![]() I probably have around 200 records now – the above photo was taken several months ago, and I’ve gone on several buying binges since then.Įdit: Here are some more shots of the finished vinyl record shelf. Apparently this record storage bin can accommodate from 5-600 records, assuming the record sleeves are 1/8″ thick. ![]() While the quality of the photo above (shot in low light) leaves a bit to be desired, I’m very happy with the results. We waited a few days for the stain completely dry, then brought it inside and moved some records into it! We then painted on the polyurethane finish… We actually did two layers, as the first layer didn’t look as dark as I had hoped. I then sanded the record shelf quite a bit more to prepare it for the application of a polyurethane finish. ![]() Once we inserted the dividers, we dusted these bad boys off…Īnd put them inside the house next to one another – to marvel at the beauty of our creations. The dividers look crooked, but it’s just the angle at which the photo was taken. Once we smoothed everything out, we started to put the first wooden record organizer together, and I realized how awesome this was going to be. Some of the cuts done by Home Depot were pretty rough, and the wood had splintered a good bit, so we spent awhile sanding it down. We actually had a friendly Home Depot employee help us out with some of the bigger cuts, so that we could fit the wood into my car, and to save us some work later on, as we only had access to a handsaw.īlessed with a beautiful day and ice cold Yuengling Lager (brought all the way to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania), we got started right away. Make sure you’re sitting down for this one. Here’s a very exciting shot of said plywood, taken just MOMENTS before we paid for it. Two sheets of 4×8 plywood, as we were both planning on building record storage shelf holder bin thingers. So my friend Nick and I took an early morning trip to Home Depot and picked up some lumber. To clarify, I’m not looking for validation here, but there’s something about buying lumber and using tools that just seems “right”. Projects are fun, and building stuff is pretty manly, right? …Guys?
