Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

new rack ( dial up warning )
Built this for a buddy , thought i'd show the steps.
I cut the shelves 35 3/4 " L x 16 7/8" W.
I attatched the side rails and backstops in the first 2 pics. The 3rd is adding 2x4s for attatching wheels.

next phase

I added the plywood side after i leveled it up and its only temperary for now.
I use 3 1x4s per side and the ply fits between the back 2 for that nice dark spot.

That's a great design Bryon. If you don't mind me asking, what did your final materials bill run?

Sorry it took so long to respond
I'm out of town right now. Final material cost isn't done yet since I still have a few things to wrap up on it. I'm going to stain the inside of the side and back panels to help to keep it nice and dark and waterproof all the wood.
It'll be heated by 11" heat tape , 1 piece per level . When i run the heat I'll take more pics and post them in the thread. It would be a little cheaper on materials if you use the scrap pieces of melamine for the sides but it adds a buttload more weight doing that so i dropped an extra $11 for a piece of luan plywood and it was big enough to cover both sides and the back from 1 sheet. When its done I'll do a complete parts list as it will stand ready to deliver. So far as I can tell just materials isn't that expensive and it only takes 10 - 14 hours from picking up supplies to building to wiring in heat.
