Ya, your problem is now you have to fill them up with some fireworks and "break them in". Dont you know "used" racks work much, much, much better than shiny brand new racks, like cast iron pans? :D

I think anyone that is on this site has a problem, not saying it's a bad problem though.

Those are beautiful racks!!
I would love to see your plans/dimensions! I'm about as mechanically inclined as a turtle, so having a buddy construct for me.

Lately, any rack that I have been throwing together, yes throwing together, not nearly as pretty as the pics above, have been in the 18 or 36 count to match up more with my Cobra modules.

Nice job. Now you have to "burn them in".

Instructions for the 50 shot rack (really just 5 of the 10 put together):

For each 10 shot DR11 straight rack, the ends are 2x3x12 (two). The bottom is 2x3x24 (one). 2.5 inch screws, 2 per bottom each side. The flat top and bottom of the long face is 1x4x27 (four). 1.5 inch screws. Make sure to pre-drill all so the wood doesn't split. Glue is optional. Once you've gotten 1 put together make 4 more. Put them all next to each other and secure with 1x4x19 lumber (four), 1.5 screws. Attach handles on both sides for easier transport. Once loaded these things are like 80 pounds! No anchoring needed.

As you can see, the materials list is: 1x4 lumber, 2x3 lumber, 1.5 and 2.5 inch screws, light gate handles. Easy, cheap, effective.

I hate people like you that can "throw together" stuff like that. Beautiful work! I wish I had your carpentry skills.

Not to mention a garage floor you can eat off of! OMG....
