Sam Salvati Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Got tired of things being leaned against a wall and fast becoming a pile, so I made a stock rack. It was 80% done being in that I scavenged the frame from an old shop I used to work at, then just welded studs onto it. Used 1/2 round for the upper ones and some 5/8" for the lowers, much more organized now. I have carried that big steel rack for 3 years now, FINALLY *angry yet accomplished fist shake* it is used for something :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGRAFF Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 That looks great! Sometimes I wish my rack was horizontal. I always lose things behind the big stuff in my vertical rack. BTW awesome power hammer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks J! The way I welded the studs on, this can be flipped up too. That's my Anyang hammer! I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOblacksmith0530 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great rack, I have something similar that mounts to a wall in my shop with angle iron bolted to the posts and the pegs welded on an angle like yours. Save your small lengths of 1" box tubing and if your material exceeds the length of the pegs slip a short piece of tubing over it and viola a wider shelf that is temporary.

Fatboy Rider Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 nice job Sam, for longer stock I made a overhead hanging rack. just "t"s bolted through studs, so i could buy 20' sticks, this might help in your compact shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Moblacksmith yes I do do that :D I do still need to figure out a shorties storage though. FR thanks! I like that idea. I have some 5/8" J bolts I could bend into U tops and screw them through the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieryFurnace Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So to understand correctly from the pictures, you got the self contained air hammer before you got a steel rack? OK! A bit out of order ya think? LOL I'm just messing with ya! :D Nice looking rack! There is something about a good steel rack with the long bars all arranged neatly, that just looks cool! :D Must be a blacksmith thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOblacksmith0530 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Shorties storage for me is a bunch of 4: box tubes cut to different lengths welded to a base plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
