Three legged rack
So I bought these cheap bamboo benchtops from Bunnos.
One is being turned into a subwoofer. (Partly cut)
Another I was just going to make into one big shelf for amps. (low to the floor). Then I decided why not make it more complicated:
Still pretty simple though. (?)

I'm thinking this will work just as well and be more "elegant":
Cut sheet:
So three shelves from one benchtop. Depth may end up just a little less than 500.
Instead of putting the bottom amp on the floor, maybe we need a short stand:
Cut sheet (1 x short + 2 x tall):
Cool project B-) , I like the design
:-b
Its not worth doing if its not compliated
A few more tweaks to the design... this should be pretty much it.
I've changed the orientation of the "grain" - will be more obvious when photos.
Shelf:
Stand:
Cut sheet for 1 x stand + 2 x shelf:
The red and purple lines are edges that need to be cut at 10 degrees.
Sawdust yet ?
Some...
Stand (upside down obviously)
Not sure whether to round off edges or not - got a couple of splinters...
Test fit for shelf.
I made the single-leg end a bit chunkier than on the drawings because I had a bit more material than I thought. However I'm not sure I like it. The idea was that the right end would "float" a bit. (If that makes any sense. I don't want it to look sturdy because it's not - no leg in the corner.)
This stuff is "not exactly void-free." I think next step will be to break out the wood putty. Then I'll put a coat of finish on the exposed parts so as to not get glue on them... then glue-up.
Does wood glue have an expiry date? I'm thinking it might be wise to buy a fresh bottle...
Let's try that photo again
To answer my own question: http://www.titebond.com/news_article/13-09-18/How_to_Store_Your_Wood_Glue_for_Longer_Life.aspx
When Gopi moved in the film got kicked out of the freezer, I can just imagine how well putting wood glue in the fridge would go down.
Also I think I'll get a 1/16" router bit to take the edges off.
B-)
There are elements of Bravo to this project...
Then I thinks to myself
"this could all end quite badly..."
Time will tell.
Ya gotta admire the boy for thinkin' outside the box (so to speak) :-b
And then there were three!
Hey look! Something happened
What a fancy glue pot
Good to see someone getting something done B-)
