Happy New Year! Woot, woot! Hope you all had the best holidays with your family and friends! I’m here today to share with you all the DIY record storage case that I made for my son! Y’all he is 14 and a boy after my heart with his old soul! I LOVE vinyl records and record players, they remind me of my dad when we were really little, and now my son has taken a liking to them! I couldn’t be more excited!

Anyway, he doesn’t have a large collection yet, but I can guarantee that it won’t take long since I love them, and he loves them! Lol! This storage case is perfect though because he can take them with him if he wants or just leave it sitting on the top of the media cabinet because it is so pretty! It holds about 20 records I would say.

Heads up though, he already has another one he wants me to build to showcase the record that he is playing! Not a problem, I can do that!😉 I’ll be sure to share it with you all once it is finished, for now, you have to be wowed by this beauty!

1 – clasp – I bought this pkg at Hobby Lobby, but I wish I would have bought the ones from Amazon!

1 – set of hinges– I bought mine at Hobby Lobby but cannot find them online…in store they are with all the other Wood Pile components! Amazon has a lot of antique brass options though if you don’t have a HL nearby!

Building the DIY Record Storage Case

Step 1

Rip your plywood down and cut your pieces to size. Here are the base pieces.

DIY Vinyl Record Storage

Glue up your front, back, and sides! I did not use my brad nailer on this project simply because I did not want to fill in nail holes since I thought I was going to stain it. If you are painting yours, save yourself the trouble and just brad nail it! Lol!

Gluing the record storage case

If you want to glue it up without a brad nailer, you can use painter’s tape to wrap it, or clamps! Also, using a scrap piece of 5″ plywood helps give you support to clamp the top with!

Step 2

Build the lid to the record storage case using the same method as above!

Let the glue dry for about an hour or so, and then lightly sand. Paint or stain the color of your choice. I painted mine in Behr Thermal.

After the paint is dry, add the hinges and accessories (metal corners, latch).

To make this process so much easier, I superglued the hinges and corners in place before screwing or nailing them into place!

I am loving this DIY record holder and all the little builds that I have been doing lately but if you are someone who followed me for the bigger builds, don’t worry, I have some of them coming really soon, and in the meantime check FURNITURE to make sure there wasn’t something you missed!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! See you back here on Monday!
