Very Simple Spray Paint Rack

Mere minutes to make but 30+ years to get around to it.

I’ve been needing a spray paint rack for years — I have a hundred spray cans on various shelves here and there. So, I finally built one.

I had some 3/8" dowels, an eight foot piece of 1x6 and a piece of scrap paneling. It took about 35 minutes to make but 30+ years to get around to it.

I cut the 1x6 in half and clamped the two pieces together. I measured down a couple of inches and drew a line across the board at 45 degrees.

Then I measured down 4 1/2" and drew a second line. I did this a total of ten times for the boards I had.

I then came in 2 1/2" from the back and 3/4" from the front of the board and marked the drill spot.

I then drilled a total of 20 3/8" holes, stuck in the dowels, put both sides together, found a scrap piece of paneling and screwed it to the back. You could put a couple of wheels on the back corners so you can roll it when tilted back.

If you put it on your Round Tuit list now, you should be cuttin’ lumber ‘round 2053.
