Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone with pipe rack making experience could offer some advice?
I'm thinking of making a simple pipe rack to accommodate around 14 pipes, most likely in two rows. I was thinking of using two pieces of timber, with holes in the tops for stems and then a routed out groove or cut in the bottom piece for the bowls to rest in. These two timber pieces would then be separated by a series of long bolts and spacers. I hope that explains what I've got in mind. Nothing fancy.
Now, for the wood working freaks amongst us, whats the best way of making an indent or cut into the bottom of the rack? I could see a solution with a plunge router, but that would require a fair bit of jig making. That would probably make a oval, egg-shaped indentation. The other kind of racks i've seen have a cut for the pipes that looks like an intersection between the timber and a cylinder at a downward angle. This looks like some kind of cutting or sanding tool applied at an angle and then worked forward toward the axis of the rack. This is what I'm thinking of trying but wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of the tool to use?
Cheers,
Brad
