Well, after sourcing the shelves, I got a move on and got my rack design down on paper. Took it to a local welding shop, talked it over with them, and they're going to fabricate the frame for me for £60. Thus for a three shelf 30mm granite and HEAVY steel frame (which will be sand damped) rack to my own design, I'll have paid a total of £75. And the rack can take a fourth shelf when I source one. This is significantly less than your basic glass-shelved rack from a hifi shop... Any bets on which will resonate less?
