well it's not really a leg that's to short or anything like that, I think I made the misstake of making the legs to thin so it's tipping over a little...you know what I mean?

Try this... apply weight to 3 sides of the table, and see what happens to the fourth leg.

smart! gonna try that

If this is what I think you mean then you need to add an extra piece of wood on in the middle, so it will stop it moving, but put 2 srcews/nails in on both sides as this will stop the movement better because it doesn't act like a pivit.

I'm not going to read every reply on 3 pages, but I read most of the first page.

Anyway, you have to make a few decisions. First, is this table going to be a permanent piece of furniture in your room or are you ever going to want to transport it? If you want to transport it, then you won't want the heaviest wood possible.

I'm assuming won't be moving it at all, so here are my suggestions:

First, a solid wood is good because it will help stop vibrations. You don't need the most dense/sturdy wood in the world because other than it being expensive it will be a beast to move and there are other very cheap materials that are very light that will stop vibration much better. This material would be foam. I would highly suggest that you make your table tops recessed so that it's level with the top of the turntable, but have a removable top (with hinges in the rear) so that you can hide the foam around it and have quick and easy access to your wires etc.

Also make sure that you can adust the high of the table by a few inches for two reasons. First, and most importantly, it won't do you any good to build a Dj table that you can't make level. The anti-skate and wear on your records will be horrible and uneven if your table is not very level. Second, I prefer a table that is quite high, and you will want to adjust it until you find the right height for you. I have the top of my table at 40" (I am 6'3"). I like to have my elbows at about 90�. This way I don't put any strain on my back when mixing for hours.

Other than these main suggestions, you'll want to build a table that can adapt to getting more or different equipment. The foam inserts around your TT should be 3-4" around so that if you get TT with a slightly different dimension in the future, you can adapt another tabletop instead of remaking your entire table. If you want to put in CD decks, maybe figure out how you can have some adjustable arm that you can lock into position with ease.

An inexpensive solid wood that you could use is maple, thats what Im going to be using for my table, and its gonna be stained cherry.

I'm digging this topic outta its grave cos its a interesting topic...

I want to know how the outcome of making the dj desk went Vlad? Your blueprint for it was very interesting & i would have liked to have seen a photo of the finished product!!

Zzyzx - that desk you made is so bloody orgasmic man - I wish I had the skills to make that....


The main reason i digged this topic up is because my room is getting done up & as well as gettin new furniture, i'm getting a new table for my decks. I dont want a ordinary plain jane 4 legged table with a ordinary top to it - I want something that is unique & stands out. The desk that Zzyzx made up is the type of design i'm after (flush with the decks but with the mixer lifted up) though its impossible to buy that here in the Uk so i'm gonna get a carpenter to quote me a price on the type of design that zzyzx did with the difference of there being a shelve under the table for holding records.

Also the floating coffin on the dulalsf website is sexy as hell but I could find it no being very practical as it could easily be nudged & also - scratching on the tt's would make it a disaster!

Well....any more custom tables that you guys/girls have made up, post your pics here so you can give me even more ideas on that dream dj desk!

I thought of building my own table as well, but then I found this piece of furniture at Ikea. Perfect height (~1 meter)and enough room for a couple of hundred vinyls..

Front
Side

It's actually two pieces of furniture that I've put together. And I only paid around $55 for this

EDIT: Those are the best photos I have at the moment (crappy mobile cam).. will post better ones when/if I get a hold of a real camera

That table looks pretty neat - suitable for my needs anyway. What is the "name" of the 2 pieces of furniture?

The name's "K�mpe"..



Bought them during the "christmas sales" (50 % off)

Originally posted by Zzyzx As far as wood goes, it's really up to your preferences. I chose a heavy plywood with a oak laminate and stained it. It looks like solid oak. Make a template for the top. Important: Make sure you cut the wood from the bottom, that way it will reduce or elimintae the top from being ripped. My tables are flush with the table and i have a inclined mixer, all wires hidden. Here are a coouple of pics: http://members.cox.net/89014/P1070018.JPG http://members.cox.net/89014/P1070019.JPG http://members.cox.net/89014/P1070020.JPG Zzyzx

That's the most beautiful set up I've ever seem !
What kind of Techs are those ? I love the blue lights next to the pitch control !

those are MK5Gs.

what really confuses me is that there are only 2 things plugged in..

There is probably a power strip hidden behind the mixer. Im thinking about doing something similar. I dont need anything too elaborate. Im just trying to figuire a way to make it so when I get an updated mixer that I can modify or remove and replace with the proper size. Without having to remake the whole thing. So a semi-permanent mixer location is what Im looking into.

or one thing is plugged right into the outlet itself..

i would like a permanent setup, but, i'm always hauling my shit around town and spinning out, so it's not practical.

The black table and the labtop stand are awesome though.

I wasn't aware that a wallet and belt determined one's sexuality...

I love girls as much as I love music, which I might add says a lot

Damn there are some nice setups here...

Zzyzx thats a damn nice job you did there.

This thread has inspired me to begin making my own table.

Let the fun begin... (as soon as I have money)
