The other half’s got a face like thunder after I casually dropped into the conversation the fact that I’d ordered some more pineboard from work. Yep, that’s definitely a look that could curdle matt emulsion.

Meanwhile, it’s time to get pencil, ruler and back of cereal packet out to design what I really hope will be the last lot of cabinet making ever. This time we’re making a vinyl record storage unit because when you can’t find one you like in the shops then you just have to make it yourself.
To make the most of unused bits and bobs, I’ve designed this record storage unit so that it incorporates all the old wooden CD storage boxes bought from IKEA decades ago.

| Wooden CD storage boxes |
It needs to be big enough to house all those marvellous LP’s and 7 inch singles lovingly acquired from bygone record shops which I refused to get rid of when the rest of the world was ditching theirs in favour of new-fangled CD technology.
My design was cobbled together in a most unusual manner by jiggling round a pine bookshelf, the CD boxes and a small partitioned storage unit rather like completing a gigantic 3D Rubik’s cube until the right combination of components was eventually reached. Hey presto, a design is born!

| This one? |

| Or like this? |
This unit will consist of 3 parts; a sturdy plinth, a stained rectangular cube divided into sections for the CD boxes/records and a black outer casing.

| I've settled for this design |
All that’s needed now is the will, wood and weather to be able to get this latest odyssey off the ground.
