New Lumber rack

Is the 1# conduit metal? I am always worried about how much weight can be supported but it looks like it’s holding out strong.

Yea, its metal. I thought it was a little light also but it was free so I thought I would give it a shot. It is very sturdy. There is alot of heavy walnut hiding in that stack.

Scott : Great job on that lumber rack , you also have some nice lumber in that stack. Your shop it looks awsome. I live around the Columbia area where do you live in S.C. ?

Nice (wood) rack Scott! If your ever worried about the conduit wall bending, you can pack them with sand and plug the ends with lead.

I have tenoned pine in mortised 2Xs standards (our 2Xs in Norway are actually 2”X4” almost), They hold fine, so I can’t see why the conduit pipes won’t hold up. I sure wish I had all that timber in the photo.

I’d be more than happy to take some of that lumber off your hands. ;)
