I recently purchased a Grrripper for my tablesaw. I decided to do the on-line registration (something I don't normally do). Under "Where did you hear about this product?" Steve Ramsey WoodWorking for Mere Mortals was a choice.

You've been listening to WWMM! Playing the hits of the 80's, 90's and today!!!

One idea I've seen elsewhere that I thought was pretty smart is to add a 30 degree angle cut on the vertical dividers, starting about halfway up. That way the top-front corner of the vinyls is slightly exposed and allows you to easily finger through them!

I made my own stand for my record player and I wish I thought of something like that. I made the height so the records would be almost a perfect fit. I have a lot of trouble getting my records out!

My son got me a 7 in 1 record player a few years ago and some new vinyl. I used to have several hundred albums, but now it's paired down, unfortunately, because of where they'd been stored. A good portion got wet and mildewed badly. The table is a nice project for sure. The vintage 70s cabinet I use has a door on it that is 2 piece that is hinged horizontally and folds down along a track. I guess it's extra fancy. Thanks for all you do! It's appreciated.

Awesome ! Wow, Bow Wow Wow ! I Love Their Music, And I Got To See The Original 4 Members Of KISS On Their First Farewell Tour. Looking Forward To The Build !

i know you can't keep up this pace forever, but i really do enjoy your (mostly) daily posts. thank you.

Steve, You already have the coral and purple paint to paint the cabinet to be of the era with the strobe. All you need now is a patch of the green long shag carpet for the cabinet to sit on. And don’t forget the ashtray to put the roaches in for decor.

Awesome, the ABC's are back, I haven't spent enough time learning certain terminology and these are great.

I just ordered the party light for my kids (14 & 16). I had one in the early 70's that operated with a little light bulb and the heat from the light bulb turn the fan. with this project i guess I got a little nostalgic. LOL

Day 85 of lockdown. Well, that's a "record" !!

I think we are kindred spirits. I have made as much as you on this lock out, some of which stretch credibility of sanity like yours, but it is fabulous fun! Keep it up, I enjoy the heck out of your stuff.

Ahhh, love the abundance of sarcasm!! 😁😜🙃 That looks like a great build. Love going down memory lane with you! 🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸🎷📻🎹🎺🎻🪕🥁💿 Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.

i've been watching his videos and signed up for his wood working course, but I feel compelled to comment on this video because of his music taste. It's excellent!!!!

Just looking at the thumbnail and I'm already laughing so hard XDDDDD I love your videos Steve!

I saw Ratt, Twisted Sister, and Cheap Trick in concert in 1985. Kingston Falls, NH "Rockfest"! It was AWESOME!

One thing to maybe add to the stand is a groove at the front of the shelves to sit the sleeve for the record that you are playing. That way you can show off what is spinning and it keeps the sleeve out of the way.

Some where in the last couple videos you brought up the comments on old Steve/new Steve. This video shows its all the same Steve. Keep up the great work! Perfect combination of humor and education.

Very interesting video! I got some of the shown records in my collection (but without the hair metal stuff). I never stopped collecting since 1984 and never bought any CD´s. I share your view about indie music and films. So now I know why I like your stuff, especially the lockdown videos and why this seems so familiar to me. Have fun with the record player, mate!

I made a cabinet/stand too! Made it so the pre-amp and most of the cables and stuff can be hidden on the backside. That way, there is just one power cord and one audiocable coming out of it. My cat liked scratching the records so a door had to be made. It has glass in it and is big enough to put one record in the spotlight :)

My mother was dating Bobby aka“ Bobby barrage” of the Dead Kennedys just before she passed away loved that band I even got to hear some unreleased tracks from Bobby’s private collection

I love your sense of humor Steve. Look forward to these videos every day

The open area is a perfect spot for the Sterro Reciever! I actually have been wanting to put a Cabinet together for my record player! Love to see the plans!

I like to see your sense of humor come through!

I really look forward to this every day. Thanks for keeping it going!

Oh my! You have the Star Trek Album with William Shatner singing! I looked everywhere for that and ended up with Lenard Nimroy's Album where he attempts to sing.

For my birthday last year I bought a vinyl album. I hadn't bought a vinyl album in years. I'm 60 years old. I bought Greta Van Fleet's "Anthem of the Peaceful Army." Great project Steve !!!

I remember when you said "I need a disco ball". That was on a video you cut your bigger workbench in two. Time past and now you have a record player and a modern disco ball. Now, it's party at Steve's!!! Haha

Steve slowly becoming more and more unhinged as these episodes go on is by far the best thing that's ever happened to my KZread subscription list.

I am really looking forward to this build!!

Love your channel and especially this series! It's so real and candid

The top cubby-hole is, of course, where you put the record jacket after you take the record out and put on the platter ... but the light is good too. BTW keep on keeping on with the daily format. I watch every one, give each a thumbs up, and enjoy your all you wood and non-wood ramblings immensely.

You touched on my two favorite aspects of vinyl listening, the ritual and the continuity.

