problemchild Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I didn't even measure when I told him 14" I just looked at my expedit across the room and thought "14" sounds about right".Funny thing is I just measured out of curiosity, and even with a bunch of gatefolds thrown in 50 records is only about 10" give or take.Dudes gonna get an oversized cabinet.

slushy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This forum cracks me up. People will jump to the defence of Michael Jackson, but some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box for his mate gets harassed until he takes off.

I think its more because he was a twat about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this story is true, the real idiot is the person who goes to a carpenter and asks for a shelf that fits "exactly 50 records". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a normal guy kevin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 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 some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box 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! some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box 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. tape, AlexH., Hairy Potter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box 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. some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box Because I don't want to. Are we done yet? some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box All it takes is a single person with a tape measure and some records to take a moment and end this madness. Really though, picking a fight with someone who is asking for a simple measurement... what is wrong with you? some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box Hahahahahahhahahahaha. I can't get my head round the vitriol of people like you. I know I can find the dimensions of a record - I wanted an idea of how much space they take up when they are on a shelf, in their sleeves, which isn't actually something that's easily findable online. I suppose I'd need to know the width of the individual record + the width of the card sleeve ( x2) + the width of the paper insert ( x2) + the average distance that is between records once they've been around a while and so aren't in perfect nick. Regardless of all the pointless and pathetic unpleasantness, I still got an answer I couldn't realistically have found elsewhere,thanks to a couple of folks on here. As fun as this has been, I'll be off now I have the simple answer I came for. nancy_raygun, tape, Hairy Potter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 some sweet, good natured, chill guy who just wants a little bit of help building a record storage box Eugh, you guys are actually gross. I wonder if you're as unpleasant in real life. Anyway, I'll merrily be on my way, and you, bless your souls, can fuck right off!

If this story is true, the real idiot is the person who goes to a carpenter and asks for a shelf that fits "exactly 50 records". Because he's probably not really a carpenter, more just a guy who has a shed and sometimes goes in there and builds things with wood. Someone probably told him they had 50 records and would like some storage for them and he said he'd give it a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well I don't really know why but I read it all, there were laughs, gasps and almost tears, it's possible at one point I might have farted but was so engrossed I can't be sure. Now my head hurts because my whole understanding of dimensions within a standard plane have been put into question and I need to go and have a lie down. I shall be more careful when just randomly leafing through threads in future. David The Gnome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
