Walnut Record Console
Feb 15, 2024
Doug’s high school friend, an avid fan of vinyl records, needed a console for his record collection. Because the friend has multiple sclerosis, he needed a cabinet that could accommodate a wheelchair and allow him to easily access his albums and place them on the turntable. The leg construction and technique was modeled after Christian Becksvoort’s methods in building his Shaker candle stand (“Shaker Round Table,” FWW #239).

That's nice. Very neat. How have you made the joints? I can't see any splines on the mitres and wonder how you joined it to look smart and for longterm durability.
For the mitered edges I used dominos and sized the end grain before glue up. The vertical dividers I used stop dadoes (but in more recent builds have used sliding dovetails. The legs are joined to the cross supports using sliding dovetails. I did bolt the legs through the carcass and covered with plugs and are not visible. The cross supports feature a half-lap joint.
