Chet Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 That is a really different design. Is that something you came up with or was seen somewhere and copied. Looks like you are having a hard time picking ball team to root for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 It's my design. I stopped rooting for a single team after they ruined baseball, somewhere in the mid-to-late 90s. Steroids and ridiculous ticket and beer prices have me turned off of pretty much all sports. If I didn't have a bald spot I'd probably not wear any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephThomas Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Is the lower row of pegs at a different angle than the ones above, or is that an optical illusion? Looks nice, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Krenov would have come up with something far more clever. This was a lazy man's design who just hacked out the first thing that came to mind. Once everything is hung you can't see the damn things anyway. I could have made them even more basic than I did. 8 minutes ago, JosephThomas said: Is the lower row of pegs at a different angle than the ones above, or is that an optical illusion?

Does your wife know that's the ratio? 3-5 years whining : 1 day of woodworking So if she wanted a dining room table that would take you a week to make - that would be 15-25 years of whining? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Edgar Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 13 hours ago, Eric. said: Nice rack! Not the normal male to male talk......Educate me, I am looking into the Domino tool. I am familiar with the biscuit type joiner and the reference marks that you line up to ensure the two parts line up. What did you use for reference points on the support and again on the individual hooks? What was used to anchor the hooks while mortise get the receptacle?

Eric. Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I made my marks, set the Domino in place, held a square to the base to make sure it stayed properly aligned, then plunged. "Freehand" I guess is how I would describe it. I don't know if it's common practice but it's how I usually do it. If I'm doing something super-critical on a big and important piece, I'll set up stop blocks to be sure it doesn't wiggle around on me mid-plunge. But I took the gamble on the racks since they were minor projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 That rack looks great. I got a lot of harassment from my mom and girlfriend this weekend for my pile of coats that i don't have storage for. It's my place so the pile in the corner is staying for the near future though.

The wife and kids got home about an hour ago. There is now a pile of jackets and bags and crap just below the new racks. Never saw THAT coming.

Still, a nice project Eric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one benefit of getting old and fat is you rarely need a coat. Even on 10F days I am fine outside with long sleeves and gloves.
