Tom and Kevin built the record player stand out of 3/4” oak plywood and 1x4” and 1x3” red oak, which can be found at home centers. To cut all the boards to the proper dimensions and assemble the cabinet, Tom used a variety of tools, including a Domino Joiner, a Kapex KS120 sliding compound miter saw and a TS 55 circular saw, which are all manufactured by Festool [https://www.festoolusa.com/].

To secure the face of the cabinet to the base, Tom and Kevin used wood glue by Gorilla Glue [https://www.gorillatough.com/].

For the finish, Tom first applied a Pre-Stain wood conditioner, then a gel stain in Walnut. Both are manufactured by Minwax [https://www.minwax.com/].

Tom ordered prefinished legs from the internet.
