Re: Re: [OT] Woodworking - making a tape storage shelf system

That sounds like a reasonable approach.  If you can get the inserts you
could make a case/frame and use the bought acquired inserts.  You wouldn't
want to rout the grooves for all those tapes!  How many tapes are you
thinking?  I would have thought something the size of a small
display/kitchen cabinet (but much less deep as per Glen's approach) would
give you storage for many hundreds.

I did something similar, only for DAT Audio tapes.

I decided that I didn't like the "Each tape has its own slot"
system because
it made it too difficult to reorganize/alphabetize.  So instead, I took two
long side pieces, Dado'ed them at the right intervals, and made a bunch of
wide shelves that fit the dat tapes standing on their sides.

Basically, picture a standard book case with horizontal shelves, and then
make the shelves just tall enough to hold a DAT tape, and just deep enough
to hold a DAT tape.

Pictures tonight, If I can "unpack" the thing, since it has been
buried in
the basement.  It was replaced by an old punch-card cabinet, whose punch
card trays were perfect for the DAT tapes.

How would you make something like this in wood - only bigger? What joints
would you use?

I can't find anything like this in the UK so far - hence the request.
