dj furniture and final scratch

Oh yeah, I also built myself a new dj table (take a look at the picture!) because I just got Final Scratch. I needed room to put my laptop next to my mixer, so I went off and built a new table. Currently it has no legs (it's sitting on top of two record crate towers) but I may possibly add some, or possibly hang the sucker from the ceiling. If anyone in Texas is in the market for some custom-made DJ furniture, contact me and we can work something out. I'm currently working on a new design, as well as some improvements in this one. I'll be modifying this one to eliminate the cable runs you see hanging off of the back end, and the next iteration will hopefully have even less visible structural support.

  1. hy there,
    I'm a (not so famous but very talented) bedroom dj from belgium (check out praga kahn and 2 many dj's) and I'm planning to design my own dj furniture...
    meanwhile I'm also studying architecture at the university, so I have big plans for the future (designing and selling my own dj tables)

    I like your design in its simplicity, but the thing I'm looking for is something more onconventional, because every design is beginning more and more to ressemble on everything that already excists

    the best I have seen yet is on www.system180.co.uk

    and excuse me for my english but I'm just a stupid Belgiumboy who hates Bush and his search for evil...

  2. I really like your design. I wanted to get my fiance a unit that would accomodate all his equipment and store records underneath. Do you know where I could find dj furniture for a reasonable price?

  3. I'm not sure if this is what you'd call reasonable prices, but Dual SF (www.dualsf.com) has nice stuff. They're in SF, but will ship anywhere. I'm poor, so I had to build my own...

  4. Love the look of the fastners! Very sleak look overall. Where did you find those bolts and what are they called?

  5. I like your design alot, I had a question. How is that you hold the top and the bottom? I just noticed that you have screws. Cool design.

  6. As an answer to the last two comments, the top is separated from the bottom by using the sleeves from concrete anchors to hold the two plywood sheets apart. 4" long bolts (5/8" diameter) run inside the sleeves. This is a prototype; when I have time to do it right I have a host of other modifications to make, and I'll probably replace the sleeves with actual copper or steel tubing.

  8. Hey, I was wondering where the best place to get your contact information would be. My partner and I are looking for some custom built furniture for our Studio and this style fits the bill perfectly. On top of that, we're located in Austin, TX. Drop me an email if you get a chance as we'd really like to talk to you about this further.

  10. To DJ^3: I tried emailing you; maybe you deleted it or your anti-spam measures deleted it. If you (or anyone else) are still interested in a custom design, you can contact me at:

    Make the obvious changes to get a working email address.

  11. The table is fat, What type of wood did you use + what type of wood would you recommend to get a good effect/finish as i dont have a clue,
    Much respect to your work Nick

  12. I used 1/2" thick pine plywood (2 panels, 2' × 6'); in the next iteration I'm going to up it to 3/4" thick at least, and probably run some 1" × 2" spars underneath as crossbraces to help prevent flexing. Plywood is more rigid, and you can get panels with a thin veneer of solid wood for the solid look. It should take stain pretty well, although I haven't bothered to stain or varnish this piece.

    Thanks for the compliment!
