What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

[Leebob]

Jason, when you put together your Kallax, did you wood glue all the dowels and joints, and add a backer panel or is it straight factory original?
My BH&G knockoff unit should be here today and I'll be putting together very soon.

looking forward to to your review.

Just worked out that the IKEA Kallax 4x4 will comfortably hold 1280 LPs.

With the right dividers, it should hold about the same number of CDs.

Tempting...

Remember the weight factor. That's a lot of vertical weight multiplying downward...just saying

Togged up in me foul weather gear and out into the woods with poochus.

Now I'm out

Waiting for review, Sure that's not a record store!!

Yes, I put a drop of wood glue in each hole, And added a finished ply backing painted white. I'll get a pic up as soon as room is lighter. Very strong shelf, No bowing from weight, I hate that.

Watched a vid where a guy glued every dowel and every joint. Then he used masonite as a backer, glued and screwed.
I'm afraid of the "whoops, that doesn't go together like that" factor. LOL.

Will the judges be encouraged to tip?.....

I like the way you think. A perfect score would be 10 dollars.

Good point. I’m probably better off with my steel rack, for LPs anyway.

I screwed the backing on. Not much to grab onto. I pre drilled the board first. Went ok, But dicey

My wife says my stuff will be dusted regularly and no one will be allowed to touch it. Because it was mine. You know kinda like a museum.

Well one thing is for sure. She plans on out living me.

They've been known to do that. I think it's because they don' t stress out on what new stereo equipment to buy.

Shelf #1. You can see it's plenty strong

Can't beat that steel rack, except that it was full on day one!

Was considering white peg board. Glued and screwed for stabilization. That way I could see each shelf an hit it with a screw...I'm probably overthinking this.
