    Re: some stacks i made
    thanks
    I mainly did it by eye BUT i will sit down and figure out everything needed to make one stack.
    I do know it was not much money maybe about $150.00 per stack including lights and flex
    And once i did the first one the second one only took about 2 hours to build <But that is once i bought all the right tools
    Thanks again for the comments

    That's pretty much exactly what I was explaining to my father in law that I wanted.
    I hope he can make me some like that.

    SIRS
    Re: some stacks i made
    Ok here i go it will take a few post but i will try and explain as much as i can.Remember i did this with no plan.So i might not remember it all
    And all the sizes and supplies are to the best of my memory, But should be pretty close
    So to make this
    http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...C/IMG_0211.jpg
    you will need
    about 12-1x2's 8 foot long
    6-1x4'sx 8 foot long
    4 sheets of tile board (actually 31/2 but can only get full sheets)
    4-18" lights for the inside
    now with the flex i bought 4 -11"x18" already connected pieces
    you can go with something else or if your good ,connect them all to one cord
    the nthe rest of the stuff is tools,liquid nail,screws ,brad nails or staples,and wood glue
    Well i think i covered what is needed
    forgot to say .the supplies listed here is to make one stack
    6 foot high of 4 seperate enclosures being 3 foot wide x 2 foot deep x 18 " high

    SIRS
    Re: some stacks i made
    Ok now both of my stacks are built diffrent so i will tell you how the one i have pictured is being built
    Here you will cut
    4-1x2's @6'
    and then cut 10-1x2's @ 2'
    http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...C/IMG_0220.jpg
    Then attach the smaller pieces to the inside of the longer ones
    Here is where you will have to evenly space each piece
    and make sure that both sides are spaced the same
    It should look something like these These will be the sides

    I think he left us Jenn.

    Probably for the best as the racks I have take up enough space in this apartment as it is. lol
