Re: [ARSCLIST] LP RECORD STORAGE
Dr. Thurber,
I for one would like a little more detail on your ladder shelves as 
I'm thinking of building one for equipment--so it won't be exact, but 
I would appreciate any ideas. I have a handyman who is a good 
carpenter and the two of us built the studio a year ago at 
http://www.richardhess.com/tape/facility.htm  Lots of fussiness in 
this, but the store room behind this and a few other places in the 
basement have a total of 21 18x36x72 storage cabinets, but they, too, 
are marginal for LPs--at least the ones from Staples here in Canada. 
It was a good, fast solution and gave me enclosed storage which is 
good, but I wish I had some more like the one I brought with me from 
So Cal. It's a bit heavier gauge metal.
Oh, and in the studio, I used all oak dimensioned lumber as it seemed 
the least likely to warp. All the frames for the fabric wall 
coverings are 1x2 oak. We bought a drill press to make the holes for 
the screws that hold the fabric panels together. The panels conceal 
high-density mineral wool used as an acoustical absorber. I don't 
find oak that much more expensive than clear pine or poplar. Clear 
(rock?) maple is even more expensive than oak.
Cheers,
Richard

I have read the various posting on record shelves/storage.
  I have built many record and book shelves. I have the appropriate 
tools, skills and experience that most record collectors don't possess.
Cheers,
