The wooden fire surround is original to the house. It has had additional bits added by previous owners. I moved it from the dining room to the front room. The cast iron inert from ebay.
I made the doors in traditional tenon and mortise style myself using an assortment of junkshop tools.

The panel moulding was made with a 200 year old Griffiths of Norwich plane:
It took about 6 hours to make the moulding for those two doors. It's much easier to buy panel moulding ready made.

That's an amazing amount of work. You'd scarcely believe it's the same room.

You based in Norwich too?

Good shout on the planes. I've got quite a few of them but I'm always picking them up when I see them for reasonable money. They work so well.
For support between the shelves I had imagined pieces of board just the right size to slide in between the shelves, then you can make different sections for the vinyl. I've found the problem with a metre of unsupported vinyl is it makes it harder to get records in and out. I've heard that it can warp them but don't have any evidence in my own collection.
