[TheForge] YAK vertical rack

Sun Nov 10 12:58:00 2002

            Mike, I'm joining you fellows on the vertical rack plan,  I'm in
the middle of a wing shed addition to the shop that will have half of a 40
foot wall as verticle rack.  I really liked Doug Wilson and Bob Bergman's
racks.........seems such a great way to stock the shorts in front of the 10
foot lengths to use them up instead of having them continuosly fall thru the
full length racks I've got now.
        I did start with some 10-14" pipe sections to stand things in
vertically for shorts, but the stuff gets overwhelming and clutters the rack
even with that move.
        As always looking forward to the added space.

Ralph
