tenon or just pockets from the back? Also - what brand/type of paint did you use? I can't get that kind of shine from any paint I've bought recently... Maybe it's just the flash, but it looks glossier than anything I have...

Thanks for the kind words, Jon!  To answer your questions:
 
The top of the sewing table was actually reused from an old coffee table that my wife got when she was in college some years ago.  It was the only material on that coffee table that was actually wood!    She sanded that sucker down to the raw wood, stained it and then used teak oil for the shine.
 
I assembled the doors with a kreg jig and a router, with 1x3s and glass panes.  I had the left and right sides be the rails, with the top and bottom sides as stiles.  I found a place that sells tempered glass panels online (usually used by stores for displays and the like), that was 3/16" thick.  So I used a 3/16" bit on my router table and cut from end to end on the stiles, and inside 2" from both ends of the rails.  I had to make it slightly larger than 3/16" in the cut, so I put the fence slightly off-center and made a pass, then flipped the board around 180-degrees and made a second pass.  I needed to leave some solid un-routed wood at the top and bottom of the rails to have a nice solid join with the stiles.  So I routed all four pieces, put three of them together (rail and two stiles), slid the glass in and then secured the second rail to the other side of the stiles.  I think it came out really well!
 
As for the paint, that is Behr Premium Plus Ultra (the one with the primer included) in "Enchanted Evening."  It's just eggshell paint though - we actually put some water-based Minwax polyurethane on it as well to protect the paint and give it a bit more shine - glad that it seemed to work well!
 
Thanks again for your feedback, Jon!

teak oil looks awesome on there... have to remember that finishing technique...
 
So on the doors, did you end up routing into the edges a little deeper than the glass area would take up but just not going all the way through the sides or do you have another method to get a squared stopping point in the routing for the glass? I've done something similar (not for doors or glass even) but never had a good method to get a square stopping point (saw curve always would dig in past where I needed the cut to go - and in my case generally would go to far and end up with end of piece blowout :( Sounds like the doors took some skills either way...
 
I am going to have to try some poly on paint.. I never even thought of that. No issues with it adhering? 

Very good job on those projects.  You have been busy.
 

Thanks, Amanda.
 
Jon, regarding the door assembly - I used a 3/16" straight bit and made a total of four passes per piece of wood.  Two at about 3/16" deep and another two at 3/8" deep to avoid making the router work too hard and to get the slot just a bit wider than 3/16".  For the rails I marked 2" from either end on the edge of the board opposite the side I was routing, and lifted the piece of wood off the router table once it got to that point.  I also started it by pressing the wood against the bit at the first 2" mark.  For the stiles, as I said, I was able to go straight from one end to the other so that was less of a concern there.  I still made four passes but it was much easier to go all the way through!
Basically I had designed the doors to have a 11 1/4" by 15 1/4" opening to accommodate the 12x16 glass pane with 3/8" overhang on each side, so when the rails and stiles come together they fit snugly against the glass.  I'm not sure I explained that ok - does it make sense?
 
And so far so good on the paint/poly.  Stuck really well!
