Thanks James and Ken for your comments. It has worked out pretty good so far. I need to start making some sawdust to thin out the rack! I have a big bowling tournament coming up next week and I need to focus on that this week. After the tournament, I will be back in the garage focusing on getting some things done. If I'm lucky, I will have some extra money in my pocket! Thanks again for the comments.
Lorrie,
Nice job.
Thanks for sharing.
For storing shorter boards horizontally, a shorter 2x4 can be installed between the taller 2x's.
A peg spacing of 4", will allow for more assorted adjustments.
For lighter loads, a 3/4'' x 12" long dowel can be used for the pegs.
When making pegs from dowels, cut a 1/32 x 4" saw kerf into one end of the dowel, and chamfer the end 1/8''.
The saw kerf will close, when inserting the dowel into the hole, making for easier insertion, using a twisting motion---and orientate the kerf ''vertically'' in the upright member.
(if the kerf is horizontal, the peg will sag a little, when loaded.
Lubing the end of the dowel, with parafin wax, will make the dowels easier to insert/remove when adjustments are desired.
Have fun making sawdust.
Lorrie, very nice job and design on your lumber storage rack, also like the slide out storage for your sheet goods , a job well done , thanks for sharing , JIM !
It really does hold a lot. I added a 3rd shelf today. I was leaving the top open for longer boards but I'm getting a lot of small lumber from my dad and I needed another shelf to put it on. One of the other pictures I posted shows the 3rd shelf. I made a jig for drilling the holes at a 3 degree angle. I don't have a drill press. The jig came out right. When I was clamping and drilling the holes, I'm not sure that the clamps held the jig at the proper angle. some of the holes seem to be at a slightly different angle. Overall, I think it came out good. Not too bad for a novice. My neighbors kept asking me what I was building?! LOL Thanks Jay for your nice comments.
Lorrie, nice job and it looks like it will hold a large amount of lumber and sheet goods.

I making a hex ring out of 2x4s ripped to 2 ¾ inches wide with 30 degree miters. What setting on the Jig should I used? 1 ½ is too much. Thanks.Continue

Hi All.....I have the 35mm Kreg Jig hinge drill guide. The guide is great for 35mm Hinge Cups, but I have a speciality 40MM hinge cup to drill.Has anyone adapted the Kreg guide to work with 40mm Forsner drill bits? Or have a guide that works…Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
