Help! I'm trying to make a CD tower for a Christmas present.
All is going beautifully except I can't find anyone who stocks the plastic inserts like these. Been to all the usual suspects...Mitre 10, Placemakers etc...does any one know where I can get them, my tower is going to be pretty but useless without them!

Can you not make one with shelves? They hold more and don't require silly plastic inserts.

Tis already designed and made to use those inserts. I had a source for the inserts, but he has gone awol...

What are the measurements of that one? How many CD's does it hold?
I could maybe adapt my plans....

That one holds 30 cd's per shelf x 8. Internal shelving measures 325mm x 137mm.

Try furniture hardware suppliers. They supply the industry and probably will have more luck through them.
"Media storage" is a good search term to use.

Tried the various plastic retailers? I got some of these from Plastic Box when they were in Porirua (now known as storage box http://www.storagebox.co.nz/ ) but that was a while ago

That was the first place I tried, but alas, they don't even exist here anymore....

Thanks for the replies guys, I will try and nail down the guy at school today who was supposed to get them for me last week, but at least I now have some options....
