Obviously there will be more pics to follow. I still need to cut and secure the 4 dividers and of course sand and stain.
Rough cost including trim screws and a few special drill bits approx. $105

Bill, that is awesome!!!! :thumb:
Half my records are in boxes and the other half not even in the audio room. This looks a lot nicer than the rack plan I was looking at. Is it your own plan?
Looks like you've also started on the new audio room?
-
And at a very convenient height so you don;t hurt your back bending over. Now I guess you just need about 5-10 more of them :duh

Wow that is real nice. I have only a small LP collection but like Bob says, it is a back saver. Might be worth it to build one even for a small collection Hmmmmm :-s

I bet you if you knock out the Cinder blocks behind that nice album stand there will be a gateway to hell. :rofl:
Looks good! Time to get all the Zappa off the floor.

Ok, Bill, looks fantastic... I'll take two of them @ $210... I'll shoot you PayPal payment, unless you want to barter a cable or two... :rofl:
Cheers,

Yes on both counts Rich.
I had no real plans Rich I just kinda winged it. I hate to file my recent acquisitions in with the other 6,000 LP's because then they are all but lost in the racks. Now I'll be able to "easily" go thru the new arrivals and yes my bad back prompted this project. All my recent buys are in cardboard boxes and old milk crates on the floor which makes me walk right by them.
Here's a parts list as well as I can remember.
4x8 sheet sanded 1/2" ply. Big cuts done at Home Depot
2 Lengths 1" x 10' EMT
2 Lengths 1/2" x 10' EMT
3 5/16" x 6'. All thread
16 lock nuts 5/16"
4 1 1/8" rubber feet
1 3/4" x 6" pine board
I also bought a package of finishing screws. They look much better than using good old dry wall screws. Also allows me to disassemble if necessary.
I picked up a 3/4" hole saw and a 1 1/8" Fostner bit
Hope this helps.
Any other questions Rich ?? "Fire when ready Griswald"

BTW:
Each space is 12 3/4" wide by 16 3/4" deep and will hold approx. 90 LP's. If you do that they'll be diff. to flip. LOL

Haha Bob
I think most likely I would need to build another 15 to house all my vinyl.
Not gonna happen. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But that is just to house what you have now. By the time you finsh building the 15 you will have picked up enough new LPs to need at least one more. It will be a never ending cycle. :duh :rofl: :duh

Cool! Thanks for sharing your recipe! I'm sure the legs were a lot of work, but it really looks professional compared to 2x4 legs.
It would even be nice to have a one bay unit next to the TT to hold heavy rotations.

Rich I had considered these legs from IKEA. But there's not a store even remotely close to me and I hate to pay shipping.

The orange tempted you, right? :rofl:
I want to make a plan for this, but it might take a few days to work on it. I think your design is unique and compliments that other DIY record shelf design.

Two coats of stain and here we go. This is all the LP's I purchased since Sept. 2013
This is not it's final stop, it will go into the new HiFi room once completed.

Is the new room going to be dark wood?

That's not all that dark Gene. Not sure of anything yet as far as the room.

I'll be the first to admit. It sure puts mine to shame but with the money I saved I can buy more records. (http://daveyw.freeforums.org/images/smilies/jawdrop.gif)

Oddly there hasn't been one turntable visually that has made me one to get back into Vinyl. Only because of storage, but I have to admit these album racks kinda do. I thought that the first time I seen pumpkin's stand. :thumb:
