i build that rack 1 year ago.
wife was going to buy one after we got firewood – i said: you better go to work and ill take care of it 😛
if she would have bought one, i think that size they run around 300-400 bucks here.
Wow, 400 dollars for something like that is pretty crazy. How much in materials do you thing you have? It also looks amazing too!!
I saw a rack in a local store and also on craigslist and they wanted so much.
I used:
4x 4x4x8
2x 2x6x12
1x 2x6x8
6x lag bolts
1 box of spax 2-1/2″
very cool!!
ya the price of some stuff is crazy, but I guess they play on the fact some people can’t or don’t know how to build stuff……
I assume that too
I just in AWE that you burn that much firewood in Palm Springs Ca. Nice job.
I have fam out there not 100% sure what part but from what they say it stays hot there I’ve only been there for coachella and it was hot!
the winter are cold here too – during the day its nice when the sun shines 60-70 or sometimes up to 80.
Bbut the winter nights can be in the 35-40F.
we use the firewood mostly for the living room to have it nice and cozy in there.
MM do u get a lot sand storms in ur area? I remember being out there for the Coachella event and driving through that for the 2 days we were there man my eyes and skin were dry dude and I had to blow out all the sand from my motor plus I hated hearing the sand just swooshing all over my cars paint
not here where i live…it just depends which area you live in…right there where the casino is (Aqua Calienta Casino) – there its always windy…open field so that the wind can grab the sand and create a nice sandstorm
but ehm the windshields are pretty good sandblasted here 😀 when the sun hits the windshield its so bad so look thru
it was crazy man I wonder how those people in that area keep there cars from getting scratched/clean and there air filters must get clogged pretty quick. it was hard driving in that cus it would get so bad that we couldn’t c the traffic ahead of us.the detail shops probably make good money out there 2
its not that bad with the air filters. ya it can get really bad with the sandstorm

cant say anything bad so far from my tool collection
have to tell you this story; my bosch circular saw fell the other day in my hot tub. the tub was drained but it had rain water in it.
half of the saw was below the water surface….man I was pissed, because I left it on the edge just to bring a piece of lumber in the garage….then I just forgot about my saw. came the next day outside and saw the saw taking a bath lol.
I grabbed the saw and put it out in the sun for 2 days….
I plugged it in and the saw still works – I think that’s a point of quality too haha
I would’ve been pissed to man but thank god it still works man, that’s sighns of a great quality tool 😉
just happy that it stills works 😀
Nice lumber rack. Every now and again are tools need a bath.
but after bathing your tools, the need a long break haha
Yep, I was drilling into a pipe to add waterline to fridge thought s shut off water. Well needless to say both my drill and I took a shower. Drill still works fine and I smell a little better.
haha ya that happens
