Jake, now those parts really do look good!

Are you going to fit a peg at the back of the shelf to stop the glass rolling back, like naim do?

Just read this entire thread from 2007, great work all round.

Hi

First of all thanks. Yes, I think I make it from plastic tube or something.

I was forgot to do clamping ring to base shelves so I made those today and painted first layers.

Looks like you have everything in hand then

Hi

Stacking test after painting. I'm not quite sure about those colors, thinking that I'll repaint them to black shelves and white legs..

edit. I just painted legs more lighter beige. let's see what they look..

Jake, coming along nicely I would say

The beauty of DIY is you can have any colour or finish you like.

I've found some pretty nice colours/ finishes in spray cans that can with care and good prep give a really good finish.

Can't wait to see the finished article!

Repainted legs twice. On left once painted and I add more white paint and painted again (right one).

All metal parts are waiting..

Great Rack Jake!!!Superb build! To be honest, I was looking at this thread from time to time but didnt expect so good results!

When I look at what I have achived with my first rack it looks even better

...I went the easy, but not so rewarding way at the end...the ikea diy

Excellent that looks great Jake, and I'm really impressed with the build and particularly the metal parts!

Do you think the rack has improved the sound at all?

Thanks all.

Hi

Couple closeups to orangeart.

That's astonishing work, well done.

Do the shelf spikes sit atop the threaded rod or the top clamp?

Hi

Threaded rod goes throught the top clamp so shelf spikes are placed on the threaded rod. That was easiest way to make sure they all are same sized.

Cool, now if only I'd got a metal lathe........

Hi

Is there any schools where you might get metal parts done as student work?
