Dio said:
I'm back with my latest build!
This one is solid oak stained with medium walnut danish oil and coated with satin polyurethane. Quite pleased with the end result: grainy and shiny!
I'd estimate the capacity at 500 records.

Okay, throwing my bin into the ring here with a build based off Dio's. I'll be selling vinyl records at my music shop in MA and this is the first display!

It's a little shop in Framingham called Centre Music House. We mostly teach lessons and sell/rent/repair instruments. Recently came into a few collections though and decided to start selling in the shop.

Sorry. I just saw this request. I hope this helps. Attached are photos. Not quite finished yet. They will probably be better than how I can explain. We really just winged it. Next time, I would add 1-2 inches in width to accommodate for the sliders and use the dividers. We simply built a tray using the 3rd face piece for the front, the 3/4 birch plywood which would have been the bottom and 1/2 inch birch plywood for the back. 3" angle brackets to stabilize the back and 3 inch wide angle brackets for the front creating a tray. For the base of the cabinet, I used 3/4 inch plywood and mounted the entire cabinet in it so I could mount the wheels: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V5P2SSY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I used sliders also from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJNR4S1V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I’m definitely going to be making practice cuts beforehand next time. Some of mine were a little wonky with the skill saw. Glued and screwed everything together and used wood filler to hide the screw heads. Stained with cinnamon toast stain. Then two layers of polyurethane. Added some casters as well. Thinking about getting a magnetic rechargeable light for the bottom shelf.

I bought a couple of the about 8" long flat magnetic rechargeable magnetic LED lights with a motion sensor. They work great, and the batteries last a good long time between charging.

Thank you. Im building a fourth soon. I bought a piece of plywood last weekend. To anyone else considering building one, I have some suggestions. I have always used sanded, red oak plywood. It’s about 80 or 90 bucks for a sheet, but it is cabinet/project grade plywood as opposed to a $30 sheet intended for a subfloor or roof deck. I always cover the edges with 3/4 inch veneer iron on strips. It prevents splinters and makes it look like nice. I use a Kregs pocket hole jig and screws to attach everything. Pocket hole jigs are very sturdy and your screws are then covered with plugs to make them look better. Here are some links just to help you research a bit. Oh yeah, let the big home stores make your big cuts. Then if it’s screwed up it will be on them.

Edit-I forgot to mention that I also use the shelf liner as well. It’s probably not necessary, but I like to use it.

Good advice man!
 
Hi there! Looking into building one of these, and was wondering what size/type of screw people have been using? Sorry if this has already been answered, but the comments are crazy long, and I couldn't find any specifics. Thanks!
 
I strongly suggest buying a Kreg's Pocket Hole Jig to help you drill your holes. A pocket hole joint is very strong and looks good too. Get on YouTube and watch a video on the Kregs jigs. They are very simple, work great, and will save you a lot of trouble.

They sell their own screws as well and the chart below tells you what kind they recommend based on the size of the plywood you use. I always use 3/4" sanded plywood. As you can see in the chart below, for 3/4" plywood, they recommend a 11/4" screw. The Kregs screws also come with course or fine threads. They say to use the course threads on plywood.
