Hi Gents,
I've been working day and night on a hydraulic project involving a lot of Unistrut P1000 channel and associated fittings (P1026, P1033, channel nuts etc) in combination with industrial vibration control/isolation products. All these items are readily available and compared to equivalent consumer grade products - very keenly priced. Think Meccano for Engineers, Plumbers and Electricians if you're not familiar with it. Assembles in seconds and is very rigid and heavy.
I'm thinking a simple cube frame with right angle brackets + neoprene isolators/shears supporting black slate shelves (2 off with Dynamat constrained between per shelf) could be the ultimate vibration buster.
So has anyone 'had a go' at this, or am I completely off my waffle pad?
Thanks for your thoughts.

We use this stuff:
Aluminum Structural Framing Shop - Bosch Rexroth Corp.
Looks nicer, connection on all six sides, more variety of sizes.
Unistrut is absolutely fantastic for things that have to mount to a concrete wall...nothing better IMHO.
Have fun building.

Cheers Doug,
I didn't know about Rexroth Alum. It does indeed look less 'industrial wasteland' than Unistrut. I'll have a go with the Unistrut as there will be substantial leftovers from the project, and it will eat away at me seeing it all in a pile in the corner unused...if it doesn't work out as a hi fi rack I'll attach castors & a winch and use it as a lifting gantry for heavy plant. Something on the wish list anyway.
You can be sure I'll have fun building!
