Underlayment record cabinet, by Frans

Description

A record cabinet that matches the desk I made earlier. I wanted the record player out of sight, but within reach, and a way to easily reach the records. I also wanted to keep some extra storage space.

DIY: cabinet for records

I started with wild plans and a blank sheet of graph paper. As I drew, the design became easier and easier, until I got to the essentials of what I needed. I sanded the delivered planks myself and drilled holes for handles and cables. Then it was a matter of gluing and screwing together and installing the wheels and hinges. I had incorrectly calculated the size of the tray with plates, here I had to cut off about four inches. I used the wood I had left over from this to strengthen the record tray extra, as it will contain a lot of weight.
