Building Large Pipe Racks For Large Pipes.

[RustiePyles CPG]

My pipe collection has gotten to a point where I needed to do something different with my pipe rack situation. My cabinet has far more pipes in it than it has rack space and many of my pipes are just too big for the the racks I currently have. I also wanted to be able to put cased pipes in racks. So I decided to make racks. The racks are made out of walnut to match the walnut cabinet. The finish is a simple oil finish. The spacing is 2” as opposed to the 1.5” spacing of my current racks.

I managed to fill it completely with Petersons. Now I just need to knock out the three other racks that go with it.

Very nice as always, did you go with the stitching buffing pad?

To buff the oil finish? I just used an old tee shirt wrapped around a wad of red shop rags, like a giant French Polishing pad.

How did you make the bowl rest divots?

Fabulous job and thanks for showing the photos of all of the steps.
All of us with PAD will need to get busy with this.

I started running out of horizontal space and chose a vertical approach and built a rack composed of a peg system to hang pipes.

How did you make the bowl rest divots?

Set up a fence on my drill press with incremental spacing laid out on it. I used a large bullnose router bit. I used the quill depth stop to ensure they were all the same depth.

AMEN.

Well done sir, a beautiful piece of work. Walnut is one of my favorite woods to work with.
Your collection is also very impressive.
