Does anyone know of an online retailer that sells a box that is blind mounted to the wal to store A/V equipment. The boxes would preferably be made out of an interesting harwood and have inside dimensions similar to the size of a DVD player, or surround sound processor that could be mounted beneath a wall mounted plasma television set. Thanks.
Why is it
that the local cabinetmaker sits in his shop window, waiting in vain for his neighbor to come to him with a simple request like this one, while the neighbor sits in front of his screen and searches in vain the world over for something he can order without having to speak to anybody ?
Just asking. . .
Local Cabinetmaker
I would love to use a local cabinetmaker but unfortunately in Southwest Florida there is a real dearth of qualified craftsmen, and those that are here suffer from one or more of the following afflictions. (A.) They never call you back. (B.) They think that every potential client is a multi-millionaire retiree with unlimited funds and, (C.) They think they should make a months pay on the fabrication of some simple boxes, which of course relates directly to point (B.) Not to put too fine a point on it, but I would love to deal with someone locally, but alas finding someone who is a fair-dealer and operates in an ethical fashion has proven as about as easy as the restoration of FLW's "Fallingwater", and just as frustrating. Thus my request to this forum.
BTM:
I find this link today on another thread; is this the sort of thing you need ?

(Remember that
a box seventeen inches deep and only six inches high -- if that is the dimension needed for a typical piece of AV equipment -- to be cantilevered off the wall, is flirting with the limits of structural reality -- depending on the weight of the equipment and the wall structure involved, among other things. . .)
if you are at all handy
you could tyou could try making a french cleat or source the things below. you could then find a box that lends itselfto this type of hangning.
you would have to hide the offset that it creates though.

Aaand. . .
my preferred solution to a cantilevered shelf or other weight-bearing construction, is to locate and pierce the wall studs with a bar or pipe that projects from the wall, over which is slipped the (hollow) shelf or object. I have done this several times, and it works quite impressively.
