9 Pipe Rack for Under $10.00

[shutterbug]

My wife was doing the laundry today and I decided to go out to Loews for a few new clamps, and I decided I would try and build myself a rack. Now, I would like to tell everyone here, that I am by no means a woodworker, but I am handy, so I thought this was an interesting project. Two hours later and for UNDER $10.00, I thought it came out pretty good for something on a whim...and my first attempt at a true woodworking project.

The parts? 1 cedar plank cut in quarters (4 2' pieces)(I only used 2 pieces)
1 5/4"X6"X8' Cedar Decking Plank for $10.36= $5.18/rack

1 1"X36" Oak Dowel for $4.48
I cut the plank into 4 pieces, cut the dowel, drilled the holes, used a Forstner bit for the bottom plank, and bingo, a 9 pipe rack for $9.59!!!!

I had a few pieces of felt lying around, so I glue gunned that, and sanded it down. Pretty good for under 10 bucks!

Nice work! Thanks for posting the pix! :clap:
It was quite some time ago that I was on the verge of doing something like that.

Then, as I reached Preferred Member status, Kevin sent me The Official PipesMagazine.com Pipe Rack. So now I'm set.

Nice work. Great looking eye candy in the rack also.

Good job on that. Simple and functional and for a little time and $10? Yep, well done.

Well done!
I applaud you, and love the simplicity of forgoing the urge for turned legs and overly routed edges.

Thank you all...and yes, I think I might stain it. I have two more boards and might do a different top shelf design for the next rack. We'll see how that goes, but for now, I am happy spending the 10 bucks rather than 75 for something from the professionals...
