Working on a somewhat light weight storage rack for sticks of material. They have been piled in the corner of the metal fab room for way too long. I can’t tell what I have on hand. I always have full sticks split in half before I leave the steel yard, so this is for 10’ sticks. It’s going on this wall, to the left of and above the sandblast cabinet. It will go just under the conduit. Material will go over the blue airline.
Four uprights. Two on the left go further down, over the bandsaw. Arms are 1.5 sq 0.120 wall 18” long. Verticals are 1/4 x 3 flat bar. Will be anchored to wall with 3/8 anchors. I don’t plan to put a large amount of stock on it.
I settled on a 3 degree up angle for the shelf arms. The Ellis saw made easy work of the miters. I made a layout template on the laser to make sure I put my mounting holes in the right place. Made in two pieces due to the width of mdf sheet and laser bed.
1/8 mdf is much easier to hold up to the wall. Also made small test pieces for the shelf arm end caps to sort out the size.
Now I have a lot of helmet time. I need the practice. Switched hands with the torch and filler. It’s going better having the filler in my dominant hand.
