Nice Rack…


I haven’t posted in forever, so why not screw everything up and post twice in one day?

In my last post I mentioned a discussion I had with my Mastermind group. Well, it wasn’t the only one we had, because somehow or other we started talking about racks for spray paint.

The rack I use is a bit of a Frankenstein.

Frankenstein’s Monster to be more precise. But anyway, here it is:

It started out life as a pair of racks designed to be hung on doorways, which look like this:

I found it over on Amazon (this is an affiliate link, although at the time of posting it is out of stock). The thing I liked about this was that it had the individual wooden slats to hold the cans in place, as well as the small notch cutout at the bottom to hold the cans in place. Lacking any real door space in the layout room, I decided to build a rolling cart rack instead.

I built them individually, put them back-to-back, and then added a platform and casters so I could roll it around the room.

My friend Greg built the nice handle for the top to complete the package. With the handle it’s easy to grab the rack and roll it to wherever I might need it in the layout room. The finished rack will hold up to 40 spray cans, enough for me to have a wide array of colors on hand as needed.

Like last time, I’m going to plug the group. If your modeling is stalled and you need help setting and sticking to your modeling goals, that’s what Mastermind is all about. If you’re interested, you can sign up by going to my Patreon and choosing the SD60M tier. Or reach out for more info.
