I recently posted some information on the Hawthorne Audio site about a very functional and not-too-pricey CD rack that I built and thought I would share it with my friends at the Decware forum as well.

It works well for me because the CDs are at eye level and horizontal ..... so that I don't get a crick in my neck from turning my head sideways to read the label .....

The rack is built around these units :



It's the Bryco CDP-60 module and is sold by several online vendors.

I make no claims to be a finished carpenter, but it's not too bad for a "hillbilly wood butcher" .....



A larger photo can be found here.

Enjoy,

Howdy Bob,

I was afraid that someone would notice that .....

I made this comment about that fact on the Hawthorne forum :

"I still have to move some CDs to it from the old racks, but there is a disturbingly large number of empty slots that will eventually have to be filled. Oh well, it's better to have an empty wallet and a full CD rack ....."

To keep the appearance from being too ghastly in the short term, I have resorted to "double spacing" many of the disks.

What really blows my mind is that Lon's CD collection would fill this rack up many times over ..... I have a long way to go in my journey of music collection.

But, I am certainly enjoying the journey .....

Best wishes,

Randy

Randy,

That was good....

Lon,

Even better....

Hi Greg,

I haven't tried any of the slightly oversized cases in this insert, but Bryco does make a variety of the plastic inserts.

One is the Bryco DVD-20.



I will try a DVD case in the rack when I get home later tonight and let you know what the verdict is.

Best wishes,

Randy

Greg,

I must have suffered a "senior moment" concerning your question about DVD-A cases ..... I don't have any .....

Sorry about that .....

What I do have is some double CDs such as this :



and some single CDs in jewel cases that are thicker than normal (wrapped in a cardboard outer sleeve) like this :



The double CDs do not fit in the slots and the thicker CDs have to be force fitted.

It looks like I will have to drag out the ol' Dremel tool and make a "slight modification" on a few of the slots to accommodate these CDs.

Fortunately, there are only a handful in my collection .....

Take care,

Randy

Looks good Randy!

Let's see. .. I'd need about twenty-five of them?

Don't disparage your wood-working skills. They haven't fallen apart, right?  Mission accomplished!
