Turntable Console
This turntable console rocks a mid-century vibe with its clean lines and low, sleek profile. Inside, there’s space for components as well as your vinyl collection.
The saying “what’s old is new again” was never truer than when it comes to vinyl records. Having watched this method of musical entertainment get slowly buried over the last five decades by 8-tracks, cassettes, Walkmans, CDs, and streaming made me think that they were gone for good. But apparently, vinyl records have brushed off all attacks as “merely a flesh wound.” Such resiliency deserves to be celebrated — and the console you see here is worthy of paying homage to the vinyl renaissance. The case is built from no-nonsense, 1""-thick solid mahogany panels that are mitered at the corners with splines for a strong joint. You can’t see these details because of the thick edging that is glued to the front. The edging has a large roundover that winks at the mid-century design tastes of the late 40s and 50s. A bin that stores your albums is securely hinged to the case, giving you access to your collection when you need it, then hiding it away otherwise. To complete the look and utility of the console, the same hinge system is used on the cover of the turntable. Behind those attractive speaker covers you’ll find ample room for your personal set.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
