Ultimate DJ Table/Furniture

Dual Design in San Francisco make the ultimate in DJ cabinets, record shelves.

http://www.dualsf.com/

I'm going to try to buy plans for this cabinet and have it built here in Toronto (because shipping from SF would be silly).

Or if there is enough demand, perhaps we could get them to have a few built up here in Toronto by a local agent of their selection.

Anybody interested in such a thing?

Or anybody else know of a company that makes such products?

Another company I found is: http://www.deconomix.co.uk/

----

And before you ask/comment: NO! I will not build my own (already tried, disasterous results - long story).

Jesus was a carpenter - I'm not...

Now, why go as far as San Francisco, when you can get it done locally?

These are really not that hard to make if you don't mind spending some time and making one from scratch. The only draw back is having the proper tools and basic wood-working skills.

This design just looks like it requires some well drilled anchor holes (a la every Ikea unit known to man) and some measurements for your specific gear. Screw in some lockable castor wheels and you sir are a Rona handy man

I'm interested and we can maybe get a better deal buying 2!

I'd like to be the 3rd. Unless I find the price leads me to do it myself.

I was originally looking at this stuff before, but noticed that if you put your mind to it, you can built it yourself and customize it even more.

When I upgraded to my M3Ds from MK2s I decided to build myself a cabinet thing. I mean I took shop class in high-school. I made the little wood bowl on the laythe, I've built a few decks and sheds in backyards. But let me tell you - making furniture is a completely different ballgame.

Planned it all out, got the wood, put the thing all together nice. Viola! Perfection! I load it up w/ records and my mixer and my turntables and play, play away with my new technics.

Few days later, I go away for 1 week on business. When I return I walk into my place and my "masterpiece" is split right down the center and my brand new technics (with about 1 hour of play on them) are sitting platter side down on my floor.

As it turns out, I'm not all that good of a carpenter.

The 4 foot fall from my collapsed cabinet cracked the platter & platter magnet on both turntables, and broke both tone-arms. Luckily the main drive units were unharmed as the platters must have slid off before it hit the ground.

Replacement platters + platter magnets are about $225 each (x 2), tone arms are about $125 each (x 2). Add in labor, and a general tune up to my M3Ds and we were up to close to $800.

So - $500 in wood and $800 in repairs later I'm looking to BUY something PRE-MADE. NOT make my own.

I have plans to simualr things. I made one for a Record shelf and I am making one for decks now. If you want I can give them to you. It is actually very simple to build yourself. Just straight forward measuring.
