The challenge of storing your work while the finish dries has always been a big headache. Nothing is more aggravating than to apply a nice finish and then bump it or drag the air hose across your work, before the finish has had time to cure. I have used sawhorses and every flat surface in the shop to store stuff while finishing but I needed a better system. The rack is made of 2″ x 4″s and cabinet hinges. The supports are 3/4″ x 3/4″ x 16″ scrap wood that are set into square holes cut with a hollow chisel mortiser. The square supports could be replaced with dowels and a drill used for the holes. For this rack I have used a little over 8 feet of wall space and I can put an entire set of kitchen cabinet doors on it with room to spare.
How do you solve this problem in your shop?

Keith, this is a pretty nice solution to a common problem that most of us face. This obviously occupies a small footprint and is out of the way when not needed.
Nice idea.

Nicely innovative, and for those without that much wall space, I imagine the same concept could be put on a rolling cart. Good project.

I must say..WOW. Thank you for all the kind words. I am glad that you find this useful.
Wolwdwrkr, DonK and Cabinetmaster,
You can’t steal this because I am giving it to you as a gift. As in any idea there is always room for improvement and this is no exception. If you use this idea, and I hope you do, please post a few pictures of your version.
Pass this along and let’s see how many different ways our fellow woodworkers can improve on this rack.
Durnik,
”Stupendous idea!! And great execution!! A 10 from all the judges!”
A “10” and we haven’t even made it to the swimsuit event yet,
Thanks again

Just found this post. I agree with everything everyone else has said. I’ve been struggling with this problem for awhile and this is by far the best solution I’ve seen yet!
