bamafan2277 50 Posted September 9, 2009 Check out this post here http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,3223.msg164375.html#msg164375 This can easily be built out of 2x6 lumber. If you know someone that does woodworking they can crank this out in no time! I had one built by a co-worker that does woodworking. The pictures further down in the post give you some good close up views. My co-worker who built mine added a couple of 2x4's for bracing on the back so its a stand alone shelf and some side pieces so that the pvc pipes will not slide out the ends. This provides a great storage solution and free's up valueable floor and wall space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarconastic 29 Posted September 9, 2009 I took a 2x4 about 2 foot long, drilled 7 1" holes at a slight angle through the board spaced about 6" to hold rolls apart. Then took a bunch of old broom/mop handles and cut them down to 15" lengths, and glued them int eh holes. Then Screwed the 2x4 to the wall. I made 2, and they hold 14 rolls for me.

bamafan2277 50 Posted September 14, 2009 Its a bit later than I planned on posting these pics. Been a busy weekend. Had a wedding to go to. Here is the rack I had built. I have not installed it yet so its sitting in my garage. You can see the luan board he put on the sides to keep the pvc from sliding side to side. It will work great. and if you have a large roll of vinyl you can remove the pipe below it to make room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamafan2277 50 Posted September 15, 2009 cool. that will probably be my next weekend project. When I get a free moment. lol Im getting ready to setup shop in my basement. Currently I'm cutting out of my bedroom. I ordered me a new laptop and it will be in on Wed. I can't wait!! Gonna use it to cut with. So I can keep my desktop upstairs and if I want to take my cutting on the road I can just grab the laptop. And also use it to show customers proofs in the field. Snap photos with my camera and upload to the PC and do their proof right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted September 15, 2009 Here is a vinyl rack I made out of 3/4 inch pvc pipe. I made something similar with 2x4's and 1" pvc - works great but they are never big enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bamafan2277 50 Posted September 26, 2009 I dont have the template. The guy from work who made it said he drilled 1" holes 3" from each other. about 3/4" from the back of the board. Then he cut 1" slots to the holes to give the pvc pipe a place to slide into He then cut some 2x4s 30" to support the back and put the side boards on to keep the pvc from sliding left to right. The pvc is 3/4"pvc at 30" long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
