In this video I'm making a custom rack to hold music gear such as preamps and effects processors. This easy DIY build saved me a lot of money over buying a pre-made rack.

One more tip for building a DIY 19" rack with slanted side panels: Leave adequate space on the bottom for the lowermost piece of gear to fit in without bottoming out on the case due to the downward tilt.

It's easier to load equipment in a rack if you lie the rack on its back. When you load it standing, you can bend rack ears if a unit slips your grasp with only one screw inserted.

Grrrrumble grumble! The many, MANY skill sets that I really gotta keep sharp and constantly invest in, so that I can save myself some moolah in all of my musical efforts!! I LOVE your aesthetic, with ALL wood and dowels instead of nails and screws! Much respect there! You really invest a dedication towards really making it yours, where here I honestly thought you had just modified a bed stand / bookshelf from Ikea, having judged the photos before I viewed this video, so you’re making stuff look really professional since fooled me with your impeccable work! The dowel joinery and finish are really cleaN. Can you do that dowel joinery in acrylic?!! If so, I’d love to see a demonstration of that! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

Nice rack build! The blue tape doesn't really work for tear out on any saw but lightly scoring a line on the side of the blade that stays with the piece that you will be using with a sharp utility knife before sawing will mitigate the tear out, as well as moving slowly with a good sharp crosscut blade. Dowels are a good idea when joining end grain! On end grain glue doesn't hold very well. An old timer trick is to apply wood glue to the end grain and let soak in for a few minutes and then re apply glue and then clamp it up. Luckily with plywood only every other layer is end grain. Remember wood glue such as Titebond 1has an open time of about 4-6 minutes before it needs to be clamped @70F 50%RH.

Want to build a tiltable rolling rack case that swivels on itself then you can tilt it back to vertical when done. Just have to figure out the radius of the semi circle to make it work and be stable at all angles.

I have a question, i know some rack units work with tubes, this case the presonus pre amp(second slot) has one tube, this doesnt affect ventilation??? Im planning to get some tube unites for the rack, but i was considering to leave a space between units that use tube
@californiabuilds25615 жыл бұрын
Devenir Oficial that’s a great question. Since the front and back is open I haven’t had any issues with ventilation. But I actually ended up moving the rack gear down by a couple spaces due to the size of the power transformer for the presonus studio channel. The two rack gear pieces are just different enough depth to not play well together. The stock gear racks you can buy out there will ventilate similarly to this one so if you’re good with those, this’ll be just as good. :)

Miter joints! 🤦♂️ Its such a simple cut and makes the rack look so pro yet 90 percent of wood made racks opt for the lazy joint which is functional but kind of offensive to the eye compared to a miter joint.
@californiabuilds25613 жыл бұрын
I can appreciate that. I personally like butt joints over miters. :) Maybe a future version could showcase mitered edges though. I’m curious of strength in the joint. Probably with plywood it doesn’t make as much of a difference but with solid lumber I’d expect that the miter joint may not hold up as well given the end grain to end grain. Sounds like a good thing to test!
