If I can offer some advice on ScottW330's speakers - although looking at the pictures he's worked this out - the uneven levels of sheen in the top speakers are caused by different rates of paint absorption in the wood. The slightly duller bits are the edges, and worked surfaces of the MDF, which don't have the same treatment as the normal faces. To prevent this sort of difference, your best bet is to give the whole thing a coat or two of primer before painting or spraying the topcoat. This will seal the wood evenly, and mean you get a uniform finish.

I really like that table. Simple and elegant. What sort of joinery did you use? I've been playing around with some types i don't normally use, like mortice and tenon joins recently, so I'd be interested to know how you did it.
