DiY Record holder

I personally use milk crates but i made another record holder for my dad this past weekend. I'm a big fan of this color combo.  I made a similar one before but this one was 1-1/2"  (6/4) thick before cleaning it up. I cleaned everything up with a planer as they both had a bit of twist to them with a simple planer sled and a few shims to level the workpiece. Once I had a final dimension of the paduak sides I setup the dadoe blade and did a few test fit cuts. It fit like a glove. A nice snap I to the groove. This way you can just glue it up and not use any hardware. It's super heavy and dense too. 

I used a 45 degree bit on the router table for the edges of the purple heart (no sanding in these pictures). I used a sacrifacial block at the end of the cut so I did the get tearout. I converted an old crosscut sled into a dadoe sled and it works really nicely. The dadoe stack I have was only $80 on amazon and it's high quality.  I used. A 15 degree angle on the sides to hold the records.

Add some shiny brass feet and you could market these, Mike.

Thanks, yeh they would be nice to make in bulk aND sell. The cost is kinda high I have $65 in the wood and about 4 hours labor for an unfinished product. I got a slight discount on the hardwood because they were cut offs.  Shipping would be rough if they are assembled but if it's a knockdown That's easier to ship. If it's unfinished chances are the dadoe fitment will be too tight after a top coat. I've thought about making a bunch and listing them. At axpona they were asking $120 for a headphone stand of plywood. I'm not certain a good price point.

I'm also wanting to try out some butcher block style amp enclosures or something like that. I want a project with some splines in it.

To be honest, when I saw the title of this post, I thought it was going to be about who has built the mostest speakers, ever ever.
