Re-Purpose Project: Step 1

So now I am up to this project I had lined up for myself. This is a solid oak entertainment center that no one wanted. I am going to make something new out of it with the addition of that stair tread you see sitting on top. Let's see how fast you can guess what it will inevitably be when it's finished.

Step 1:
I first measured and cut the stair tread to fit into the back of the cabinet. You'll see why later. Then I painted the outside of the cabinet and the stair tread with primer paint. Of course this will take time to dry.

And yes, as you see I have set up my project in the middle of the living room in the front part of the house. Don't worry, my family is used to me doing this kind of thing in the middle of where they are trying to live. Also I have no idea how long this will take.