Would you consider doing a video on how you sharpen/maintain your chisels? Does it make sense to buy really expensive ones? I don't think you've made a video about this.

Between the chill hip hop beat bit, the 50 shades of grey comment, the overdramatic maker vid and now the party light bit, the lockdown series has been hilarious!

I love these lockdown videos. Love your more in depth ones too. I'm thiiissss close to signing up for the weekend woodworker. 😁

I tried an experiment with my short-arbour table saw - I bought two new blades from the same batch and stacked them with the teeth offset so that they fitted snugly. The concept worked, except that the two blades actually had a significant difference in their cutting diameter; the bottom of the cut had a step in it.

Love records! I actually got two huge boxes for free at a flea market when I was little, so I've had them ever since. My wife just bought me a player last Christmas so I've been wanting to make some crates for them

Never would I have guessed you'd have DK. Love it!

Always good to leave a spot for pets in a project. Cats are gonna love the disco light!

Great collection. I listened to many of those bands as well.

Horizontal shelf is a good place to just put the jacket of the record your currently listening to. Tip for plywood edges if you’re just painting is to fill and smooth with joint compound rather than edge banding. Personally haven’t had good experience with edge banding trimmers. Also can use joint compound to smooth over wood grain surfaces so a smooth flat finish.

you are AWESOME! your energy is contagious and i admire your enthusiasm you put towards everything you do! i love the projects and hope to learn more ABC's which the jingle is perfect

Bonus points for Bow Wow Wow’s “When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”👍🤘

Well done with the Kennedys. Also your cats will live that party light

I commend your courage sir. It's not for the weak of heart to go out in public and admit not only owning a Ratt vinyl, but also having seen them live. Keep up the daily posts, they are keeping me sane!

Hi Steve, if you are putting the record player on the top, that shelf will come in handy to put the empty record sleeve on.

Hi Steve. Here in the uk we have a specialised tool for dados called a spindle moulder. It’s a little bit like a router table. Personally I prefer the look of a dado stack in a table saw but they’re extremely uncommon in the uk because lots of people were getting injured on them. I know a reputable English brand have just brought out a new table saw that accepts dado stacks so hopefully we do start to see more of them as technology progresses. For now I’ll use a table saw and take multiple passes or a router if it’s easier as the table saw for the dado stack is about £1,200 so around $15-1600.

Dou have a ink for this

Best jingle ever! Don't change it!

Omg, that "I dunno!" after the corsage pins cracked me up

I like the things to be happy about segments

Even though we are the same age (almost... Junior), I didn’t start buying records until 1982 when I got my first stereo. I think I bought my last album in 1989... 650 records later! I still have them all, though I play cds now (that’s another addiction-over 3000!) I like the indie movement too, as the big stars all sound alike. More jazz and classical these days though. The first project I ever designed was a record cabinet similar to the one you’re building, only bigger. Never made it though. That shelf... it’s for the amp! Those were the days...

Hi Steve Love ac/dc used to have the LP in a long cabinet with lift lid that help the record player and your records with a huge built in speaker and you could sit on the cabinet sadly long gone with my youth , keep up the lockdown rockbound hoedown Motown sound coming back at ya , G

Looking forward to this build. We have a little side table for our record player and albums, but it doesn’t really match the rest. Maybe I need to take on a project!

❤️❤️❤️ OMG LOL!! Thanks for the laughs Steve!

The jingle is perfect 👌 😁

Yay another WWMM video!!!

Shelve, great place to put the cover of the record you are listening to and/or store what's up next.

I listen to all sorts of music, I mostly choose what I listen to is to help with the mood I'm in. Lately I listened to a mix on youtube called "Hard Dance, High Nrg, Freeform EDM Rave Mix - October 2014 - New Music " - this helps me during work when I need to finish a document or a program in time for release. And yes, I'm with you, I used to be a rocker and stuff, I still like the music I listened to when I was about 16-18 years old but I never liked Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody, AC-DC, etc... I don't really like those huge classics. But you know what I love? Nine Inch Nails! Also, about 5 years ago I got a record player myself and bought really old classics like Laura Branigan, Tears for Fears, Dead or Alive, a bunch of Gary Numan albumns, New Order, Milli Vanilly... But sadly I didn't listen to much vinyl these days.

Finally a project for my record player my wife got me for Christmas two years ago; like you same records issue...btw, want to divest of the Rush album I'll give it a happy home lol

I just laugh a lot to this video. First of all, that records brings back ol memories. I had my youth time in the 70`s and 80`s and i remember a lot of that music. And as you say, it is sad that we cant have the system you have on your table saw here in Europe. It would have made a lot of things easier. That Disco light will be a hit every Saturday evening, when you and your wife will listen to music. Like a 80`s disco :) I wish you a nice and warm week. Stay safe and make this great videos. Best wishes from Jan in Norway

The Plasmatics- Wendy O. Williams and her use of whipped cream as clothing. I still listen to my 80's favorites- The Replacements, Husker Du, X, but I find myself these days listening to artists that I never thought I would have back then, such as Jason Isbell, John Prine, Todd Snider... mostly singer- songwriter stuff.

bought the light and liked it so much bought one for each of my boys mine plugs into the wall though

Your videos are always fun to watch, I still have over 2000 albums that I don't listen to ; because any day now I am going to upload them to digital !

