so i have decided to follow this plan:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQOoktFZ-FE

this guys maternity rack is good and simple to do like the other 6 bay rack plans you can find on here. the only issue is that he doesn't tell you anything clearly. no supplies list no wood list etc....

so far i have bought a bunch of 2x2's, 4 2x4's, 18 dollar tree dish tubs, and 1/4 wire mesh.

my plans are for it to be 3 tubs wide with 5 rows.

for it to be three tubs wide, you will need it to be 37 3/8" long with 15" long sides..... if you want to add tubs lets say 4, here is the length calculation: 4x12+1 3/8=49 3/8" or (X)x12+ 1 3/8=Y

the short shorter pieces go inside the longer. and you will need one more shorter pieced than tubs, this would be for the runners/sliders

as for the top which this guy didnt do, ill be adding food dividers as well to the top. so that will use up some more 2x2s

now to make the slides/tub holders, he really didnt describe how he did it with the wood, so for ease of this, i have found trim that is 3/4x3/4x10'. with this ill cut down to 15" and use it on the middle runners, i will not use it on the outsides like the guy did in this video. then for the actual rail, i will be using 1x3s due to the fact he had issues with tubs falling when using 1x2. i found this in the video comments when i was looking for wood//supply list..

**For spacing between runners, you will measure out 12" between each 15" runner, how i did this for correct spacing was to measure from the CENTER of each runner/side.

**For spacing between "shelfs", i will be going with 7" spacing due to having a watering system going in instead of individual bottles.

**For trimming the dish pans, they do have a raised handle deals, all i did was use a razor blade and trimmed the plastic all the way around the handle part so that it would be flush to the rest of the tub.

pictures are to come, i made one quick frame but i had to stop to tend to other business... hopefully by latter tonight i will have pictures and a good step by step.......

Thanks for the read,
