DIY Record Shelves?


Anyone build themselves some sturdy record storage out of wood and/or other materials? If so, how has it worked out? I'm looking to build some for myself, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if a fellow 'Goner has preceded me. I have "STFA" and did not come up with anything.

I build some out of 3/4 stock aluminum and hardwood. They are very contemporary and very sturdy. I've posted the plans so that you can download them. They are in PDF format, so if you don't have adobe acrobat, there's a link here for that as well (acrobat reader is a free program)

The stock aluminum was clear anodized and I had a machinist drill it out. I bought enough pieces to make 3 units or expand my unit (no the extras aren't for sale). I think I paid about $125 for all the aluminum drilled, brushed, and anodized (yes I had friends and didn't pay full price). I don't remember what the wood cost. I'm sure it would vary quite a bit depending on the wood. I'm considering rebuilding them with more exotic wood, which is pretty easy since they are completely modular.
