Handmade Wooden Turntable

This is the final assembly of a handmade custom wooden turntable I built as a wedding gift for my sister and new brother-in-law.

I used the following woods
Plinth: Walnut
Platter & pulley: Maple
Tonearm & switch: Bloodwood
Tonearm supports & cover plates on back and bottom: Ebony
Inlay: Various woods

Thanks for watching!

Music:
Pangaean Islands by Brendan Byrnes
From his new album 2227

Detuned sound of this music detuned my brain :)))

How about a vid where you explain what you're doing and talk about the parts?

You are the greatest friend ever. I either suck more than I know, or I just don’t have friends as amazing as you.

[rod-bits-and-pieces]

Really impressive work and attention to detail. Well done.

[MarkMorga]

I'd love to see a video of the whole thing.

[precbass]

Beautiful work, but unfortunately I feel a bit seasick because of that music.Really impressive turntable though.

A beautiful video as is functional. Very creative with ingenuity. The belt drive better shows the transfer of mechanics versus a hidden direct drive. The channels and wells where the electronics and wiring are tucked away is very clean as are the audio connections. The wooden tone arm is another surreal throwback of what is a possible application for wood. Amazing !! Thank you for this video.

That was very interesting music, Marty.

I can’t remember anything that I just saw, that music sent me to another world, lol I can’t decide if it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard or did it just make me hate music

Der Tonarm und Headshell haben keine Kröpfung? Wie hoch ist da der Spurfehler?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Viele Grüsse aus Germany

[KompletterGeist]

nice build...but what on earth is that background music...it's so out of tune

[bhimchandmishra]

Excellent invention, hand made. Is it for sale? Price.

[allinalladityan]

I would like to see the complete making video with explanation, if possible

[joshuagoertz]

What did the motor come from? Or do you have a part number?

[chrisharding]

Where did the electronics come from? How do you set tt speed??

[joymaker]

Aí sim entendi nota dez10 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚛

Beatiful work, but there is important error.
If you use straight arm, the headshell has to be turned right a little bit.
Otherwise the needle will read channels not paraller.
The result will be heard as in vocals.

Does it only play LP's or does it also do 45 RPM

[mornebruwer]

Is there scematics for the motor board?
Does anybody know how to get in contact with Zack?
