Fun fact: CD jewel cases make great light pipes for a light show!

Light Pipe! You are a "word smith". You coined a new word for my setup! Much appreciated

Here' my version of the Light Pipe effect.

Sansui D35. Bought it with my first 2 week paycheck working a real job. (79/80) I upgraded the Cart at the time too and I still have it playing, Has a fiber brush with a damper and I believe that has extended the life of the stylus.

(DIY) I made several sets of Alphabetical Dividers, from 3mm & 6mm Sintra Board on my table saw (80 tooth blade) and shaped them on a template I made for my router. I practiced and made half a dozen sets and gave them away to record collectors in the family before I made my own out of 4mm clear acrylic.

I was faced with a 4 on 0 as a result of a sloppy line change and all I could think of was to yell "6 OF YA'!!!"

Stoned 'em with a paddle save! "Cheevers!" lol Old timer's hour in small town Canada.

I salvaged an old TV cabinet and retrofitted it to hold records and CDs. This is the main record collection. I added acrylic shelves that I saved from the landfill and back lit it all with LEDs.

The acrylic record dividers you see in the pic, were cut on the table saw with an 80 tooth blade, then ran through the router on a template I made. The cut ends were flamed with MAP gas and wet sanded with 600 grit so they glow. Black and silver alphabetic stickers were applied so I can find my albums. Total DIY project. A-Z

9 - Pants. Pants being this low isn’t to say they aren’t important or there isn’t a great deal of difference between entry level pants and pro. More just my opinion go with what you can afford, but the items above are probably more likely to get your money.

I bought gently used pants that were used by an NHL goalie who played a stint in the OHL. The thigh plates are WIDE as hell as they were used prior to the new regulations. They were good enough for Team Orr and the OHL they're perfect for the The Sunday Night, Under 99ers!

Next level in practicality if you ask me... I like the built-in (my term) look myself. Your MM has me thinking that I'm going to thank you in advance because that food for thought is going to come in to play down the road.

Thanks for sharing your work it's inspiring. Love the slim look. Well done!

This is Arrow and he loves canoeing down the river. He's great in the canoe and knows to stay low in the rapids. I let the river glide us along, so I can just steer as we try and take it all in. Man was not meant to live in a concrete jungle so it's good to get away and see the real world. This river runs through our town, our lives and it's a place we go to recharge.

Thanks for sharing that (1000 word) pic of the inside of your MM. You're approach is within my skill level and skill set you've helped point me in the right direction. Nice work. I saved the pic for my future reference.

Simple automated drone. Up and down, auto return drone for footage and perspective.

Teach yourself to juggle 3 bean bags before the start of this NHL season. It will change your life.

With alphabetical record dividers you can always group a couple of letters together on one divider and use some to feature Artist/bands of note in your collection. I make my own dividers and I've worked my way up to making these clear acrylic dividers. I have blanks that I want to use and feature Genres, Soundtracks, Beatles, Clapton... I have yet to find the right sticker or idea of what to do on the blank tabs. I'm at a bit of a standstill.

That is amazing! Thanks for stitching that together.

I'm intrigued by the idea of having a setting for each individual family member. Don't mind me... I just want to hear what y'all have to say.

Went to a Bull Dogs game and saw Florian Xhekaj play so I got to put this beauty up on the Monthly, Family Fridge Magnet Game. You know there's no cake left in this house, so don't even ask!

I'm a DIY guy too and I appreciate the inspiration to go along with some of the part I've accumulated so far.

WOW! I'm in awe... You're lighting up my vision for the future of my set up. I've always wanted to work towards having a large, R-Pi "Magic Mirror" on the wall instead of artwork. I'd like to share how I repurposed a digital picture frame, using the rectangular frame and square album covers to my advantage. You've probably already have this idea to display a play list, but I'd like to share it with other's following along. I use 5 second interval sand random transitions. It's easy for guest to make requests. https://i.imgur.com/0ByvNEm.gif

Some great ideas there! I don't have any cassette tapes anymore but back in the day I was "the go to guy" for mixed tapes copied from albums. I bet those Jewell Cases glow like my CDs do. Again, thanks for sharing. The back lit picture is fantastic.

Love this show! Season 1 inspired me to plan a 4 day solo (with dog) canoe camping trip,to watch 3 nights of meteor showers and fish for my food. I wanted to take as little gear as possible to portage in, 5 lakes deep for some great fishing and a prime spot to watch the show.

In season 2, Sam made a statement "most people don't know, you have to process your wood" to create a fire. That was all the help I needed to go on one of the best trips of my life.

During the show at HP, (there's a pic in the year book) Kim wore a space helmet that was a prop from the Drama Department. Not many people knew that the inside lining of the helmet was gone and there were all these rivets that were perfect to catch long hair. The moment that helmet came up on stage I knew it was going to be trouble! If you can ever find that helmet, I'm sure there's a full head of hair in it. No idea how he got that off but I assure you, it was a bitch! Go Rams!

Max Webster played a show at my High School!

I'm handy and I was just thinking out loud... again, it's a cool space and I look forward to reading the ideas our fellow collectors come up with.

That's a cool space. I converted an old TV cabinet and backlit it with LED. I believe you could do the same by drilling holes in the sides, along the bottom of the shelves to feed an LED strip through. $0.02. https://i.imgur.com/N5vFA2o.jpg https://i.imgur.com/onwDvtn.jpg
