Material List Cut List 6-1/2"

Quantity Item Notes I used scrap 2x4s but to make the building process
1 1” x 8” x 6’ board Alternative would be even easier I recommend buying a 1"x8" board. You
1 6’ 2x4 will be able to get one rack from a single board.
Some 1 1/4” Brad Nails
Wood Glue Or, you can use a single 6' 2x4 to also get one rack.
Stain Your choice on color If you use a 2x4 you will need to resaw it in half
first.

Make the Body
Use a speed square and pencil to line out the marks
for the slits where the pieces will be joined together.
Tape all four blue boards together so the cuts will be
identical. Note: I planed my boards down to 1/2" so I
made my slits 1/2". Adjust this measurement to match
the exact thickness of the wood you are using.

Before moving forward, stain all your boards with
your choice of finish. Once dry, join all four blue
boards together to make up the body of the rack.
They should be a snug fit, use a mallet if needed.
You can use wood glue on these connections as well.
I didn't since my boards fit so tightly

Make the Body
Now take the end pieces and nail them in place
using 1 1/4" brad nails. Turn the unit on it's side
like below to make it easier.
