CD tower
We are fuddie-duddies. We don’t know anything about MP3 players. We have LPs and 45s. We have approximately 89,590 CDs. So many of them have no home. But I did a neat fix for at least some of them. I took two CD towers — you’ve seen ones like them, I’m sure — that were tottering on the carpeting.
I unscrewed the bases and pulled the knobs off the top. I measured the width of the short panelled wall behind the poolroom CD player and hacksawed the ends of the metal towers to that length. I went to the trusty Ace Hardware http://www.acehardware.com/home/index.jsp , metal tower in hand, and found a mirror bracket that would work to hold it to the wall. I bought a dozen of them.
With a friend I measured, levelled, drilled and screwed and got the towers wall-mounted, horizontally!!

I replaced the knobs on what were now the front “corners” of the racks, and I think they look pretty swell under the vintage sunburst clock!
