My New Pipe Rack

[thomc80]

My Dads pretty handy with wood so i came home this week and he apparently decided to build me a pipe rack. It hold 18 pipes and has room for 24 half pint mason jars on the 2 upper shelves. Was kinda really needing something bigger and i got it XD.

That pipe rack is awesome. Enough room for a nice collection of pipes and tabaccy.

Very clever design!

 

[forsooth]

Very nice!! For the very bottom (pipe rest) shelf, are there indentations or "scoops" for the pipe bowls? If so, do you know how he did that?

Nice rack. Do I see a lava lamp?

 

[pipetrucker]

Very nice. Now you just need to fill it up and then have him build you another one to fill up and then...

Great Looks like it to tends to business quite nicely!

Forsooth, you'll probably find this entry in Popular Science very helpful. In fact if you search "pipe rack" in google books you'll come up with several entries from Popular Science and probably a bunch of ideas. One quick way you can do "scoops" is to cut the shape you like for it out of a thinner piece of wood and glue it over top of the base. You won't get a grain character but it is a solution.

Nice rack! Looks like you're already low on space for the mason jars. Either smoke faster or you'll need another rack soon.
We've had the I Like Knockers thread. Now we need the "NICE RACK!" thread.

Yes there is a lava lamp in the picture lol i have like 8 of em. As far as the scoops underneath the pipes theyre not there yet he said he needed something to do them properly. Hes getting it this weekend and will add them. And yes Classicgeek im already running out of room for jars lol. But so far that is one of every pipe tobacco i own so it was perfect.

[wizbang]

[pstlpkr]

Mason is right, he needs to make you another.

In all honesty hes planning to start making em and selling them off once he comes up with a few designs he likes. Wish i was better with wood lol.

With all this chatter about nice racks and better wood its no wonder the pipe ladies don't participate more.
