My latest project - finished

Looks quailty. I’ve been looking for someone to make me a custom sideboard with a hinged open top for my Rega turntable and record collection inside.. I keep scouring marketplace for sideboards that can be maybe converted to a flip top.

Earlier this month I bought some rough sawn planks of oak that I made the two items below out of. I've really enjoyed getting my head around making these and following the plans for the coffee table and adjusting them to the size the wife wanted. I made my own plans for the lamp stand. The wood cost me £305, the varnish (Rubio Monocoat) I used cost another £45 and the draw handle was from a set I bought for a previous project. So all in, it cost me £350 to make a solid oak coffee table and lamp stand and two weeks of my time in the shed.

I have overestimated on the amount of wood I bought and could make another coffee table out of it. I would rather be looking at it than looking for it.

I've even made the lamp sitting on the stand.

I could be interested in this but you need to remember it is only a hobby.

You would also need to consider size (height, width, depth), dimensions of the turntable, materials you want it made out of (colour of other furniture) and fixing and fittings.
