Introducing the world's most bombproof vinyl rack...

Recommended Posts

Use what you got i guess.   I had 4 sticks of 1.5x2.0" .120 wall tubing in the shop.... and I'm tired of taking vinyl in and out of boxes and wanted the shelf space back...  so I made this...

You could hang your vinyl, cutter, truck etc on that lol nice work. What is that 1x1.25 tubing

I was wodering about the weight myself. May end up with some heady duty casters if you end up moving it a lot.

Probably weighs about 200#.  No endcaps, no powdercoating, no casters.  Was supposed to be quick and dirty and cheap.  Built from steel i had left over from a fab job...

I would rattle can paint it though just to keep things clean around my vinyl. Nice work. Good use of leftover material. Tig welds?

Dint feel like painting it... It's clean metal tho. Scotch brited and wiped down. Mig welded this. Faster.

Very stout. But I'm sure it's heavy as all get out. Next time I go to the metal salvage yard-I'll have to eyeball some of the scrap laying around. It can still be pretty expensive.

 

But it looks great.

Yeah, it would be cheaper to buy a rack if you had to go buy the materials to make my rack.  Like i said, a customer had already paid for this stock, so it was a freebie...
