So, I'm sitting here covered in sawdust and feeling sweaty and icky... but very accomplished! My father and I built a boa rack today! Here are a few pics:
This is the box frame: We made most of the rack from 3/4 inch oak veneer plywood (expensive stuff, $39.99 a sheet):
These are the aluminum shelving rails installed... these are so I can move the shelves. This means I can switch out tubs!
The backing goes on... 1/4 inch oak floor laminate (and my father lol):
Shelves in... with underbed adult boa tub. We had to clip out the wheels on the tub so the shelf would sit flush... but it ended up perfect!
Different size tubs... as I said, the shelves can move (the clips on the rails can be moved up or down 1/2 inch, meaning the shelves can be moved up or down in 1/2 inch increments):
The final product, shelves leaning against it:
All that's left to do is some sanding---I want to finish it---run some flexwatt, and viola!!! I think it turned out awesome! The veneer plywood was expensive. But it's very heave and, when finished, will last forever. I'm so excited to get the kids in it!![]()
