Progress!
I'm usually a painfully slow builder. But actually bought the boards yesterday afternoon, cut the lengths, drilled the dowel holes, and started the initial glue up phases in just a few hours.
Side leg assembly:
Top surface support box:
Final assembly:
Will slightly round off the edges with the router and finish it with shellac and thinned poly. Totally overkill for something that'll be hidden behind my TV but, eh, it'll be really satisfying to see a nice finished product!

quoting note12p0…6j8uNext side project: I'm changing up my audio setup and need a little table to go directly behind my TV so I can have my center channel right at the top edge of the screen.
And, of course, why shop when I can just build it myself with just a few inexpensive 2"x2" and 1"x3" boards!
I'm thinking I'll do the whole thing with dowel joinery to level up beyond pocket holes. I'll probably just drop a piece of plywood on top, but if I ever retire this audio setup, I can add an actual tabletop and use it as a hallway table or something.
I freakin' love SketchUp to think through these simple builds. And it's funny how they always insert a person for scale. First time I've seen this dinosaur shirt dude w/a ukelele!
