I’ve been pretty bad about posting lately. There is news round these parts that I’ll be sharing soon but for today, I wanted to share a recent, most excellent discovery of mine.
It’s no secret that I think that 10″ vinyl is the finest format for releasing music but once you’ve got a passel of 10″ records, it can be a little frustrating to find a good way to store them. It’s not hard to find a record crate that your 12″ vinyl fits snuggly and safely in but those precious 10″ records just tend to slide around and look so uncomfortable in such a large crate. I’ve been looking around for a solution and it seems that 10″ vinyl crates are as rare as hen’s teeth. You can imagine my surprise and pleasure then when I discovered a new item at my local IKEA called the Knagglig (of course).
The Knagglig is just the right size and shape to house roughly 80 10″ vinyl records. It’s assembled quickly (took me 20 minutes) using 12 wood screws. Thoughtfully, the screws are all countersunk so you don’t have to worry about them scratching a wood floor or damaging a record. It seems reasonably strong after putting it together but if you’re at all worried or you move your records a lot, you could easily reinforce the construction with some wood glue. It comes in natural, unpainted (but smoothly sanded) wood so you could stain it or paint it however you like and best of all, it’s $10.
The only thing I don’t like about the construction, which you can see in this picture, is that brackets that are screwed together are on the inside of 
the crate rather than on the outside as on a traditional record crate. This means that the last 10″ of the bunch is only supported along it’s right and left sides. I may put some kind of backing behind my records to provide support across the entire back as it seems that over time, this could prove to be a bad thing.
That complaint aside, I think these crates are a 
fantastic solution to the problem of 10″ vinyl storage. They even have handles built into them that makes moving your records a little easier. For $10 they’re kind of a no-brainer.
downloads from a wide range of outlets including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, Deezer, etc.. While we love buying vinyl (and 10″ vinyl in particular), we also know that not everyone else does so we wanted to make sure that whatever your preferred method of listening is, you won’t be left out. Naturally, you can still buy vinyl or digital downloads from this website or our Bandcamp page and that’s not going to change.
