Record Bin From single 4 x 8 Sheet of Plywood - Plans

Here is mine, as finished...3 heavy coats of primer, then two coats of the final green and semi-gloss white (to hide raggey edges etc).

I put a light (LED, so no is heat generated, even if you forget to turn it off for days at a time) in the bottom, as I keep the "Analog Den" rather sparsely lit....

Just what I needed to seperate the Jazz/New-Age from the 1500 or so classic rock titles.

I plan to decorate the two front panels, but have not finalized my design yet, figured it could be done in place :-)

Showed the one kid, she's in a cabinetry shop at trade school, so she's gonna cut the sheets at school from school stock. I'll pay when I pick the pieces up. The other kid and I get to stain, assemble, and finish. Showed wife, she fist-bumped me, so we're all in!

I'll keep these units in my office and put the expidit in the LR to hold more albums and the gear out there. 3 of these will fit my office fine.

Anyway, thanks for the posters with the plans, we'll certainly be putting them to use.

If you have a circular saw, I recommend one of these for straight accurate cuts. It is well worth the money.

Looks great JazzVinyl! Mine is still stock plywood, I haven't painted it, but I put wheels on it. I like the LED light, I'll have to do that as the room is a bit dark.
 
This is an awesome design and I'll be attempting it soon. If I understand correctly, it seems like glue and some minor screws are all that's needed to hold this bad boy together? I'm not sure what color i'll be staining it but I've been reading through this thread for a few weeks/months and am ready to begin my attempt.
 
Built one...

Last spring I modified the original blueprint and only built the top tier portion since I didn't have that much vinyl. I've since already filled it up and it's spilling over, so now I'm gonna need to build the vinyl rack to original specs (as per to the beginning of this thread page 1). LOL!

What a wonderful design. Kudos to whoever posted the idea... :)

my model is complete but now I'm wishing this had maybe 1 or 2 dividers to help decrease leaning. anyone got an idea for adding dividers?
 
Just wanted to post my recently-built LP bins here:

Really happy with how they turned out. Thanks to everyone that contributed in this thread!

Great work guys!

Here's my version. I never saw this thread and just saw them on the lpbin website and decided I wanted to take it a step farther and add some drawers with dividers to hold all paraphernalia that goes along with turntables and albums. I lined the drawers with black velvet as in a jewelry box. They are made out of baltic birch plywood and finished with ebony stain and polyurethane.

I also made a matching wall rack for cds and dvds
