My DIY stereo rack, since some have asked

[jrhymeammo]

I think this a pretty popular design. I did two last winter as LP racks. I used 12" wide poplar planks cut to 3' lengths wiht 5/8" threaded rod. Finished the planks with natural stain and semi-gloss poly.

It is the stongest LP rack I've ever had. I finally found an affordable and good LP solution after years of looking.

Hey Slumpy,

Could you tell me how you have you records rested on both ends? Did you endup getting a couple of 12 inche squares so records dont rest on threaded poles? I`ve had my eyes on 4x4 bookshelf from IKEA, but S/H is $240 for a $150 item . So, gonna build myslef a LP Rack 4 Sho!!!
