Woodworking For Dummies!

bonita dan · 11-22-2008, 01:21 PM

Just couldn't deal with mess any longer and once one of the 50wides went over the other night and took out everything in the room,it was time for a change like our Gub-ment. This is what it looked like before.

So after copying an idea from a friend,the R&D department went to work. Now I know what some af yall are thinking,Bonita Dan just go to the store and buy one of those rod racks for a hundred bucks,I don't think so,Homey don't play that! The R&D guys worked tirelessly for days coming up with the design with the help of a long time friend "BEER". Somewhere in the neighborhood of of 6 or 7 cases of the stuff. So after a trip or 2 to one of the local large chain hardware stores for supplies,mostly sch.40-1 1/2" pvc pipe,some caps and a box or screws and then another trip to a friends scrap wood pile the build team went to work.Oh yea,cant forget the liquor store. Heres what they came up with.

Purdy aint she! Thats old world craftmanship from the guys at Redneck Rodholder Inc. And heres the end result.

No more mess! Total cost for the build has not been estimated yet but we'll just say $30 bucks for raw materials, gas traveling between the store and the factory $20 bucks and another $200+ for the Beer to make it all possible. Ha,really stuck it to the man this time!

Pretty good job for only$200.00 worth of beer. I like it!

Two bills on beer?

Slow night, eh?

One question to ponder.

How do you get 8ft rods IN & Out of it when you only have a 8ft ceiling?

DOUBLE "D" & LV · 11-23-2008, 12:07 PM

With allthe beer, the R&D dept had an epiphany to cut slots in the cieling to fit the rod tips.

Nice job. It cleaned up well.

I just finsihed cleaning my garage, and have the same problem with poles. However, I want something that mounts on the wall and puts the poles in a single row. I was at Pinksnappers house and had what I want, just can not remeber what it is I want. I forgot what it looked like and how he built it. So - if anyone has a photo of thier pole holder mounted on a wall, which will reveal how I could make mine. I would appreciate it.

BT,

Easiest way I found -- and what I use -- is simple eye hooks bolted into the studs in the wall. It hangs them horizontally with fairly even weight distribution.
