WIP - PVC Steel Stand...

[TacticallySharp]

I need a rack/stand to keep my bar stock in the new shop I basically use three types of bar stock. 1084, 1075, and 1095. These come to me from Aldo in 4' sections. To build the unit I'm using a 10' piece of 3" PVC cut into 20" lengths. I clamped them together, then glued them.



After I glued 3 sections together I stacked the 2 sets together, clamped and glued them into a single unit.



Next I will build a plywood box around the sections that is 24" high. That way the uneven section tops will be hidden from view. Now to find some scrap plywood in my wood pile...

I gathered all the scrap plywood I could find...



Measured and marked the wood...





Cut the pieces...



Assembled the pieces with screws...



The only thing left to do is paint it to match the rest of the shop.

Thanks Smallshop. Well I got it painted and decided it needed wheels...









Loaded with steel from Aldo. The short 2' pieces of 5160 I got from him at blade. I plan to start on my performance test knife with it.



Everything except the ball rollers I had. The made in USA rollers cost about $10 each. The bungee cord came from the back of my truck. Now my new steel is organized and in a safe place...
