LeeKaye Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For 7s, I used to buy small record carrying cases as they are so portable and you can stack them easily, like under things. They used to be easy to find second hand from jumble sales and charity shops (flea markets and goodwill shops?), I suspect with the ZOMG vinyl stuff that they are much harder to find these days.

ejc625 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi All, Does anyone have any advice on how to build these? Looks like maybe a router used with a mitre gauge on an angle? I've made them before. They work pretty well. However, it is pretty difficult to get the right angle so the records don't lean too far back.I just used a skil saw to make the cuts. I can take some pictures and post this evening with the dimensions if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthofinfinity Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I moved into a new place, so naturally I had to get a whole new setup.

birdwell Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This is exactly how I wanted to set ours up...buuuut not enough wall space anywhere to do so, so we ended up puting the two verticals side by side simulating a 4x4 and the horizontal one on the wall oppositeHorizontal one was harder to put together than the vertical ones in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthofinfinity Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks guys. Birdwell, I found getting the back to stay in place to be the hardest part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Bought a few more Expedits on CL this weekend for cheap. Noticed they're not popping up as often as they use to, so if you see them for cheap and need one (or not but will in the future), I recommend scooping them up.

Ikea Nornas shelves and I plan on building some thing for cassettes to hang in the middle. That's super clean. I have no way of hiding my wires and it drives me nuts. Good job man.

drewvandal Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Just bought a house in Nashville, finally have everything in order. My record shelf is a piece that my grandmother gave me that she used to store her VHS tapes in, so stoked on it with my collection inside. The Victrola in the corner isn't currently working (my Mom's best friend was going to throw it away). So I turned it into a bar and will get it fixed when I get some extra cash.

lilmuse Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Gorgeous shelves. The records do look sweet in there. I'm curious, though, is that the smallest closet ever next to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameshays Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 A work in progress. Ikea file folder/shelving units. I took the front doors off and installed pine dividers (screwed through the top) so there wouldn't be too many records left to right. Still would rather have front facing storage but I'm not crafty enough to build one and don't want to spend the $500 on a bin. Found a local guy who sells wine crates for $7-9. Unfortunately the small crates are about 1/2" to narrow so I had to use the longer ones sideways. Not the most efficient but it's convenient. passionbrand, moonbeams, dickcritter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
