matto Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Ya this was just to get them out of my hammer rack. LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have a smallish steel table I built years ago, it has a rim around and I made hammer / tong racks that simply clip over the rim. I'd planned on making a slanted free standing rack more of the clip on racks would clip to. Slanted so tong and hammer handles wouldn't interfere with the next rack down. The idea was I could store hammers and tongs by type out of the way and hang the ones I was using for that job on my table. The table is also excellent for demos. The tree got me before I got the storage rack built but maybe someday. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aessinus Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nice rack! Planning to put in a school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Frosty hope you get that rack done would be neat to see!! And sounds very useful. Aessinus have thought about it. Already have 4 stations in the shop and could put in 6 more if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I've seen drawers put to fantastic functionality in a shop- the smith had many rolling cabinets full of drawers, each drawer held 2 or 3 tongs, and that way, they were out of the way until needed. Sometimes the unconventional solution is the one which works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some heavy-duty commercial bread loaf pans, made in gangs of four, that should just about fit under wood pallets. A stack of those could make a dandy "chest-o-drawers". Thanks for the inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Very nice idea. I just happen to have an old cast iron blower stand that needs something done with it since the blower was rusted solid and had to be trashed. I wonder how many concentric rings I could make to maximize the capacity before it got too big??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
