Custom plinth

It may look nice initially but that will not last long. You never want to bring a veneer out to 90 degree corners. It is too easy to damage. You use solid wood edges. But, this is more difficult and expensive to do and I guess Garrard owners do not want to pay for that. 

 As a functional turntable plinth it fails completely. It does nothing to isolate the turntable from the environment. But, it makes a lot of money on $300 worth of materials. So, I suppose it is not a bad way of making a living. I would be ashamed if my shop looked that messy and I could never build a veneered item like that. Slapping veneer on like Formica is not my style, but neither do I spend my time making turntable plinths for a living. 

Incredible! Love the Festool's, I make do with my Bosch ;-) .

When Art Dudley made a plinth for his Thorens TD-124, he used multiple pieces of Baltic Birch ply, but then didn't veneer, leaving the exposed Birch layers (13 per sheet, a stack of 6 pieces then having 78 layers!) visible. I, perhaps owing to my Scandinavian lineage, prefer that look to finished hardwood veneer. 

I don't see how the roundover edge through the veneer, on top of the plinth, doesn't expose the plywood? Or is the stain hiding it? I think it's a nice job he's done and folks are still complaining in the comments. I guess that's life on the web. 

@brunomarcs: Yes, the staint hat is applied to the wood veneer is also applied to the exposed edge of the Birch ply. Since that edge is so small, the lack of grain is not noticeable.

I don't see how the roundover edge through the veneer, on top of the plinth, doesn't expose the plywood?

The top veneer is applied over the edge of the  edge veneer. Therefore the top veneer is protruding past the frame plywood by whatever the thickness of the veneer is i.e. 1/32nd
