We’re big music fans in my house; everyone is a musical performer of one kind or another. I think we’ve probably bought our last CDs though. Even I have begun buying (yes, BUYING) mp3s as well as digitizing our existing collection of about 500 CDs.
I designed this CD shelf unit to be mounted to the side panel of an existing wall unit. It’s oak ply with solid oak trim. The shelves are all dadoed and glued. The face frame was assembled with pocket screws.
I’m a weekend novice woodworker with limited space and tool complement. My efforts so far have been pretty simple compared with the projects I see here. But I’m learning.

I hope this project post works out OK, I’m new to LJ.

Thanks for the kind words.
As for “sturdy”, that it is. What I lack in finesse I make up for in stoutness. :) Thirteen 3/4” ply horizontal members, all in dadoes, all glued. Plus a 1/2” ply back, screwed into every shelf. A little caulk and it might even be seaworthy. :)
I tell my family that should an earthquake occur, they should hide under something I built.

This is fantastic! My Daughter and Son-in-Law asked me to make them something similar to this. I like this design. Well done.
