Woodworking project at home

We have a solid oak (some plywood) TV stand - well built and expensive when we bought it. It’s big downside these days is no large screen TV fits it. Over the years I have had to remove the doors etc to make a 40" TV fit, so our goal was to cut it down and have the TV sit on top. Also as the first picture shows the inside was just a dust magnet…

Before:

After the top was removed we measured twice and clamped a straight edge to the sides and I used a circular saw to cut sown the sides:

Finished - it will now take a 55" to 58" TV on top depending on the legs and we have a space to hide the sound-bar and electronics.

Really nice work. The modified version looks like it was designed to be that way.

Also love this. Looks perfect and I’m sure you didn’t even have to worry about any sort of finishing. Great way to adapt a solid piece of good furniture.
