DIY Audio Rack

I can see the time and design effort that was put into this sweet
piece.
I would guess someone is perhaps a trades person for a living?
 
Thanks for all the compliments. It took a while to plan and build and went through more than one revision as we thought of different aspects. :)

One of the more interesting aspects of this project was working with the highly figured walnut. Straight grained wood is much easier but not as beautiful to look at in the end. The boards which were cut sequentially from the same tree had lots of knots and crotch figure. Each board cut had to be planned to pick up figure and skip loose knots. Then we had to deal with the twist that the figure gave to the wood once it was cut. That was a little challenging but worth it.

Yep, plenty of power tools in the process and those get you right in the neighborhood where you start with the hand chisels, scrapers, sand paper etc to get it really fit. But I'm willing to come take lessons on hand chiseling from a solid log. I'll watch you first. :)

I'm glad we got done with this when we did because the sailing season starts this Saturday with the first race. One has to have priorities. :)

The power is run in the third/back leg. All wiring is 12 gauge solid copper. The outlets are commercial grade - similar to hospital grade but not water proof. There's a noise suppression capacitor across each outlet. There's a power switch for the whole power outlet run on the back.

Can you elaborate on the outlet set-up? Particularly how it is wired with the noise suppression caps and perhaps cap values. I think this is a wonderful idea that I would like to implement into my DIY rack design.
BTW excellent excecussion and craftsmanship. It looks great!

Nice workmanship. I like the lock miters for the legs and the mortise and tenon construction. Top notch joinery.
 
Absolutely beautiful Joyce! Thanks for posting this, you have given me some great ideas for a unit that I am going to build soon.
