Step 1
Attach End Caps
This simple storage rack is made from pipes and flanges. It works best with a wall that is already covered by drywall.
Purchase three each of 12" galvanized pipes, flanges and end caps.
Screw each end cap to the end of a pipe.
Step 2
Screw in the Flanges
Use a stud finder to locate and mark three wall studs. Screw flanges into the studs using long screws. Use a square or straight board in between screwing in each flange to ensure they are properly aligned (Image 1).
Tighten pipes into the flanges (Image 2).
Step 3
Create a Flat Stock Rack
If the workshop has open studs, try creating this flat stock rack that utilizes gussets that are attached to the studs.
Step 4
Cut the Gussets
Cut 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood into equal triangles to create each gusset.
Cut a 2" x 4" to fit between the plywood triangles. When cutting the corner, make sure the board is oriented in the same direction as the triangles.
Step 5
Finish the Assembly
Clamp the three pieces together (Image 1), then drill holes through all three.
Insert 1/4" carriage bolts. Use a washer with the nut (Image 2).
To mount the rack, use a right-angle drill to drill between studs. Use a carriage bolt to attach the gusset to the stud (Image 3).
