jasonsheperdbfl Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 My dad has been a carpenter for 35+ years, so for Christmas I asked him to make me something I could hold my records in. I just started collecting a few months ago, so I told him it didn't have to be too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 i posted a thread about this thing about a week or so ago. it was like $80 at target. How's the build quality of those Target stands? I picked up the display model and it felt flimsy, so I was sort of skeptical about buying it since I wanted to use it as a stand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGMA_BALLZ Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Has anyone ever dabbled in putting doors on an expedit? The only place in my apartment where my expedit fits is in some sunlight and i'd like to add some doors to it so I can reduce the spine fading on my lps. I've seen those expedit doors for each cube at IKEA but it would be nice to find a less expensive cost. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen those expedit doors for each cube at IKEA but it would be nice to find a less expensive cost. Anyone have any ideas? The doors Ikea sells have three sides to them which makes it impossible to fit an LP in the cube once installed. You'll probably have to do a custom dealy. Or get a blackout curtain and drape it over the front of your shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sftravis Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 put some led tape in my expedit. low voltage + low heat That's awesome. I have no experience with LED tape. Is it plugged into the wall or are you running it off a battery. I could really use this because my records are in a darker area of the room.

madtired Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would totally buy that.. prices seems a bit .. 'off' though... $65 for two? I understand its a kickstarter and all.. but my 5x5 expedit only cost $200. I surely wouldn't want to spend close to $800 for some doors. edit:: guy said he'd sell em for about $20 or less if he got the funding.. a bit more reasonable, but would be tough to do the whole expedit..

I like this guy's idea though.. curious why there is no attention on it... the expedit is the most common record storage method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd probably rather pay like $100 for 10 doors. Im cheap like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgods Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does anybody put anything behind their records on the expedit to make them flush with the edge? i'd like to do that but don't really have any idea what to use except maybe shoe boxes or something.

I put old mailers in the back of each cube so that my records hang over the outer edge by about 1/2 inch. has anyone ever modified their expedits to have a back or ledge to stop their records from pushing all the way through? I've thought about nailing a thin strip of wood from one side to the other of each cube with records, just to keep them from poking back. Only problem I ran into was rearranging my shelf, and not wanting to have to pry out the strips of wood. has anyone ever modified their expedits to have a back or ledge to stop their records from pushing all the way through? I use small spring tension curtain rods. You can pick them up at Walmart or Home Depot/Lowes for like $2 a piece. Just get one that will fit the cube width, adjust it so it fits snug, put it in the back, and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philviral Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 i posted a thread about this thing about a week or so ago. it was like $80 at target. That looks CRAZY similar to mine, except I use an Expedit. But I even have my amp stacked on top of my cd player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I place them that way with nothing behind and routinely straighten them out if I see they're uneven. Yeah, a bit OCD I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
