Looking for the exact rack for my Advance Paris and Mcintosh equipment. Anyone building these at a fair price. I am on the central coast in California.
Very attractive. I appreciate the material choices. Did you consider appropriate sized rubber or polyurethane casters? I would think they would make it easier to clean behind?
My favorite audio rack has always been a striped upright piano. Pull the top and bottom facings and the entire key assembly. If a speaker touches the piano, you need to dampen the strings.
As a vintage gear collector myself, you have a nice set up. Your neighbor is a kind kind man! His work is fantastic. You should be on AudioKarma if you’re not already.
Wow, amazing Job on the Rack and great gear too! I am going to liquidate some of my Ham gear to build a rack like this one! Thanks for sharing and good listening!!!! Semper Fi, Can Do and 1*SRT/TAC De WV1Q AL
Thank you so much for taking the time to create and post this video. Coincidently, I've begun a very similar build using the same butcher block countertop materials; however, with 2.5 x 2.5 inch oak legs. Your video really helped me visualize the end product. How did you smooth out the edges of the shelves and legs; e.g. sandpaper, router? Great job and thanks again!
Good to hear you found the video useful. Not the most exciting vid with tons of step-by-step detail but gets the point across. We did use a router bit along the top front edge of each shelf and along the edges of the legs. You could just use sandpaper. I surely hope you can share your completed stereo rack when you’re all done! Best to you and thanks for your nice comments👍👍
Good job! Nothing like wood expertly done. Nice gear as well. I would strongly recommend though you try other interconnect cables. Try van den hul or analysis plus in the 200-400 range. Let your VPI sing.
Thanks for watching and commenting Bobby👍👍 I should be receiving a Lounge Copla SUT in the next few weeks. I’ll check out your interconnect recommendations. Happy holidays!
Very nice rack and very nice job. Although I really cringed when he crosscut the shelves agains the rip fence. That is a procedure that is generally considered to be unsafe. If I missed an offset block and the miter gauge I apologize. Very nice job. You also have some spectacular components.
Hey Tom, As a former Industrial Arts teacher you are absolutely right about the crosscut of the shelves. I don’t remember an offset block. I didn’t say anything since it wasn’t my shop. Thanks for your nice comments! PS, I’ve bought more gear since then😳
What a great neighbor/friend! Beautiful shelf! Truly love the end result. Should last a lifetime !
Thanks for watching!
Great job. Beautifully made. I love the butcher block. Your equipment is outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Scott, thanks for taking the time to watch and for your kind comments. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you can find a shop to build it for you. Good luck!
Very attractive. I appreciate the material choices.

Thank you! I did think about casters but I didn’t want to see the wheels below. I opted for some furniture sliding pads instead. Thanks for watching 👍

You do have a lot of gears! I am interested in building one as well. I am also located in Los Angeles. Wish I have a nieghbor like yours. Great work.
Hey thanks for watching! Hope you can find a way to get yours built👍
Very nice, great job... Who doesn't like Luxman?
Thanks for watching the vid👍👍
Gorgeous gear and great looking custom rack. Good job guys!
We’re really happy with how the project turned out🎉🎉
That looks amazing!
Thanks for watching 👍👍
I kept on looking with the best one. Now I found it. Great works. Now permit me to copy it.
Meaning you want to build a similar rack?
Your sand paper grits were very high. Aiming to about 1200 for the finish would be better.
100 at the start is way too coarse
Very nice congrats.
Thank you👍👍
