So after I painstakingly put together my new stereo system, I say back and enjoyed the fruits of my labor (and bank account). Day after day, I am astonished that finally at the age of 42 I have a system with fidelity as good as this. But my work is never done! My receiver has […]
I have been with my current employer for almost 14 years. About a year ago, I was lucky enough to move into an office of my own. It is probably 12′ x 12′, very roomy by my standards. When I got it, I did a ton of work: drywall, electrical, paint, carpet cleaning. Did some […]
I purchased an MPC Studio about 3 months ago and I’ve been using it regularly and having a lot of fun. I really started to want an older standalone MPC and decided that the 1000 would be perfect. After watching many auctions on ebay and making offers, I finally bagged one. I am pretty low […]
My girlfriend hates her kitchen floor. And now, we find ourselves here. She hated that floor and complained about it all the time. Until she struck a deal with a friend of a friend who does remodeling (and put a new roof on her house), and they came to an agreement of barter for labor, […]
So I continued on with my journey to create four completely irregular, asymmetrical crates to be stored, two by two, on a shelf in my living room where my old television used to be, which is now in an electronics recyclery or a landfill. With this bin, I wanted to incorporate triangles. The simplest approach […]
So I have continued my work building four crates to move some of the weight of my vinyl collection out of my office and across the floor plan of my condo. When you worry about your record collection busting through the floor due to it’s mammoth size….yeah, you have a problem. However unfounded my worries […]
I have been wanting to make another box for a while now. I am a bit worried about all the weight on my record bins and hutch. I estimate that the two actual pieces of furniture are 250lbs at least and the 600 records and 100+ 45s has to be at least 750lbs. Besides, I […]
I have experimented with my Kreg jig on and off and demonstrated its use at a talk I gave regarding crate construction a while back. The simple 12″ box I built (without lid) I gave away/sold at that event and I’ve been aching to put something else together. We visit my girlfriend’s mom a few […]
I was approached by the people that put this together who asked if I would put together a seminar regarding record bin construction, a topic I have covered here at length. At first I modestly assumed that it must be some kind of prank – who would legitimately consider me enough of an ‘expert’ to […]
As of today, I am at 427 LPs. When I was a few under 400 I started to think about the future, and what I would have to do to make more room. As is always the case, the most wasted real estate is always above your head. I started to think if there was […]
