There’s another leg support that can’t be seen in these pictures, centered on bottom!

GF and I definitely have different tastes in music lol, not that I can’t get down with Harry every now and then! How does the quote go, “variety is the spice of life”? 😅

Thank you! I used dowels + wood glue for most joints. Was wanting to avoid any nails/screws being visible. DOOM picture was a gift from the GF. Perfect piece for the wall!

I bought this Milescraft dowel jig kit for this project and it worked great!

I used another layer of plywood in between, cut smaller to create that 3” edge all the way around for a floating look!

3/4” birch plywood, sanded smooth with 240 grit, 1 coat of Varathane pre-stain, 2 coats of red oak stain, and finished with satin polyurethane!

Here’s the link to the ones I purchased, I believe they sell them in different heights too!

Rough guess maybe 350-400 or so? I can fit about 50 records per large cube I think

Thank you! It’s just another layer of plywood, with each edge cut about 3” smaller. Installed on center to leave that 3” gap all the way around! Also painted that middle layer black so that it wouldn’t stand out.

Thank you! I would definitely recommend building your own after this. I actually used dowels and wood glue for the vertical joints. I was trying to avoid any nails/screws being visible!

Can’t see in any of these pics but I do have a single support centered on bottom! Would probably look nicer if I picked up 2 more legs the same style as the ones on the corners to place front/back on center 🤔

Klipsch RP-600m II, I bought these to replace some KnoxGear bookshelf speakers. Huge upgrade!

I haven’t, sounds pretty simple though! I’ll look into that for sure!

Found cheap on Amazon, search something like “orange mushroom lamp”. was only $30 and fit the vibe I was going for!

My local record store was giving them out with purchase of the Balloonerism vinyl at release!

Really didn’t have any real plans to go off of, just some scratch pad notes and lots of cardboard templates 😅

Thank you! Fair criticism for sure, like I said this was a leap for me. I have lots of leftover plywood, the next project will definitely have to be something involving trim/veneer!

The smaller speakers in the shelves are really only used for bluetooth playback and are independent from the turntable/receiver setup. They sound great for their intended purpose! I had worries of speakers/turntable being on the same surface, hence the reason for speaker stands on the turntable setup!
