Finishing Rack

My shop is quite small.  The work that I do also demands a wide variety of capabilities.
One of those capabilities is spray finishing.  Ideally this would be done in a separate building altogether (mostly because of dust), but for now I need to be able to finish cabinets or furniture with a certain degree of efficiency.  Hopefully the addition of that capability does not take away from the shop's primary function: woodworking.


Here is a picture of my new racks.  The A-frame is for panels and other larger objects.


This little guy is for drying doors and drawer fronts, or smaller objects.  I would finish these items on the table, then transfer them to the rack for drying.  It holds about 20 items in a relatively small space.

It also comes apart and stores away.  The removal of 6 screws accomplishes this.


Here is the A-frame rack loaded and ready for spraying.


A close-up of the pipe that supports the rack.  The whole thing just hangs from the ceiling and rests against the edge of the work table.



This is the fun part.  The rack folds up and away when not in use.

Hooray!

  2. I think you should add some 80's Transformer sound effects to this video.

  3. Pretty slick - you might do well making furniture for the 500 sqft condos in Vancouver with those nifty ideas!
