If i won the Hurricane Laser contest I would remake most of my projects especially this one so i can make them perfect. I would also start to make prototype for a wearable robotic suit of armour I am designing.

In this tutorial I am going to show you step to step, how to make your own stylish and inventive CD rack. It can hold more than CDs and can be altered to fit much bigger things. In this I will leave a gap so a CD player can be fitted. there are a few tools and the material is entirely up to you. For this tutorial I have used Oak from a locally sourced wood merchant. take care and follow the steps to detail.

Tools:
-hammer
-nails
-drill
-drill bits
-miller drill
-pillar drill
-band saw
-jig saw
-screws
-ruler
-saw
-set square
-protractor
-pen/pencil
-safety goggles
-soldering iron


Materials
-wood/acrylic( i used oak)
-scrap wood
-dowel
-solder
-paper
-cardboard
-circuit board

Step 1: Planning and design.

I had to think quite a bit on the structural design of this project as I was going to hold a lot of weight and would only be supported by a wall.
The pictures below are from CAD they should help with planing etc. there is also a cutting list in which you may or may not use depending on the size you want. Using CAD programs like Pro Desktop are really useful. i would forward a link but Pro desktop is quite expensive and things like Google Sketch up are a lot easier to use and it is FREE!!!!

Sorta has a modern-retro theme, and doesn't take too much time to build!

i was there when he made it, although it looks quite easy it takes quite a lot of time and effort to make all the peaces fit perfectly
