| 34131 | Jan-11-1998 | Rolling shop rack... | |
In a recent thread, I mentioned I'd solved part of my space/storage problem by building a rolling rack for my lumber. Enough people asked in private where the plans were that I thought it was worth posting the answer publicly for those that meant to ask but never did. :-) The plans are on page 32 of the April 97 issue of American Woodworker (this is the issue with Ian Kirby on the cover chopping a mortise...showing the simplified bench he has an article about). The rack is part of the "Tech Tips" section so don't expect a full blown article here. Also, the way they show it, there's no "floor" in the rack...put a piece of scrap 3/4" plywood across the bottom so you can stack short/small stuff in there. Otherwise, you're wasting a LOT of potential space/storage. It's a simple to make thing and most dimensions just aren't that critical. You might want to use a 2x6 along the back edge (where sheet goods get stacked) since a 2x4 is pretty narrow (can't stack much and it doesn't lean enough to keep it in place easily...a 2x6 along the bottom would probably work better. Enjoy, Tim S. | |||
