At first my wife didn’t care if I made this or not for her. I hated the white plastic one she was using. But after I made this for her today she was all smiles! She’s so cute I decided to use her to model my work! I used brass nut’s and bolts and put a coat of clear Danish Oil on it.

Hope you don’t mind but I think I’m going to have to make something like that myself.

I Don’t mind at all. I copied one that I saw made out of Bamboo at Bed Bath and Beyond. I just took a picture of it with my cell phone. I Wish I had a tape measure with me. I had to use my hand for perspective and do a lot of guessing. But It turned out ok. What’s funny is after I finished making it I went on to B B and Beyond’s web page and saw the measurements on the page 9 3/4” H x 17 3/4” W x 13” D. I was close!

that is neat. I would like to build one 4 my wife. Hey, what do you think about inc. that design into a wall bathroom towel hanger somehow? I have a small bathroom and not alot of space for towels to hang on the back of the door.

If you fold it up it will sit flat on the counter. The ones they sell in the stores are made of bamboo.

I think I can, I think I can…Just a great job. We got away from the plastic tray but not the drainer rack. Now we switch out a towel that we use beneath it to soak up the drips. In time I think something like this will look good in the kitchen, but I don’t think my wife would appreciate it as much as yours…I’m the one who does the dishes around here!! Prost to you on your great project!

Nice job. Lots of pieces. Your wife looks like a very nice person. And you’re lucky she does the dishes.

You are so right SuburbanDon! My wife is a very nice person. The sweeties woman I know! That’s why I married her! Oh! and I also help with the dishe! :)
About that Rack! It’s a ton of work and for $19.99 I could of bought a nice bamboo rack at Bed Bath and Beyond.
But she waned me to make one so I did. And Yes LOTS of pieces!
Thanks everyone for all the nice comments!
