battlestyle turntable coffin
Now, I’m not really a big dj’ing guy anymore, but every time I do get some time on the decks, I always walk away feeling good. I wish I had more time to play music on turntables, but two things are for sure: One, if my gear is covered in sawdust, that’s going to make me sad, and two, I’m not going to want to have to clean it up for an hour of playing beats. The best solution is to create an enclosure for my junk so that when i want to play, the gear’s ready to rock, clean, dry, and all plugged in.
Enter the turntable coffin.
Turntable coffins are like a giant box that encloses everything. The biggest problem was that last time I looked, battle-style coffins are hard to come by… AND, they’re expensive. This was a perfect project to bust out the big clamps and get some more of that practice, practice, practice. I had all the stuff already… my estimate is around $50 in materials. Hey, here’s the obligatory timelapse movie of me cutting the lid, attaching the top, hinges, and testing it out.
couple more images here: one, two
After the timelapse movie, I added the fold-up laptop stand and the hold down toggles. I built the case big enough so that nothing touches when it’s all folded up and closed down. I’m really stoked on this. 
So, now I need to figure out, to line with carpet or not. Hmmm.. maybe paint? I dunno.
