Another take on headshell storage

[malden]

I am not sure what the wood is but some Pacific Rim hardwood I think. I like the shape.

Looks like ASH

Just as I was posting the above, I heard this on NPR...

Yeah, I think Oak or Ash too. My original thought was fleeting.

Regardless of wood species, that turned out really well. Nice.

I think he has a padded room.

Laughed out loud when I read this one... good humor.

I haven’t quite figured it out yet. But I don’t transport them.

I have a wall mount mirrored back display with slots for around 100, I bet that would look bichin' full. It's a Giovanni display case used for displaying Hot Wheels and Matchbox and has a opening front

Andrew...

Very nice work!

I am part way along a similar build. This will hold 6 to 7 headshells each side. I am doing a clear acrylic top, hinged I think.

I still to drill the holes for the headshells, stain and clear coat.

I am doing two of these and if they turn out satisfactorily then I may offer one on BT here.

As you know I need to think of a new Avatar picture.

I was looking at the boxes they sell outside the cigar shop for this purpose. Nice job.

I found this box at a thrift store recently and it spoke to me, "I will work well for holding headshells with cartridges installed!"

I am not sure what the wood is but some Pacific Rim hardwood I think. I like the shape.

Anyway, I am not finished yet but I have the basics roughed out. The block I cut and shaped for the inside is just a piece of trim I had hanging around. It has to be shaved down a bit and notched for the headshell nibs so they will fit in deep enough so I can close the box. They also don't quite swivel up to vertical yet but a bit more sanding will fix that.

The "hinges" are 2" long pieces of welding rod that I stole from my girlfriend. I will nip them off flush when I am ready. I used the drill press to do those holes and the ones for the shells.

I'll add a bit of felt I think and give it a finish too.

Nicely executed. Beautiful to boot. I love this idea.
