A very good friend of mine (also a DJ might I add) was chatting to me the the other day about his frustration about DJ-ing on his kitchen top when practicing at home. Naturally the conversation drifted on to up-cycling…so I decided to help him make a deck stand for his home.
He described exactly what he needed – an area for in vinyl and enough space to fit and set of decks and a mixer on top. After doing some online research we have made plan and a shopping list.
Difficulty: MEDIUM
BEFORE
AFTER
Tools required*: drill, saw, wood saw, leveling spirit, sander
Shopping list:
- reclaimed scaffold boards
- screws
- wood stain
- wood glue
- paintbrush
Project cost: around £60
*excluding tools
To do list:
- Measure to the size you require. I did 1000mm x 1200mm x 600mm
- Glue the size and top boards together and leave to dry
- Cut the middle scaffold boards to the required size
- Screw all together for extra hold
- Sand to smooth the surface
- Stain the wood to achieve an old rustic look
Tip: Leave scaffold boards to set over night. Also, wood absorbs the stain more than you think.
