I am back in the shop for a few days. Need to rest the old rear end from way to many long trail rides on my favorite horse. Headed to Blowing Rock on Friday and it will be at least 7 hours in the saddle.
Back to the reason for my thread. I thought I would at least start my vertical wood storage project. Looked at several other threads and learned a lot. As I was looking for ways I could screw even this simple project up I found at least one potential thing. I was planning on running 2X4's horizontally on the wall. With holes drilled in them for the wood supports. Seems to me I would find it very easy to end up with the holes not lined up vertically.
I then thought the solution might be to drill the holes on the drill press using a fence and then turning the 2X4 vertical. The holes would definitely be directly over each other. I then thought it might even be a good idea to lean the 2X4 a few degrees from vertical. Seems to me this would help with holding the boards stable. I also thought it would be easier to increase my storage area, with the 2X4's vertical, as I move down the wall.
Did I mention I am using pipe to support the boards.
What am I missing?
