J W Bennett Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 . I am working on this pot rack for my kitchen. This was just fitting things together last night. Still has a ways to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Wow! I am amazed at your detail. Acorns, leaves and all. That is really a beautiful pot rack you have made. Nice work. Thanks for posting the pics. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Great looking rack, John. I just had a couple ask me if I could make one for them. They haven't given me the go ahead yet, though. Thanks for posting. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Very nice, just don't send the pics to Deb, she'll want ME to make her one! Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John NC Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Uh oh, my wife just saw those pics. Great work, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Very nice looking! I would be nervous about the wine glasses and pots sharing space though (of course my wife favors wine glasses that cost up to $60/each). You might want to move the light too as there could be a lot of shadows beneath the rack. Or maybe install a lightbox type fixture that would diffuse the light enough to prevent any hard shadows.

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Great work! One question, how is it hooked up to the ceiling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J W Bennett Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 When I get it done I will post more pics. I forged 16 more leaves this evening and 8 more acorns. Bad creek - I cut the heads off of 3/8" lag bolts and welded them on the ends of the branches and then screwed them in the rafters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksnagel Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I was amazed with your first pics and now that you have finished it I stand in awe. That is the finest looking pot rack I have ever seen. It is one of the finest anything I have seen. I aspire to become a fraction of your ability in creating art. Amazing.

Ben Hartley Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I can't help but think "why are all the photos of that amazing coffee table upside down?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Very, very nice. As a woodworker, I'm a big fan of white oak, and that just makes your artwork more appealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J W Bennett Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thank you all for your feed back and kind words. I have been busy with commitments and hadn't had time to reply. I am having trouble finding the lights I want so I may have to make them. I am working on a coffee table design but it will probably have to wait for winter. Once again thanks for the kind and encouraging words. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
