WHAT'S UP? "While I'm out in my Shop". #13: Using steel rebar for a lumber rack, and Expanding my shop.

Hey Dick
Wa hoo a larger shop always up for that . Good fix on the lumber storage storage(in case Larrys tunning in we’ll call it Timber storage) I guess you know Grizzly has a shop layout program that helps with this kind of project. Nice Hat! Look forward to future updates.

cool ! good ideas

Nice organization, Dick. If you’re like me, the nice neat stack will last about 2 days.

Another nice simple way to store lumber (or timber as the case may be)!. Thanks for sharing the details. Hope you get your new shop soon!

good idea for the lumber storage. I tried my hand at threaded pipe rod and fittings, cheaper than buying lumber racks, but I like where yours are coming in budget wise. especially where i’m getting a nice new (to me) garage to set up in!

Dick, that is a pretty neat idea. I use 1/2” black iron pipes for my supports but I am sure that rebar is just as stout and it is cheaper as well.

Thanks to all of you!

You can buy a 20’ length of Steel Rebar for around $5.00.

Much cheaper than pipe.

Very nice addition to the workshop and a lot safer than the previous method

Thank you Tony.

I’ll be able to find a piece of material a lot easier now.

Thanks for the great idea Dick.

Great Idea! I had been rolling a thought through my mind of having one of the welders at my company’s shop weld me up a pipe lumber rack….but at their rates…ouch….since I’m no welder….this would provide another possibility….A nice way to get rid of some extra rebar I have floating around left over from my shop pad…..and a great way to organize a scattered lumber pile….Excellent!!

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Thank you dustygirl, & reggiek.

I’m glad to be of help in saving a buck, or two.
