Home made rack, thank you jake wallace for the plans!
First real rack made ever.





Finally to my Flexwatt question!

Looking good. You may want to get some of the Melimine edging and iron it on your edge's. Great job. I guess asking all those questions helped. Very nice looking Pastel you got there too.

Nice! How much did the whole rack system run you? (-BPs)

If you could also send me the plans, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to be building one soon also.

It kind of depends are you looking for back heat or belly heat?

[k1ingdomKaa]

Belly heat! I ordered 20 feet of 3 inch flexwatt. i have the power cord and skill to solder. Also, the plans i have! here they are, you can thank jake wallace for them! hes the man behind the plan.


PLANS:


Here are the measurements. You will need 3X - 48"x23.75" melamine boards and 1X - 96"x23.75" melamine board. That's $50 total. Take 2 of the smaller boards and make rip cuts at 16.5", so you have your 2 sides (48"x16.5"). I used the 2 scraps from these cuts to secure the back of the rack. From the other smaller board you need 2 cuts at 16.5", leaving you with 2X - 16.5"x23.75" shelves, and 1X - 15"x23.75" shelf. The smaller one has to be the bottom shelf. From the 96" board you make 5 cuts at 16.5", giving you 5 more 16.5"x23.75" shelves and a leftover piece that gets thrown away. Use a drill, tubs, 1/8" spacers and 2" wood screws to space and attach the shelves.




It costed me like $77 but i baught a few other things, like plexi glass, drawer nobs, foil tape 50 yards for $6 only!, and a few more things. WOOD alone was $51
2x-$10ea.(23.75 by 48)
1x-$31.99ea 49 by 69
(and i have a few peices left. like 3)
Id say build it in the room its going to be in... It weighs so much!
good luck!
