Weekend Rack Project

Title edited. Please remember to upper case all but unimportant or very short words.

While I was cleaning my shop I found a few pieces of scrap Granadillo and Mahogany. While it was not my intention to build another rack, inspiration struck, I got sidetracked and knocked this new 5 day rotation rack out.

Beautiful work!

Beautiful work!

Thanks. There's a few things I'd change to make it more Universal but for the pipes I was planning on putting in it it works great.

 

[kcghost]

Nicely done!

 

[Fralphog]

Very nice job!
Is the base one piece, or glued up?

 

[revnatorade]

Very nice job!
Is the base one piece, or glued the base is one block of wood. The back and rest are obviously glued and nailed.

 

[revnatorade]

Single piece. Granadillo has a very pretty red sapwood in it.

Another gorgeous one! What changes would you make?

The angle of the rests and how close they are. Seeing as it was a piece of scrap I didn't have a ton of options for spacing. But I should've made the rest at a 35 degree angle. It would sit better with smaller pipes.

Yeah for a piece of scrap that’s pretty damn beautiful.

I like the green felt 'resting pads' at the bottom. A nice touch.

Thanks. It's actually leather.

Leather? Even better. That's really sharp looking.

Thanks. I tend to use leather on my racks. It's set them apart fro. everyone else's.
