tlarwa Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I built this a few years ago and it has served me well. But it's recently been replaced by my newest audio rack build and I'd like to see it get used by someone. It's 100% solid oak. The frame is 2" oak posts and the shelves are also 2" oak. Each shelf is supported by adjustable spike, as is the frame (carpet spikes). So it's very easy to get everything leveled up. The finish isn't fine furniture quality, but I liked it as is. You could easily sand it down and restain it if you wanted to. I have more than $100 into it in wood and hardware, so you're essentially getting the build for free! It's too big to ship, so local buyers only. I live in Lake Geneva, WI, so Chicago/Madison/Milwaukee area is doable. Let me know if you're interested and I can get you dimensions.

SWL Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hey Tom, I'd be interested and I'm in Powers Lake about 8 miles away from you. What are the dimensions?Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk I'll confirm when I get home. But it's about 36" high and the shelf openings are 18" wide and a little over 15" deep. The top shelf is about 21" wide. Plenty of room for even a large size turntable. Let me know if that sounds like it'll work and I'll hold it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlarwa Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 The dims are: 22"w x 15 1/2"d x 34" high. The opening at each shelf is about 18". SWL, let me know if you want it tonight if possible, or in the morning. There is another guy interested in Chicago but you have dibs.

Here it is ... the top is 2" live edge spalted Maple and the frame and shelves are red oak (the shelves are live edge too). The top is sitting on adjustable spikes and the frame is on carpet spikes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I picked up this rack today from Tom. It is built well and looks great. I got a chance to experience Tom's listening room as well and it is very impressive!If Tom lists anything here in the future, buy with confidence. He's a great guy with a beautiful home and his gear is well cared for. It was great meeting you today, Tom!Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great meeting you as well, and I enjoyed showing you the system. Hopefully we can get a group together in the Milwaukee area sometime soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
