Easy(est) To Make Lumber Rack

Показать описание

Project build article:

I wanted to make this quickly from scrap material to store the lumber that was in my shed. It's the most basic design, but still strong enough for the job.
As for how strong, I can't hang from a single support arm, but then a single arm will never have that much weight loaded on it. The weight on any rack with multiple supports is spread out over those supports, so you'd have to really pile on a lot to reach the point where it may fail. The glued and screwed joint between the arms and the upright cleats is surprisingly strong.

I love those metal spiral double tennons you used to keep the arms in place.

I like it's simplicity! Loved the tapering jig! I truly believe that shop projects like that should be fast, easy and practical! This one is pretty too!

You always make it look so easy. Im still struggeling to make 2 of the same cuts.

This is just the kick in the ass I needed to get a rack built - easily have more than enough offcuts and scrap to do it.

It's nice to see that it works without being enormously over engineered and strong. So much simpler

that magnetic screw trick is great (3:43) because those screws are sharp nice built

You bucking feauty!

I have been looking for ways to store my lumber, but was too scared that the build would not be strong enough.

Your build here gave me the confidence I *most sorely* needed.

Thank you John! Thank you very very much 😉👍

Nicely done, one can never have too much storage. Thanks for the video.

Nice simple rack John! I have something similar and the board I want is always on the bottom of a stack. Next time I'm going to make a lot more supports for fewer boards per stack, even though it will reduce the capacity some. I just stored 180 lbs of vinyl records on the wall and it's amazing how strong just drywall screws are.
