   Thanks,

   I forgot this pic from the process - 1-1/4" self feed bit.

   I cut the slots with a circ. saw. 

   Important note - Distance from short edge to first slot must be the same on both ends since one side is inverted at assembly. (edit, prospero does not like the abbreviation for assembly.)

   That is a nice setup. Ditto what Gunner said.

   That's really a super idea - and I like the construction detail.  Definitely submit it - I've sold some less useful ideas than that!

   Forrest - gonna' make me a foldin' dryin' rack!

   I was just wondering if you would get more hits on this topic if you would have used the title "check out this rack" or maybe "rate this rack".Any who I sure could have used this rack about a month ago when I painted some trim.I painted all six sides and I think I could paint the entire piece, place it in the rack, and in a couple a hours wala I'm ready to go.Thanks!^^^^^^

   You're probably right about the thread title - I was just trying to be creative.  I almost just named it - "Hey, nice rack!", but thought that would not have been fair.

   one question...do you paint the material while in the rack...seems like you might have shift things a bit as you paint as the arm over the stock might be in the way a bit.

   what I love about your rack is the lack of multi pieces. I built a knock down rack that worked well, but the one in the latest FHB is slick - better than one I built.

   knock down racks are great 'cuz as you place the top board on you are free to brush roll or spray with no impediments (if that's a word)  Their drawback is the clutter they can creat in storing. your's is slick because you could hang it neatly on any wall or tuck in a corner ....nice job.

   We are only painting one side and both edges.  The wife rolls, I brush-out, and about every three pieces we move them into the rack.

   I still have not seen the one in this month's issue, but one issue I have with the racks that let you paint and stack on another layer is "what about drips".  I can be a bit sloppy.  Maybe it is less of a concern than I think it is.

   Sayyyyyy, you're on to something there hoss. Your brain cells were communicating that day. Simple design, effective, adjustable, functional, minimum of space required, minimum of materials, just a little time investment. Very nice. I'll be stealing that one right quick.
