Cheap, Custom DJ Unit Tutorial
I made a tutorial on instructables on how to build your own DJ Unit on the cheap if anyone is interested:

It’s not that hard if you’ve ever sawn a bit of wood before…

Lovely mate, but could you do one to fit a Xone 4D laptop two 1210’s a 1D and a Korg Padkontrol? because I would pay you to design one 
your in London as well double result!
Cheers mate!!!
Nice.
I cant make shit. I bought a Kit DJ unit and it wobbles like jelly.
The best DJ unit i ever had i made from Breeze Blocks and MDF sheets. It was very ‘urban’ hah but didnt wobble.
Id end up cutting my face off if i attempted to make that unit.
yes I can build Ikea but not something like this, awful at cutting wood as well, might have to ask my mate who is a chippie to knock this up for me but twice the size
Thats made me think. The manager of one of the clubs i play at is a chippy. He built the DJs booths in the club. He could whip one of these up pretty quick.
He would do it as well. He made me a little laptop stand for the booth which is great cus i just need a smaller bag for my gigs there now.
Hmm, got me thinking now.
You can get the timber place here to cut it for you.
I think I will be able to do this with the help of a mate and his tools!
Get him to do it…in other words!
jokes…I will attempt it myself.
Maybe then my g/f will give me a break. She says I don;t have a DIY bone in my body.
I took shop at school i will have her know!
Really?
You certainly make a lot of noise!

Im gonna ‘make’ on your Arcade VCI :eek:
oh to late fills pants
might as well you can use cheap wood, not like your going to make it out of oak or pine lol, and a chippy would have zeron problem, I just need to make mine twice as long due to wanting to set everything up on a long desk.
This should fit 2 x 1210’s, 2 x Xone1D’s and a Xone42. JUST!
You could easily make this twice the size if you needed, just double everything up…
I’d make you one Ciar2001, but I’m lazy! Plus you won’t get the satisfaction of making your own 
I’ve got a few things yet to buy/make to finish the setup. Getting some Studio Monitors at the end of the month, then swapping out the Vestax for a Xone42 (woop!) and finally the DIY controllers I’ve been building (check it) which might take a little while! Looking forward to the day I’m not planning on spending any more money on this crap!

Great projects Monsta, I really like your controller idea.
Cool desk, I’m thinking of making such a thing now or next year when I move away from my parents house..
Heres mine I got all the wood cut in B&Q, wouldn’t have been able to do it otherwise. Its certainly not as pretty as yours Monsta but it works. I have the dimensions of the wood needed if anybody wants a crack at it.
Hold Up.
B&Q cut it all for you?
Is that from Monstas dimensions ?
That is actually very sweet. I want ..!
That’d be fast though because the OP was today..
Its my own dimensions but yeah B&Q cut it for me. They have a service where if you buy a sheet of MDF they will give you 4 cuts free and then every cut after that is a euro. All the cuts are perfect and then you just screw it together
They’re not that stoked when they see you coming with this long cutting list but they’ll do it. I have been told that thats not what the service is for, its more to cut the sheet up to put it in your car but who cares as long as it gets done.
