Default Quick and easy rocket rack

After looking through many threads and seeing a lot of your guys' really nice assembled rocket storage, I've always wanted to get my stuff organized. I wanted to do something that stores the rockets vertically, but I never really took the time to make something. Well, a little messing around at Home Depot the other day, and I had an idea....

Combine one part masonite peg board (1' x 4');


some common drywall screws;



some 1/2" dowels, cut to various lengths (and pre-drilled);


and a bunch of your old, spent motor casings;


Jam the spent motors onto the dowel rods;


feed a screw through one side of the pegboard, with the dowels on the other;


And Bingo! Easy rocket rack!


Full up with some goodies.....


$6 bought me a 2' x 4' sheet of pegboard (the other half of which will be rack #2). Two 36" long 1/2" dowels at a buck a piece made the one rack (I had a bunch of drywall screws laying around already). So, for about $10-14, you can make yourself two of these!

Later,
EV

Default MiG-27 Firefox!

Durnit. EV, you posted the plans for the beautiful new Brit concept kit the other day, but I'm still hoping you draw up the plans for the FireFox. I have the N/C sitting here, just waiting for the rest of it. And I couldn't even remember why I set it aside with "EV" in the bag until just now seeing the FireFox sitting happily on the edge of your cool new rack!

Great rack idea, too! I'd add a piece of felt to the bottom to insure that no screw scratches happen underneath.

Default Rocket Rack

That's a great idea. You can also expand on it to have drying racks for primer and paint. If you have the room of course.
