Custom Rack Builder

For the Love of Music

Carpenter Studio Gear started in a New York City studio with one idea: what if you could get a rack that did its job well and looked good doing it, without paying a fortune for it? The first one was built for a friend. Then a few more, for other engineers, and a favor turned into the whole business.

What began in a small Brooklyn workshop is now a twelve person team of craftspeople in Portland, Oregon. Still handmade. Still made to order. Still one rack at a time, shipped fully assembled.

Great quality and very sturdy. The wood finish looks clean and professional, and the rack rails lined up perfectly, making installation easy. It fits nicely on my desk without taking up much space. Perfect for mounting 2U studio gear, and I’d definitely recommend it.

Amazing, custom made racks for any studio space

I can't give Tony and his shop high enough praise. He built me a custom desktop 3U rack unit for my vintage writing desk. The quality is second to none, and the turnaround was incredibly quick. The finish is fantastic; I love the caramel! I am already considering another rack for under my desk. Absolutely worth the (very reasonable) price.
