Desperately needed to get a handle on my material, had stuff all over the place always in the way. I bought stock because I couldn't find stuff only to discover I already had some. This was my method to control the mess. Had it powder coated. Multiple storage areas including and belly shelf. I rarely use stock over six feet so most is less than that. I can handle tiny pieces in the yellow bins, organize by type of material, all thread, plate, etc. The only problem was that I should have made it twice as big. Enjoy.

Reply:Given the quality of the design + build of that unit I'm surprised that you had the time to design + build it, your shop must be busy .

Reply:Thanks Gents.bearston--for longer pieces I tend to cut them right away, I don't use lots of longer stuff and rarely over six feet. Didn't spend to much on the design this is the second one of these I built. Here is first one for a buddy: http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=33736 Cheers
Reply:Great job!If it was mine I would leave one side without any hangers to be able to store bigger pieces of plate (say 3'x6'). Other than that, it looks awesome.Mikel
Reply:Very nice ! we all need that one but just have to find the time to do it. You must have many hours invested but well worth it . Now it cost a grand to fill it !
Reply:I really like that design, I need to do something similar for my off cuts. every time I log on here I make more work for myself!Cheers Andrew

Reply:Very nice man I need to make something like that, I have a boat load of aluminum chunks that I don't wanna throw out cause I still use them but I just h r them thrown in a box I made, but I leave steel stalks leaning up by my bench, not a food idea though with 3 Harley's and my bandit and Holstein running around.Miller bobcat 225g - spoolmatic 1Mm250 - 30a spoolMiller spectrum 375Thermal arc 95 Everlast Ex 250As the boiler turns, these are the days of our lives
Reply:It looks real handy to have. Small cutoffs get lost when not put up somewhere.You might want to concentrate on carrying your welds all the way around the corners of the tubing.

Reply:Very nice and a huge amount of work in it! I know one day I'm gone build something similar to hold all kind of metal rod for my lathe but a lot simpler and less time consuming because I got only 13 years before my retirement Maybe I use wood instead Miller MM211Esab Mini Arc 161LTSEsab Handy Plasma 380Duck tapeTy- rapKool-aid
Reply:About how many hours do you have invested in it ?? Curious.
Reply:Thanks gents for the comments. BD1--you're right we shouldn't wait too long to do these for of things, life is short and this sort of thing does save time in the long run.How much time do I have in it?--I would estimate that I have about two weekends of solid work into it. I try to use salvage steel when I can. I can get it at $0.20/lb I would estimate that I have about $150 in materials, ~$75 in the 1200 lb casters and the powder coat cost me $140. All up ~$400. To me it is worth every penny and then some. Like you say I should have made it years ago. Cheers.

Reply:I had a handful of 6" pipe pups about 16" long. I laid 4 in a row on the welding table and tacked them together top and bottom, then added a second row on top and tacked the intersections. That gave me a good starting place for shorts. I also had a piece of 12x12" square that was about 3' long that got tacked to the end of hte rows of pipes. I can sort it into pieces that are 2-3' in the back, with round solid, round tube, square solid, square tube, and the bigger square gets pieces that are too short for the rack, but too big for the pipe pups.
Reply:oops, posted on a linked thread instead of the original, my bad.
Reply:This thread should be stickied.Stuck. Sticked. Great ideas.I know this is a old thread, but I did a search looking exactly for this sort of rack and found this. What a great job you did!Hobart Handler 175Lincoln 225Rockwell 15-017 Drill Press
Reply:Looks real good!!
Reply:Very nice...but I'll bet that's a heavy sumbitch to move when it's loaded up! Still wish I had room for one just like it though...
Reply:Nice. And just the right color too! |
