So I’m wanting to finish my stand I’m tired of looking at it unfinished and so I the wife lol. This weekend would be perfect timing to finish it. Not the greatest wood worker I made the stand myself but don’t have a ton of tools. I love the white look. Any suggestions on making sides and doors easily for this?

Front and sides I will be removing that side since I don’t like it.
If it helps, I was able to skin my stand all with wood and trim from menards. Check out my 75 stand. They even had pre-made doors, just add handles and hinges :)

Oh wow that looks amazing! How did you cut the piece of wood behind the doors?

Find the center of the front, then lay the doors on it, trace around them, then measure in 1/2 inch all the way around, get a skill saw and start cuttin :)

Okay, did you use the same saw to cut all the wood around the stand?

We’ve got part of the skinning done. The side on the right is going to be where my apex and all my controllers go should look nice!

I have circled here over the crease and I will be drilling a whole there so all my cords will run through that to hide the crease.

Rather than cutting doors into your panels, how about attaching magnetic touch latches to all four corners of your stand? Then you don't have to fight around small doors to do your maintenance. When you want to maintenance your sump, you just push on the corners of the facia, and it pops out an inch or two and you can pull it all the way off... Easy Peasy..

Something like these:

She’s coming along now ran out of paint for the doors but there’s not much left to do. Besides the finishing touches.
