Maybe the person who bought the records would appreciate it?

Already done; of no use to me but the 6mm birch ply that it's made from is useful

The LP's had been languishing in the loft for over twenty years so I sold them to a second hand record shop in town. There were actually two boxes, one of which my dad made for his classical collection in 1960....that one I have kept - Rob

I sold 30+ LPs from the 70s and 80s just a few months ago. Nothing special just the pop of the time, Beatles, Queen, Abba, Dire Straits, ELO etc. in mint condition only got £100 as a job lot. Sold an old Sony HiFi seperates system as well for £120. Sold very quickly on Facebook. They'd all been in the loft for 30 years.
I'd contacted a couple of deatlers who offered me far less.

I like the way you teach the recipients the important timber names, not the trivial geometry jargon!

The adult can enjoy the timber information and, if they choose, can teach their children of the tessellation information.

Herewith a plywood box:

....made in 1975 to store my meagre collection of LP's. Having sold them today, I've no more use for the box so it'll be taken apart in the 'shop later on. No doubt if the box could speak, it would be dismayed to learn that it'll be dis-made tomorrow. I'll get me coat - Rob

Funnily enough I’m making a plywood box (or trying to anyway) at the moment!

I like the leather hinges.

Same here Bob; 30 or 40 LP's in mint condition (all in paper sleeves and kept in the boxes) plus some of SWIMBO's offerings that were in not quite such 'good condition' (interpret as you will) I was paid £100 cash that went straight into my ISA for something 'nice to have' (as SWIMBO said) such as another plane, which is treading on very thin ice indeed - Rob

I sometimes wonder why I keep mine, Genesis, Floyd, Led Zep, Bowie, Dire Straits, Stones, Springsteen, Queen, etc most now duplicated on CDs and transferred to USB sticks for the cars and on my phone. Hifi separates not seen the light of day since we moved here, 19 years ago.

My speakers (on stands) and amp + CD player were packed up and moved into the loft last year when I redecorated the lounge. They'll be replaced on Black Friday with a pair of Amazon 'clever' Echo Studio speakers using the Amazon Music Unlimited subscription - Rob

I still ply records on my turntable although cd do see more action.
The tv is connected to the HiFi so it sounds very good.
I won’t be getting rid of it or downsizing any time soon.

Job done. Taken a while, but I'm pleased with the results.



I did say I was going to make two Oak and Two tulipwood bases. But, the second Tulipwood blank cupped, and straightening it on the planer and/or drum sander would have reduced thickness too much. And the Oak, although it cupped a bit, the cutter tip left a burn mark around the bottom of every recess, so I decided to make two from the offcuts of Birch ply I bought in Wiltshire. It really is nice stuff.

Finished off a pair of beehive floors.
Profiles done on the tablesaw and sourced from offcuts and skip-forage but I had to actually BUY the metalwork

What is your honey yield per year?

 

[fuse]

Dependant on the forage available in the particular year and dependant on occupancy of the kit.
Also dependant on an encyclopedia of other factors
60kg was our absolute worst year ,480 was the best.
This year has been a disaster so far but in the last fortnight they've brought it back somewhat.
