Progress on the booth… need to hang some pictures and artwork, build a corner shelf for the left hand speaker and also find some granite or marble slabs to isolate the turntables (feedback coming through the speakers when fader is open on the phono connection), also booked my decks in for a 22yr overdue service. Need a few paint touch ups here and there too.
But its looking pretty decent.
And finally the bit nobody needs to see lol
Proper booth - well done!
Wouldn’t foam pads under the speaker be enough to isolate the turntables? Maybe a small rug behind the decks to prevent rumbling from footsteps?
Looking good STU-C!! 
Get a blind on that window. …anybody could be peering through there! 
I really love the fact that you didn’t set it up where you face the wall. This is something my wife has pushed me to do for years and I’m so glad she did.
Love this dude! great work!
I think ive essentially created a huge woodwind instrument and its acoustic feedback from the needle, it does it with no music on, with the needle on a still record, goes off once its running, which might also be the motor creating the vibrations through the wood when its still but with power running through.
Cheers man 
That ones ok Ian, its into an alleyway that faces our neighbours house, the only way you can get in is through a locked gate the other side of the house and its a dead end to a garage door. It’s the other window I need to worry about as that is next to the front door.
100% the same, after 25yrs of DJing to a wall at home, it was time for a change Next job is to do custom shelving all the way along the back with record sorters and a shelf for my 45 boxes… thats a summer project when its not -2c in the garage
Any plans to hang the speakers?
Great work!
Im going to fit a corner shelf on the left for that one, then leave the other in the bookcase for the time being.
The masterplan will be to have that on another corner shelf once I build the built in cabinets along the back wall, those will all be just under the window height with record sorters either side of the window.
Yes indeed a nice job!
I found that having my set-up attached to the wall solved all feedback and TT-Rumbles. works great. However not applicable in this case……
My default setup is facing the wall which I’m not keen on; I’m toying with the idea of creating a rotating top which can spin out for when I want to be more in the centre of the room, but I suspect it would be beyond my meagre DIY skills . . .
School of Youtube for anything DIY related
I follow a channel called 10 minute workshop and he is brilliant.
It’s one of those things where the idea is in my head and won’t leave me alone… I’ll post here first if I try anything out!
(Yours looks amazing btw!)
yeah and if you need any advice on joints or materials etc, dont hesitate to ask. The great thing about DIY today, you can buy stuff like plunge saws from Aldi for about £90 with a track included, so its never been a better time to do stuff like this. There’s loads of videos covering techniques, safety and cabinetry skills.
And thank you, im over the moon with how its turned out, beyond my expectations.
Right, I promise this will be the last post of the DJ room…. I figured that most of us on here will be nightcrawlers so thought it best to do some shots of it when it’s most likely to be used.
It’s also where I work from home on my WFH days too, so doubles up as a cool office.
My sub conked out this week so having to buy a new one (seems Presonus are typically ‘modern’ in their approach to repairs), I found a Mackie one on eBay for £99 (old model being sold off) so looking forward to that arriving. It’s not too big of a hit financially either.
The tall cabinet is getting the same colour as the booth, funnily enough that was one of my first woodwork projects, creating the triple shaker door for it.
There’s also some more artwork to go on the walls, still deciding what though.
Great & clean setup Stu ! … may i come over to that window and watch master at work? haha
Hahaha, you can but you best bring another DJ to do the master at work bit 
I’m over the moon with how it’s come out, gutted I can’t actually use it until my new sub arrives though, I need it to daisy chain the monitors.
Well, you could just mix and listen in your headphones but it’s just not the same thing. 
What is this alien concept you speak of
