Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Just finished building one.

It's a bit of a prototype, I had some ideas on the structure that needed to be tested. The bin is about 8' long and 2' wide. It holds 7 rows of 130-150 records each. I built it out of some odds and ends I had in the garage. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to post a photo in this forum.

The design is pretty simple and as such may need a bit more support for the long haul. The bottom of the shelf is 3/4 inch laminated MDF, the sides are MDF. The back of the shelf is supported on 2x2's screwed into a sheet 1/2 plywood. Two screws in the plywood secure it to the wall joists. Front legs are 2x4's.

This unit is not much to look at but it is very sturdy. My only concern is if the MDF shelf will sag over time. However, my cost on the project was $0.00 and I learned a few things while building it.

The final product will be up to 3' wide to accomodate more LP's. Doors, drawers, or both will go underneath where there is ample storage room. Not quite sure what I'll use for materials or joinery on the final project but the basic design is pretty easy.

Send me an email if you wish and I'll reply with a few pics. Good luck with the project.
