Record Player Stand with Storage

• Now you can attach the Inside and Outside Panels to the Tops.
• Lay the Left and Right Top panel out, as shown.
• Then Position each Inside Panel on each Top Panel, as shown. Make sure that the shelf pin holes face outward and the outside face is flush with the outside edge of the Top and flush at the back, as shown. Secure it in place with 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket-hole screws.
• Next, Position each Outside Panel on each Top with the pocket holes facing in. Inset the panel 1/2" in from the outside edge of the Top and flush at the back edge as shown. Secure it to the Top with 1 1/4" fine-thread pocket-hole screws—the fine-thread screws are the right choice here since they’re being driven into the hardwood edging instead of into the plywood.

• Lay the Bottom Panel on a work surface with the pocket holes facing down.
• Position each side case assembly on the Bottom Panel making sure the assembly is located with the proper insets, as shown. Secure the Outside Panel to the Side Edging on the Bottom using 1 1/4" fine-thread pocket-hole screws.
• Then secure the Inside Panel to the plywood Bottom using 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket-hole screws.

Cut two Fixed Cabinet Shelves and one Fixed Middle Shelf to size as shown in the cutting diagram. At the locations shown, apply iron-on edge banding, and then trim and sand it.

Using some scrap pieces of 1x6 as spacers, set the Shelves in position as shown. Secure the Shelves to the Sides using 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket-hole screws.

From 1/4" thick plywood, cut the Back Panel to size and shape as shown in the cutting diagram. Locate and drill the cable hole with a 2" Forstner bit. Lay out the holes for attaching the Back to the Case, and drill 1/8" pilot holes at those locations.

Clamp the Back to the case making sure there is a 1/8" space on each side, and then secure the Back to the main assembly using #8 x 3/4" pan-head wood screws.

• Cut one Adjustable Shelf to size, as shown in the cutting diagram.
• Then apply iron-on veneer edge banding to the forward edge, as shown.
• Next, cut two Doors to size, as shown in the cutting diagram.
• Apply iron-on veneer edge banding to all four edges of the Doors, as shown.
• Lay out the location for the door knobs and drill 3/16" pilot holes in each door.
• Next, Lay out and drill hinge-cup holes for the full-inset concealed hinges. To do this, you’ll need the instructions that come with the hinges. It’s also much easier to do this using a jig, such as the Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig. Mount the Hinges to the Doors.

• Mount the doors to the cabinet, as shown, using the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the doors have equal spacing at the top and bottom.
• Adjust the hinges using their built-in adjustment screws to even out the side gaps.
• Once the finish dries, you can install knobs on the drawers, and then attach the legs

• With assembly mostly done, you can do any final sanding that’s needed, and then apply a finish to your record player stand. We rubbed on three coats of a natural oil finish to complete the mid-century look.
• Once the finish dries, you can install knobs on the drawers, and then attach the legs as shown.
• Insert shelf pins, and finally drop in the Adjustable Shelf.
