New woodrack

This is a proper lumber storage for a serious woodworker.
Great effort.

Man, thats what I need. Great lumber rack.

Please excuse the drool, but that is a “double-shock”. First, the space for woodstorage is bigger than my entire shop and secondly the wood stored in the rack is to die for. :) Congrats on the new space.

That is a great rack I could really use it in my shop. of course I’d only need 3-4 slots

I’ve got the lumber , but not the space…most of mine is standing upright …Your project is awesome : )

Looks great. How do you sticker it?

I simply used screws to fasten the beams to the uprights. Four 60mm wooden screws in each connection. Produced them lying at the floor and raised them afterwards. One day work and it was ready for use.

Your wood selection is as nice to look at as your storage solution! I wish I had the room for both!

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of a design. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what the minimum distance between supports should be for storing lumber? It seems like this and others go for about 20-24 inches. I was also looking at http://lumberjocks.com/projects/4710. I’d like to maximize the distance between the supports so as to save some money, but I also want to do things right.

I have the space, but have most of my lumber in piles on the floor. I need some of the floor space, so this would be ideal.
Thoughts?

Your lumber rack is as big as my shop…well almost. Very cool.

Thanks for posting the pics.

-- All trees have projects inside of them, it is your job to get them out.

It has to be said, “Nice rack!”

Well done and it looks very versatile. I agree that it is almost as big as my shop as well. But if you’ve got the space, use it!

That rack rocks very nice wish I had room for one.

You could have stored it at my house.
I would not have used the wood for any of my projects. HaHa

Great job
