In this video, I make a record player plinth using fairly commonly found equipment in home workshops. I believe this record player is a "Technics SP10 MkII". This is a commission job that I do for my client. I do the woodwork and my client will finish the piece with two pack enamel and install the record player. Follow me on Instagram, and I will put up a photo of the finished plinth when I can, which may be in several months time.

One of the best plinth I have ever seen
Thanks
Nice work mate.
Thanks mate.
wow so many beautiful bowls you made!
Yep, there is a few bowls there. They are fun to make.
You are an amazing woodworker my friend
Thankyou very much 👍
Superb work 👏👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks
Excellent, mate. Have an older Lenco so great to see this - mind you but - hand held router...
Thanks very much. I haven't yet made a plinth for a Lenco, perhaps one day. The processes I used could be replicated using just a hand held router. I use my router table mainly because it throws up less dust and slightly more rigid resulting in a better finished edge.
i had both a Lenco and a technics sp 10 and i really preferred the lenco, much more natural and musical even its basic base
amazing piece of job mate!
Thanks 👍
Nice work mate, I do like plywood endgrain, I think this would look great with a clear coat.
I agree, I reckon it would look best as a clear coat. However, I have a strong suspicion that it will end up as a gloss black two pack enamel. Which will be fantastic...for attracting finger marks!
Beautiful work that you do. I was wondering if you keep all your templates? If so, have you ever made one for a Pioneer PL-570?
Thanks. I do keep all of my templates but I have never made a plinth for a Pl-570.
Looks awesome
Cheers mate
Awesome work. Are there more to see how it's further made?
Thanks. There isn't anymore to see with the rest of the build. I only make the wooden plinth. Then my client, or another of his makers will refurbish and install the record player unit.
Have you made a plinth for a Rek-o-Kut Rondine turntable?
No I haven't.
Beautiful work Kuffy, What glue you are using for laminated plinth?
I am planing something similar for my project TT and will use templates and hand router for the job. I had woodworking shop long ago but have to sell all machinery :(
Cheers mate
Thanks. I used Titebond Original for this plinth. I wouldn't recommend Titebond II or III because both of those glues tend to creep a bit too much and will result in each lamination becoming visible months after you have completed the job.
Thanx for reply, so u are using TB Original often? I want to be sure for the project to keep nice look for long time. I intend to use polyurethane varnish after sanding and filling pores.
Cheers mate
I use all sorts of glue depending on the project. For the most part, I use either Titebond original or Titebond III. TbIII is stronger than original and can fill minor gaps without losing strength, but it does creep more. So if I am laminating timber for legs, or a tabletop, I will use original so that the glue doesn't creep out of the joint creating hairline ridges in the finished surface. A good option for a plywood plinth would be to use polyurethane glue but you must be sure to get the mating surfaces clamped together nice and extremely tight because any gaps between the panels ends up in a zero strength bond. I used urea formaldehyde on my other solid timber plinth video because that glue can fill gaps up to about 1.5mm and does not creep at all, but that would be overkill for a ply project. So TB original to be safe, or polyurethane if you are confident with your glue up.
I would love to make on form my Technics SP10 Mk2 but don't have the tools.
Nice job though>.
It's a shame the links to show the finished product don't work ?
Thanks. I never received any photos of the finished item from my client which is disappointing. Thanks for letting me know my old 'Timber Tricks' links don't work and I need to change them to my "Kuffys Woodwork" links.
It's a shame I don't live in Australia you could have the contents of my workshop including a couple of Lathes. I now have MS and it has become a dumping ground. I see people selling plinths on Ebay for Technics SP10s but they live in places like Moldova or old something out of the way. They look like copies of the plinth you were machining.
The plinth I made was designed by my client, and he likely has copied someone else's design. I do make changes with most of his designs to fit within the constraints of material recovery. For the most part the designs are square blocks of timber with recesses cut out to accept the record player units. That is probably why they all look similar across the internet.
Hey Jeremy, where are you located?
Nice work .Whats the cost of a plinth like that ?
Thanks Carl. This plinth was priced at $650 AUD in its raw state.

Thanks for replying mate. Have you done any veneered or lacquered plinths ? Would be interesting to see those processes.
Sorry for the late reply, been flat out like a lizard drinkin' round here. I have only made ply plinths which get 2 pac painted by someone else, or solid timber plinths which I sometimes finish with shellac or polyurethane or someone else finishes them with whatever they want.
Kuffys Woodwork thanks mate,you're a gent.
How do you cut out the template in the first place? By hand or jig saw? BTW, great videos! Keep em comin'
If the cut lines are straight, I will rough cut them with a jigsaw proud of the line by approximately 1-2mm. Then I will clean them up using a straight edge and a flush trim bit in my router, just doing one line at a time. If the cut line is curved, I rough cut with a jigsaw and then sand or file them smooth. Straight lines need to be actually straight, but curved lines have a little more wiggle room with regards to accuracy.
@@kuffyswoodwork I think he meant the original jig/template (that doesn't become part of the plinth)... the jig you use to route against for the first layer you take to the router... I had the same question about making the jig. Or maybe I'm just not understanding the answer 😂
...Now I'm guessing its similar to how you made that last (top) layer for this plinth (marking, taping on straight edges, routing...)...?
@@brett-westgrove-country-music My answer to his question was regarding the making of the template which doesn't become part of the final plinth. But yeah, drawing the lines and then using a straight edge and a router to make the template like I did with the final top layer and for the curves I use a jigsaw and then refine the shape with rasps, files and sandpaper etc.
@@kuffyswoodwork haha, got it! I must have seen that part not 30 seconds after posting 😂 ...seeing that really made all the difference! Anyway, killer work, and thanks for the response!
How much would something like this cost for you to build ?
The price varies given the exact requirements of each job. $800-1000 is a pretty good ball park figure.
How much to have say four made. Thanks.
G'day mate, I'm no longer taking on custom work.
What kind of saw is that, mate?
It's a sliding panel saw from Ledacraft with a 2500mm sliding stroke. It's just a generic chinese machine with a sticker on it "PRIMA 2500". I like it, it serves me well.
Why you were flip the panel after each cut ?
Because my rip fence isn't setup 100% parallel to the saw blade. So if I use the rip fence to crosscut the panels, they end up slightly out of square. it's something I should fix, but it's also something which only costs me tiny amounts of time so I don't worry about it.
It’s a beautiful plinth mate. Please send me your contact. I would like to get a plinth done.
I no longer make custom plinths. Sorry for any inconvenience
@@kuffyswoodwork do you know anyone who is doing in Melbourne?
@@tomblaze3366 No sorry I don't.
Too heavy for me to even lift, skeletal is my way
You're not wrong. It was pretty heavy.
It is quite dangerous to clean up debris with gloved hands when the machine is operating!
That is very true. I do take excessive risk at times.