You should work out what to do with the area between the top and the dividers when you start using it. You will need somewhere to put the empty sleeve while the record is on the deck (after admiring the awesome artwork) and you won't want to lose it among the others in the dividers. Unintentionally good bit of design!

Hi Steve, I love your LP collection specially Pink Floyd. Can’t wait to see how this cabinet is going to come out, thanks for your time.

I love that you love the dead kennedys. They've always been in my top ten.

Just wonderful how you just pass the time..was the seventies flairs... if so. The lights and you with flairs Being stared at by cats will be a site to see. Keep us smiling your doing it well...

I am in my seventies and a full sheet of plywood is just to hard to maneuver in my shop. Again Thanks for what you do.

My last record in the 80's was the Care Bears, E.T., and the Dukes of Hazzard. lol I still have them! lol

Thats literally what I really need to make. Perfect! :D

Thanks for the video. I remember the Plasmatics. Had most of the albums you showed. My tastes ran the gamut in the early 80's as well.

OMG.. Halloween! I used to go see them all the time, being they were from where I live. They were always a great show and still at it..

Hi Steve, A serious note amongst the frivolity. The problem with dado blades in the UK and I assume the rest of Europe, is the unprotected blade. If you can find a way of protecting the blade while using one, then it is fine. I know of one machinery supplier here who sells the package of the saw blade cover/dust hood on a long arm and dado blades, but they are something we can get from a DIY outlet.

I had almost 1500 albums and sold most all. Kicking myself every day that I did. I look forward to your daily visit to my desk.

I’ve just started building my BMW this last weekend. Just went back to double check the video and seeing you yell “there’s so much room in here. I need a disco ball!” Well Steve it’s been a few years since that video, but you finally got your disco ball coming!

That B52s album look INCREDIBLE. Honestly many of these covers hold up artistically, and the ability of an album to showcase a large piece of art is really nice too. Now I think most album covers are just a step in the process vs then when it was really part of the art.

Haha, this was a diverse and reeeealy fun episode! Please talk more about the mucic! Cheeers

love your record collection

That disco light whatchamacallit item description is EPIC!

Yay the alphabet returns! I spent ages a while back looking for the rest of your alphabet. Initially I thought I was just useless at searching. Eventually I decided you must have got bored. But with your great humour, there's a lot of zany fun potential in there 😆

We live in a nanny state. Would love to have a dado stack. You did have a good taste in music. Love the design of the legs. Very retro. 😁

Absolutely does NOT need a better jingle! 100% perfect as is.

Dead Kennedys is awesome! Love that record collection!

Yep - it's official. On day 85 he went nuts. I'm looking forward to this one; I've got me a box of "bubble years" vinyl too!

Gonna be a cool project! I have a crate of records that I never listen to, ever. Every time I see them I think it would be a pleasant experience to break them out again, but I just never bother. My prized one is an original “Green River” album by CCR. Got it for 99 cents.

Make ur record cab with a pull out shelf for the player

Super thumbs up for Dead kennedys!

Laughing here, Steve - the irony that you're constructing a "retro" piece of furniture, as well as knocking "classic rock" - no-one else would dare to get away with that....but hey, it's grand that we're all different. I noticed a couple of (Prog rock) pieces of vinyl - RUSH - confirmation that your music taste is right on track (sic)....I also have that Dead Kennedys album. Brilliant presentation - Thank you !! :D

I don't know why I like this... but I do. Thanks for continuing the vlog for the time being!

In my city, the closest HD and Lowe's both have a panel saw. The closest Menard's does not! However, that Menard's does have a slightly better lumber selection.

Good sense of humor.

We're similar in age, and I had my hair metal and new wave periods. Give the band "The Midnight" a try. They have an 80s feel, but modern. It's good stuff. Also... I own two of those lights haha.

Devo! Amazing music.

7:07 I was hoping for a Grrrripper commercial the 2nd time he mentioned the Party light

Happy belated birthday, hipster Steve!

Love your videos and especially the covid format. It always leaves me with a bit of an Andy Rooney feel. Good stuff.

I just built a new record player stand myself a couple of weeks back.

Instead of just mounting the 'disco light' by itself inside the opening, you could get a piece of translucent plastic to fit in the opening, with the light behind it...... I think I had an idea to do something like that back in the early 70's... (I've got a few years on you.....) .............but I didn't have any sort of workshop back then.

Just run your wide-dynamic-range digital music through a good compressor. You know, like they'd do for radio play on AM or non-HD FM. That'll simulate the "punchy" vinyl record sound, without all the vinyl hassle.

Great record collection!

Let’s not forget that box filled with Playboy mags hidden in the garage somewhere-teen male rite of passage.
