Garage orginization rack

[Sincerd]

So I've had a really hard time finding something to keep things like brooms, rakes, weed wackers and hedge clippers off the floor. Originally I had a 2x10 screwed into the framing and then added hooks. But I recently picked up welding and I was looking for an excuse to build something and dreamed up a All Steel rack screwed into Framing and supported down to the concrete. I'll be updating this project as I move along and may throw up a YouTube video If it interests anybody. Haven't seen anything like it online, and I'm pretty good at finding things.

Here we have the basic rectangle frame that's 10ft long


I got a lot of use out of this 90° vise I found on Amazon.


Once it was up, I cut supports a 16th oversized and pounded them in to allow weight to rest on them


Next I cut out notches in the rectangle tube to insert over frame and weld on.




If you have any suggestions, let me know. Yes I know I probably could have saved a ton of money going pre-built shelf/rack but wouldn't be near as cool.

For the lower arms will use tube the same size and weld like this

Here's the basic idea. Progress was moving pretty quickly but now layout of the mounting arms are slowing everything down. Only want to do this once.

I use a 30 Gallon steel open top drum. Works well in a corner.

I hang this type of stuff from the ceiling with hooks/eyes/sticks etc. Forget it's there most of the time.
