Built a new 36" 12-space rack today.
It will hold my turntable, Vinyl LP's, my rack mount computer (when back from the shop) and other stuff.
Wood cost was about $30.
Casters/Wheels cost about $8.
Nails and screws were about $2.
12-space rack pair was free as I pulled it from another rack.
Photos below.

PS-A Build Plans PDF for this project will be available on my website in a week or so.
I took lots of step-by-step photos as I built it too!

Thanks, C.H.
Trombone is a Large Bore Bach Stradivarius 42B-LTG I bought years ago while playing with a Symphony Orchestra and doing a lot of freelance work (Circuses, Ice Shows, Broadway Show Pit Orchestras, Brass Ensemble work etc.).

That can't be a recording studio! It's neat, clean, and orderly! And-no Lava Lamp in sight! Pretender.
 
TA DA! Lava Lamp! :D
Room is clean because my recording computer is in shop and I can't record. :eek:

nice rack! :D
How do you cut out the pieces? I mean do you saw by hand or let somebody else cut it?
 
The sides are stock 16" X 48" off the shelf so no cutting required.
Everything else I measured and cut myself with powered saws.
Some nails and screws, some sanding and voila!
Ready to paint (or not!).
 
Mahogany stain, tung oil, DONE.





And I still want that desk.

Especially everything loaded on top of it!
 
Not scary but hairy!
Probably costs a lot to maintain though. ;)
 
Fighting the urge to post a photo of a really nice RACK.......


Beer goggles anyone?
