HiFi Rack/Stand - cheap DIY

Spent too much money on a new amp which has now become two amps. She who must be obeyed is not amused by the two spaghetti junctions taking over the living room, one at the computer end and the other at the HiFi (and her TV) end. A possible solution that Im toying with is using bricks Tasteful of course ( four door stops on top, on at each corner then a pine shelf, bricks and stops on top then another shelf, three shelves max. Just hope I dont bump into it while playing favourite vinyl!!

:MILD:

 

TNT flexy - google it.

So simple even monkeys can do it.

 

Thanks

Checked out the web page - Hope I can find the parts in town. Ill have a look tomorrow - looks so simple - such an elegant solution.
Thanks Again

Got the parts and built it. The stainless steel threaded rods were expensive though and I made the shelves from pine. Looks good and has certainly tidies up the living room. She who must be obeyed is fairly happy. Thanks for the help!

 

Blimey, that was quick, dreftar! Any pictures?

Quite a nice rack design that - certainly one for the bookmarks, at any rate...

 

Does the table not display any rotational oscillation ?
Or is it more rigid than it looks ?

 

Seems fine

Seems rigid enough. Those three 18mm threaded rods are extremely strong.

It hasnt rotated yet! Even when the turntable turns! at least not whilst Ive been looking!

 

Can't use my gyro on my flex ....sound c*ap have to use a origin live skyline.

 

I'm thinking of using a couple of corras units from Ikea...they look quite elegant...

 

a Pic

Ill try and post a pic of the completed FleXy Table

 

Looks good

 

Very nice. I intend to build one too. Did you use any rubber washers/feet?

OT how´s the bass response of the Elacs?

Can I ask where you got the parts from?

 

The threaded rods, wahers and nuts are stainless and I got them from a ships chandlers - a good source of industrial stainless steel products - The wood shelves from a hardware shop, they come ready sanded and cut, just drill the holes and bolt together.

 

Here's a pic of my semi naked flexi

Looks Great

Looks fantastic!

Guess Ill need to get out the sander and varnish and stain etc - I like the finish youve achieved and the way the legs have been turned to a point.

 

three legs would have been better!

But I like the multi phase idea......

 

There is a very nice rack here, very easy and cheap to make and has the all important WAF thrown in for good measure!
