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 :)))

[@MangoCitizen]

Finally, a Flintstones turntable!!

[@EzeeLinux]

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

[@TheDumpstarInCle]

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.

[@parthabhatta1963]

Fantastic design and execution.👍👍👍

[@precbass]

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

[@chrisharding5447]

Yeah, not the best disharmony music I have bn exposed to!!

[@guus007]

If the table sounds like that, throw it in the bin.

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.

[@timbond1499]

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

[@KompletterGeist]

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

[@joshuagoertz61]

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

[@chrisharding5447]

Must be full kit??

[@farleytaylor5493]

Bravo.

[@bhimchandmishra527]

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

[@chrisharding5447]

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

[@enedenedubedene4811]

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

[@allinalladityan318]

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

[@joymaker5]

I want to purchase turntable parts !
Where should I buy parts?
Please tell me the part name!!

[@luissevero2968]

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

[@Hakkimbena786]

Where is the audio

[@madcrabber1113]

Looks cool, how does it sound?

[@seboc1]

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 ssssshsss in vocals.

[@Jammerk40]

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

[@mornebruwer4859]

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

[@MikeLeePhoto]

No Antiskate Adjustment?

[@AndyBHome]

Good point. Other than that, the tonearm is really beautiful because of it's simplicity. The free floating pivot and counterbalance, while hard to adjust perfectly, allow for not just weight but also the angle adjustment. I'm not referring to vertical angle. That's important with some cartridges, but with absolutely every cartridge the stereo channel accuracy is hugely dependent on getting the stylus straight in the groove. It's just assumed that everything is straight on all turntables, but the precision in that dimension is much more important than VTA, so it's a measure that people could go a lot more obsessive about with real tangible results. The nice thing about this tonearm is that it can be adjusted. I guess they make SME type headshells with that adjustment on them but this tonearm offers a much more elegant method.

[@chrisharding5447]

It looks like it sits on one pivot point, I was wondering that, too.

[@luissevero2968]

Preciso de um cara desse prá com çerta meu soni

[@hoplita2213]

Admiro la capacidad de construir algo así; yo no podría hacerlo, por falta de habilidades... Pero debo confesar que es el plato más feo que he visto.

[@centremultimediadelestdemo5012]

You should get a better audio cable, don't you think?

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

The music is atrocious.

[@timwrich5128]

That is the most God awful music I have ever heard in my entire life

[@M063L4]
