The television unit is complete! As with all DIY jobs, it conformed to Alan B's First Rule of DIY. It also, fully complied with Alan B's Second Law of DIY, which is that, for every DIY job you undertake, you will need to spend 25% of the value of the item which is being DIY'd on tools and related items. So, for the television unit, I required to purchase a jig saw, a G clamp and a countersink.
At any event, the unit looks rather nice, proudly supporting the telly in the kitchen. I feel that I have freed the little pieces of flat pack wood from the confines of their cardboard box. I think they were sad in there, having all the potential to be a television unit, but unfulfilled, like the janitor bloke that was a physics genius in that film with Robin Williams. But I set them free. I helped them be all that they could be; to be happy in the form they were built to be in. In many ways I am the bearded and professorial Robin Williams figure of the flatpack furniture world
