Introducing: The Integrated CSSU

/

I just finished off the most ambitious build to date and have launched the latest CSSU version… the Integrated CSSU which integrates audio into the CSSU concept: think gaming centers, turntable stands, entertainment units, etc.

The first unit was built as an entertainment center to house standard-width (17in) audio gear. It is a standard depth of 14in, but we can also build a deeper 18 or 20in version for deeper components. It features integrated 2-way acoustic-suspension speakers constructed as separate pieces prior to integration into the CSSU — they're quite robust… and they look, and sound, fantastic.

Some features of the series:

  • Traditional CSSU construction with anodized aluminum standards, optional adjustable feet, maple or birch main shelving with a choice of contrasting wood or colors.
  • 6.5in or 8in 2-way speakers with poly or kevlar woofers in an acoustic-suspension design
  • Dual-voice center channel and subwoofer (passive or active) available
  • White, frameless speaker grills
  • Adjustable center shelves
  • 18.5in bays to accommodate standard-width audio gear
  • Customizable speaker width (see below designs)

The first unit was constructed of Baltic birch main shelves with teak veneered speakers (6.5in poly cones). It features adjustable feet and comes in at 56(w)x14(d)x24(h). Click on the phots for larger, clearer versions and contact me if you're interested in spec-ing out your own Integrated CSSU.

Jennifer’s New Coffee Table

/

Jennifer contacted me a few weeks ago about some custom benches. She mentioned that she was eventually looking for a coffee table. As it turned out, I had some excess stock that suited the job quite well. I contacted her on Monday about the idea and sent her a comp-sketch and had it finished by Thursday afternoon.

Tom’s New Shelves

/

Tom dropped me a line after hearing good things from Brent about his own shelves.

I just pulled this off the workbench and the lighting isn't as nice under the shop-lights, but I wanted to get a post up as soon as I could. It's is a bit wider than standard at 55in wide. It features the same color palette as Eszter's with adjustable walnut feet.

Wire Base Stools

/

We sourced these great powder coated frames in black, gray and white and thought they'd make great stools — and they do.

I topped each with maple multi-ply (12in square) with a lacquer and
hand-rubbed wax finish. The stools stack for easy storage. They're 14in
sq at the base, sit 14in high and have a 12in square top.

We're using them in the nursery as a side table/foot rest, but they're easy to grab and tote from room to room.

For sale on Craigslist for $40 each.

Bench Prototype

/

When making the maple multi-ply topped stools, I was left with 3 very nice, new nylon-covered cushions which were original to the bases. What to do?

Make a bench, of course.

This one stands 16in high and is 38in long and 14in deep (the
cushions are 12in square). It is made of cumaru and multi-ply and joined
with pocket-screws and stainless steel face-screws capped with a
contrasting cumaru plug.

I'll be making more based on this design, but until then: anyone need
a bench? Until I get an Esty.com site set up it's for sale via Craigslist for $50.

CSSU // 2X2 Sample Price List (updated)

/

[Updated for 2022: Unfortunately global supply shortages have increased pricing on all items — especially building materials. In our case, the material cost has doubled. For instance: If the plywood sheet was $150, it's now $300. Sadly, the price of our shelving is very much tied to material cost and that has been reflected in the price list below. If the materials come back down agin (hopeful), we'll re-adjust. Feel free to ask about that when you order.]

Each piece we design ends up being custom to some degree, but it's good to know where a price might start. The 2X2 (two bays wide X two bays tall) seems to be the most popular option and I've drafted a spec-sheet and price list for it which will give you a good idea of the approximate price. Please contact me for a more accurate price and we can discuss options that might better fit your needs or budget.
