Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

It's nice to hear from you Jean !
I have a 10" Lathe in my basement and I would like to make a new spindle for my Lenco. Does anyone have any info on materials or design of Jean's spindle ?
I have a Birch base Lenco with a JMW 10.5i and Dynacetor XX-2 cartridge.This is my first turntable and it sounds very good ! I am still dialing in the cartridge but even with a very small cartridge adjustment with azimith or vta it makes a big difference in the sound.
This is my favorite website.

Thanks to all !!
