DIY Record Shelves?

In my question about the shelves, another AgoNer contacted me privatly about custom granite work that he does. To make a long story short, he made me a custom shelf out of black granite to replace my Salamander Archtype 2 shelves for my turntable. His work is beautiful, flawless, reasonably priced, and, he is a great guy to work with. Any one in the Phila., or Southern NJ area who can pick up locally, and are interested in maybe having him do some work for you, let me know. I can post his email to this thread if folks would like.

PS: I have no connection with or profit motive attached with him. I am just a satisfied customer

I buy Per Madesn record racks from Per Madsen Design in San Francisco and LOVE THEM. Each one is built very solidly, they're great-looking, and they're only $49 apiece! They hold about 100 records per shelf. They ship UPS; see the back of Stereophile fr their ad. I think the website is www.permadsendesign.com

madsend design is www.rackittm.com

I think these are really nice shelves!

I've made some pretty professional looking floor to ceiling shelves from 3/4" white melamine boards from Home Depot. They have the shelves precut and ready for mounting, I think they come in 16" or 18" wide. All you have to do is have the sides of the shelves cut from the melamine sheets that lay on the lumber section of the Home DEpot. then you place each free shelve between the 2 sides and fix them with wood scrues from the side panels. It's like constructing a ladder, the steps being the record shelves.
