There was an email blast that came out in October searching for someone to make a rack for a SMAC member like one of these:http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.htmlI volunteered to take that on and built these for the audiophile requesting them. Just under $200 in materials: 5 threaded rods of 5/8-11, nuts, washers, stain, poly, brushes, and one sheet of Oak plywood cut just right allowed me to mitre all the edges and make them look 1.5" thick. So an economical set of racks. The lower unit gets a 22" tall Reel to reel on top.It was a fun little project. Delivery is Saturday. With a smile.
What I mean by sturdiness, is that if you push it laterally it doesn't budge. Its not a "flexy rack". With two bolts per point of connection, it is pretty darn stable.

Oh....In your photo above you show 2 pieces of 80-20 attached at 90 degrees, so I just assumed about the 80-20 cross pieces.So you used 4-hole corner bracket to attach BB to 80-20 upright?
Josh, where did you get those extrusions?
Double wide?You gonna put two single wide racks (like photo) alongside each other?Or you just gonna use one pair of uprights as common to both sets of shelves?
