WTB - Pipe Racks for 40 (10/01/16)

[pipesmokingtom]

I need some pipe storage!
Could be a single 40 rack, 2 20s,a 20 and two 10s...
Anyone have any laying around you're looking to get rid of?

The price difference is in the materials, of course.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Nice stuff, I agree.
I'm not prepared to put $300 worth of pipes on $300 worth of rack, if you get my meaning.
Hoping for something a bit more practical (ie. Cheaper).

Contemplate pegboard!

In addition to the workshop version, there is now some meant to be used in the kitchen... and elsewhere -- upscale from the basement or garage.

This goes for the "hooks" too.

If nothing else, there are lots of ideas out there. Google pegboard.

@jamesrsmithjr -- Thanks... I just bookmarked that one!

On eBay, you can find the occasional Decatur Industries standing and wall mounted pipe racks wtihin your budget. One of these plus a couple of round Decaturs might add up.

MUAHAHAHAHA

ha ha, man that's a good idea, wjere did you get the board with the holes.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Home Depot lumber department. $8. All the hardware was $18.
It's fairly inelegant, but right effective. I may still seek out a rack for the nicer briars, but for storing a few dozen cobs and organizing them as you wish - can't be beat.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

FYI, the straight brackets do not fit cob stems like you think they would. Go with all rings. They're the same price anyway, at least in-store. Some shanks didn't fit in the rings, but they can be easily bent out.

I love the pegboard idea. Might interpret it into my cabinet.
