Custom Media cabinet

[JohnThomas]

I’m currently working on having a media cabinet built by the Amish. It will be one piece unit solid cherry 85 W x 30H x 22D (eight compartments). This will hold all of my McIntosh equipment. There will be no back panel for easy access and ventilation. I’m having a hard time finding the black wire mess that Salamander uses on its door cabinets. I need this for ventilation. I was wondering if any one has every had one built with the mesh doors or possibly know of any company that sells that material?

JohnThomas.......Do a Google search on Decorative Wire Mesh. There's plenty of sites with all kinds of wire mesh. Here's just one I found: Joinery and Cabinet Making

Kind of sacrilege for the Amish to build something for that purpose, eh?

Thanks guys for all the help and links. Looks like a change of plans as far as the wire mesh goes. It will be 4 glass doors in the front like the picture enclosed only bigger. The side panels will be doors that open 120 degrees for ventilation as well as opening to load equipment if needed and no back. Unfortunately it will be 87” wide to fit all my equipment; it will be 36” high. 4” furniture base, 1 ½ “thick cherry top and 30 ½ opening inside and 22” deep. Not the most ideal measurements for audiophile setup. My speakers will be 60” apart and 16" in front of the cabinet.
