This was a gift for my husband. We haven't had a proper station for our record player. I wanted something unique and different. I went back and forth with the design for months.

Needless to say this project was definitely out of my skillset. The angles of the heartbeat shelves was so aggravating. I used SketchUp and would constantly change and check how the angles would work and look once put together. Of course during this time our garage was half torn apart due to purging and getting a new saw. I was limited with tools to use and room to work. The miters on the waterfall pieces that drop from the top was a nightmare.

All said and done I am very pleased with the finished product. The top is Ambrosia maple and the heart beat shelves are Padauk.

That is so awesome! Well done. I’m sure you leaned a few things though and next time it will be easier, even if it isn’t a turn table you’re building.

Thats very clever and striking! A very good job. Having that in the room will be an excellent reminder to stop and put on an album.

I can see how your heart might have skipped a beat building that. But it's a great piece, very unique. Put on some soothing music and enjoy the view with a libation of your choice.
