Airline Galley Trolley Pipe Rack

[npod]

The title pretty much says it all.
Delta has an annual garage sale and I scored this galley trolley. I had been wanting one for a long time, and it took a few years to find one that was in great condition (most are all beat up and dented). My gal was getting annoyed with pipes laying all over place and she had the idea to use a galley trolley. I am very pleased. Now I can wheel my pipes around the man cave and the top surface serves as a polishing station so I can clean my pipes while watching TV. Currently, there are 107 pipes on board, but it could hold triple that amount if needed. And it tucks away into the closet when not in use.

Awesome find! I love using purpose-built items for a different purpose, and it looks very eclectic as home decor.

Reminded me of Lee's loon design.

Very efficient is that trolley! I'd be a bit concerned about air circulation, though.

That sucker is gonna be noisy if I try rolling down the street

I'd be a bit concerned about air circulation, though.

It opens on both sides to air out. And the doors magnetically close flush to the side of the trolley when open.

Brilliant!

For what it's worth, my old system was a Bisley file cabinet (x2). You would be amazed at how many pipes you can hold in these units. I was able to get 50 standard sized pipes in each cabinet.

Wow, what a collection you’ve got! Did you find the Biksey system gave you enough ventilation?

 

[eggrollpiper]

Wow, npod, u always have the coolest stuff. You know I was finally over not sticking through organic chemistry until I saw that..

 

[npod]

I set my pipes out for a few days after smoking and before putting them away. This, I am not overtly concerned with ventilation. However, the Bsey was lacking in ventilation.

The galley trolley is a great idea.
