fritz Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Here is a rack I made for part of my collection. It holds 30 rifles----- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/fritz/MVC-037S.jpg fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emul8 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Actually, ShooterTom, you may have found the only time and place where it IS appropriate for a guy to say that to another guy! I concur, fritz, that's a nice rack! I have a question though, is there significance to the way you have configured the top level of the rack? I see that there is an extension up from the fourth level, and I am wondering if there is something that I am not getting about it. Personally, I really like the way that you incorporated those coated hooks into the design...I always thought the hooks would be good for something like that! Thanks for posting the photo!

fritz Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Yeah, the fifth row was added as an afterthought. I ccould have used longer uprights and gotten the five rows easier. I thought that 24 would be enough for this rack, but when I looked at my collection, I not only added the top row, but also built another just like it. That got most of the rifles off the floor, what with the overhead rack suspended from the ceiling joists that holds about 20. For the overhead rack, I used the J shaped coated hooks. At 25 cents each, it was cheaper than notching out the wood. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 fritz,I'm going to steal your idea and build a rack like that.We have some racks at work that hold stainless steel truck parts,a tube about 2'' dia,that have that kind of foam rubber that's kinda hard,but not,and looks like the cross pieces your stock sets in.I'm going in today,and if there is a couple pieces of that stuff loose enough that it may fall off and trip someone,well,I'm always safety minded and will pick it up and bring it home so no one gets hurt.If the stuff works,I'll get real safety minded and gather up all I can.I finally have a real shop and need to start trying to catch up with you peckerwoods that have all the real stuff to work with.Now to go to thems fighting words and look at that other rack!Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
