Bar organizing rack

[Oregon rock crusher]

One thing I never have had a very good way to store is big pry bars, punches, and other bulky items that just don't fit in the box very well. I've been leaning them up against my box but it wasn't that uncommon to have a few fall over while looking for the one I wanted. This morning while walking the dogs past the scrap pile I picked out a few bits of junk to try and solve the problem of all these loose bars.



Just a short scrap of a flanged 8" pipe, an old bud wheel, and part of a valve handle. Not much fab work at all.



After an hour or so of cutting and welding I had this sitting where all the bars use to pile up. Quite and improvement as I can now grab the one I want and the others stay put. Ed.

Thanks guys, using junk to make useful things helps justify some of the treasure I just can't help but drag home. I'll have to check out that organizing 201 thread drives. Keeping things organized is about the only way to make more room so I can pack more treasures into the shop. Ed.

Making something out of nothing for dirt cheap. I believe one of the best things about that bar rack is it's heavy enough that it won't tip over easily.
