How to build a DJ Booth, DIY

[keithace]

I was using a big set of polk S6 bookshelf speaker previous to the Rokit 5s I have now. I built little ledges for them to sit on and padded it with a piece of foam and notice no vibrations at all. If you get all your cuts straight and screw/glue them together properly you should a nice solid piece of furniture when you are done. Mine holds most of the records and CDs I have left so it's pretty heavy. I will find a decent pic to post. It won't win any beauty contests, but it's highly functional and was way less than a hundred bucks to build. I left mine unfinished, I'm sure you can find some cheap paint to roll onto it if you desire.

edit:

I just looked at homedepot and unfinished doors are between 19 and 28 dollars.

Hay wiskey google "Sheets of MDF" its comes in 8foot by 4foot sheets and costs about $40 each sheet. You should be able to find them at Rona, Home dept, Home hardware, ect...

If you wanted something like the ikea shelfs try computer desks, or walmart shelfs they might be cheaper.

So i bought my son "he's 8" a set of turntables so im going to make him a simple DJ booth for his tables.
I have also purchased 3 sets of Tables which I plan on selling as I got an awesome deal on them so I may make booths for each of those sets as well.
They will probably be fairly simple but will help me with the build for my booth which I will be making in the winter for 2013.

Recently I built myself an Ikea DJ Booth, was pretty easy. Heres a link to a great DJTechTools article.
