Magazine Rack

That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I will have one…. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks JP. Hope all is well in the ‘Ville. You can see a little more about the process of building the magazine rack at http://www.kloss.org/magrack.htm.

ChetKloss,

As a .Net developer, the .Net mug caught my eye; however, the cabinet is far more interesting. I like how the magazine covers face out—Your own bookstore.

All is well. Do you live near Louisville? Usually only the locals call it “The Ville”. LOL

BassBully,

You called it – I got a bit of my inspiraiton for the rack from the way magazines are displayed at the book stores. I’m glad your a .Net developer – it just shows that dev geeks are really multi-talented…

and I love your signiture line… I’ll be quoting that one.

JP,

I don’t live in the ‘Ville but I get there on business about 3 or 4 times a year. I like the area very much (but I can’t handle the sweet tea…)

Imagine how I feel… I can’t drink the stuff either, and I live here! You just missed a great time here in the Ville. We had around 800,000 people down on the riverfront for Thunder Over Louisville. You gotta love Derby time!

Outstanding job, Chet. I’m impressed by both the design and execution. I’d say it’s a huge step up from plastic crates.

That’s great! We could sure use one of those, but I can here the wife complaining that the den looks like Barnes & Noble. (Her idea of a magazine rack is the arm of a chair. Drives me bananas!)

I’m like JP. I shall have one of these in my “man space” someday when I have a real basement.

LOL… My sweetie just walked by and said she liked the lights. “We can have one of those…” she said. Nice work Chet.

HA! I am SOLD by the slide-out coffee holder! LOML complained about my milk crates. She pointed at the bookshelves on the recent Woodsmith and said, “Wouldn’t one of these be better than these ugly milk crates?” When I get to this project, I think I’ll incorporate your slide out coffee holder! That project will come right after the new cradle, the renovated 2 yr old’s room, the new master bath, and a number of things she hasn’t mentioned yet . . . Til then, I guess milk crates will do!

That’s pretty cool!

This is really a nice piece of furnature. Great job. Was this a plan or did you draw it up yourself?

Panama Jack,

This is my own design. You can see the plans at http://www.kloss.org/magrack.htm

That is Classic… All your magazines are still right next to the Lazy-Boy, but it’s a cool piece of furniture so the LOYL is happy, it shows off your creative genius AND holds your coffee. One thing that might improve it just a tad is to have a “pull-out” laptop holder for your magazine while you read/drink coffee, or for your laptop computer so you can Lumberjock/drink coffee.

Obi,

I couldn’t agree more about the laptop. As an FYI, I use the third drawer for all my rechargables. I put a hole in the back of the drawer to let all the cords come through. It has my cell phone, watch charger, blue tooth headset charger, AND the power chord for my laptop. Basically I just open that drawer a crack and pull out the laptop cord and hook it up to the laptop sitting on my lap in my Lazy-boy while drinking a coffee..

Life is good….........

I like your taste in magazines. I wish I had enough space to build a magazine rack like yours. Great project.

Great idea! The only problem is that mine would have to take up one whole wall of my shop. LOL.
