DIY vinyl record storage

diy magazine holder, vinyl record storage project


since the arrival of our record player i've been hunting for cute ways to display our vinyl. after trying out a few options i decided to make a simple wooden rack to store them. 

i much prefer it to the big record units i don't have room for plus it doubles up as a magazine holder/kitchen dish rack if you don't want to use it for records. we all love a multipurpose DIY right?

materials:

two 40 x 2cm wooden pieces
1cm thick wooden dowel
wood glue
drill with 1cm wood bit
tape measure and pencil
hammer


diy tutorial



1. take two lengths of wood (mine are 40 x 2cm.) mark a cross every 3.5cm from end to end.

2. drill along the wood where you have previously marked using a 1cm wood bit (make sure the drill bit is the same thickness as the dowel you are using or the pieces won't fit later.) don't drill through the wood and aim to keep the depth of each hole the same. give the holes a rub with sandpaper to smooth.

3. mark another hole on one side 4cm from the top and drill. repeat 4cm from the bottom on the same side. do the same on the other piece of wood so you have 4 side holes that line up together as shown above.




4. take a hacksaw/mitre saw and cut 26 pieces of dowel that are 9cm long. sand down any rough edges with sandpaper.

5. pop a little wood glue into each hole and hammer in the 26 pieces of dowel to finish!

(if you want to use this as a dish rack rather than vinyl/magazine storage be sure to varnish the wood first.)
