chariskaps Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Pretty simple question I'd appreciate it if someone would take the time to answer... basically I just need to know how tall a stack of 50 records is, please! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 well, take 50 and multiply it by about a half an inch... emacs, GhostTrail, aellerton and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chariskaps Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 meh. Why would you bother putting such an effort in to something so useless? Anyway, cheers for the effort. Records obviously aren't half an inch thick anyway. slushy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think you should clarify if it's just the record or record and jacket or record and jacket and sleeve...what kind of sleeve ... But....if u r just sticking to record are they all the same record....what are the weights of the records....120gm,140gm,180gm,200gm...etc Are they flat lip or round edges.... Are we talking 33 1/3rds, 45s, 78s.... As you can see this is not just a simple answer....sooooo many variables!!! jack8urt0n, ExtraFox and ditc586 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chariskaps Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 hi bigdz68, cheers for your response! So the reason I'd like to know is I'm a woodworker and someone has asked for a custom record stand for 50 records. So I guess it's 50, in their sleeves, of mixed weight and probably a mix of flat lip and round edges (or whatever is more common) ? It doesn't have to be super exact. Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to help me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Why wouldnt you force your client to give you dimensions of what they want? Klefki and jack8urt0n 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 i thought this thread couldn't get any less intelligent with the title being "width of records" but then OP went ahead and proved he doesn't know the definition of width.

Seriously. Records are 7", 10", or 12" wide. He wants a depth/thickness measurement... You'd think a carpenter would know the difference. kjkenney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmuse Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Generally speaking, one could go to the IKEA website (or any website that sells record storage specifically) and glean dimensions from the specs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chariskaps Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks for your interesting and helpful comments Lilmuse and Brain Fuggler. Can't really understand why you're bothering to comment. It seems that, in a brilliant show of originality, creativity and general all-round being fucking awesome-ness, you decided to spend precious moments of your incredible lives to troll a forum thread. A thread about measurements. Bravo! MCDELTAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, yeah, I could find out the dimensions for an ikea product but that's not what I'm looking for. Do try to find something better to do with your time.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I still don't understand why your client didn't give you specific dimensions, though... Legitimate question: Why don't you ask them how large it should be? That takes all the variables out of this equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a carpenter would know the difference. I want to know the width of a stack of 50 records. A 'stack of 50 records' is a different thing to 'a record'. Do try to keep up sweetie.

lilmuse Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 A response that takes the form of a value in inches or cm's would be much appreciated Why would you suppose any of us know this off the top of our heads? We are not carpenters, nor do we collect records to stack them 50 high to measure them This is why your question is not being taken seriously. Another reason, as I and others have shown, is that this information can be easily found with the tiniest bit of research, which as the person responsible for creating this storage, we'd think you'd be interested in putting the effort forth to find. Rather than wasting YOUR time making annoying comments at those of us here to not discuss carpentry, why don't you go to a record store or goodwill store or pound some keyboard keys and find your own answer?
