| How to build a Record Rack |
|
On the right you can see my record rack (own design & self made) with some nice record sleeves. The records can be taken out of the rack very easily for playing purposes. The horizontal bars carry the records, the vertical bars keep the records straight.
Note: the record rack design & instruction are copyright by Pe7er. You are encouraged to use the instructions to create your own record rack. Please try this at home, but at your own responsibility! Please let me know when you have built it.... Requirements:
1. Saw the pinewood down to 8 pieces of 96 centimeter. Put 4 pieces (of 96 cm in length) in horizontal position on the floor. These horizontal slats will eventually carry the records.
2. Put 2 slats in vertical position at the sides onto the 4 horizontal slats. Make sure that the horizontal and vertical slats form a 90 degree angle. Glue the corners and clamp the pieces of wood together with the glueing clamps. The 2 horizontal slats in the middle should divide the square into 3 equal squares. The distance between all horizontal slats is about 29,6 cm. Glue the vertical slats onto the underlying middle horizontal slats and clamp together with the glueing clamps.
3. Put the 2 vertical slats onto the rack, make sure that the distance between all vertical slats is about 29,6 cm. Glue and clamp the vertical slats onto the horizontal ones and glue & clamp all joints.
4. Drill 6 holes in the underlying horizontal slats in the positions as in the photograph above. These are the holes where the rack will be fixed to the wall. Drill 6 holes into the wall at the same position (use the rack as template) and use the 6 plugs. Attach the rack on the wall with the 6 screws.
5. Now the rack is ready for use. Take 9 of your nicest record sleeves from your collection and shove them into the rack.
6. Finished....
