Hello,
Well, it's trying real hard to rain and I can't put the tools outside to make room to work on the rack, so I figured I'd do the next best thing - take some pictures of the work in progress.
I snapped some shots of both sides.
The ones showing the cleated side, show the side that ill close towards the wall.
Right now, it's a bit catty-whompass since the bracing isn't all installed yet and there's only the middle set of wheels installed.
I'm in the process of making the mount for the set of rollers/wheels that will get fixed to the end of the rack. Those are the nylon rollers (rated 300# each) made for under a bedframe. I'm going to mount them in a 2x6 with a glob of GE Silicone II caulk in the hole. The GE will both keep them in place and act as a "spring".
I took a closeup of the cleat/support halfway installed and some shots showing about what the supports will be like with the pipes in them.

when its closed, you can use the back side for a clamp rack too :D

Great idea;

Now if only I had enough floor space that I could open it. :D

Amen, as nice as this looks, if I were to make one all I'd end up with is some wood that would never see the light of day again :)
