    I am going to do a write up with pictures on the next mortar tub rack that I build. Its going to be a six level rack with the tubs offset to avoid snagging them on the sipper valves. I use the small mortar tubs from Home Depot.

    I learned the hard way not to trust all of the plans that you see online. I did, and all of my measurements were off because Home Depot changed the tubs that they carried since the plans were written.

    I used the same basic design, but I had to remeasure everything and its still not all right. It will be a little while, but it will be done.
