Choosing a Rack for Paint Bottles

[Stevekir]

Looks good sir, but have you been collecting birds eggs in you spare time, second shelf from the bottom?Martin.

Birds eggs! They are beach pebbles. I wouldn't want to be the bird that laid the oddly shaped one second from the left!

I've just seen these on ebay...Both £12.95 inc P&P from the UK

They look good, and a good price.

I would like to see a photo, please. (No pressure!)

Well I've finally done it...

And here it is...

nice one Andy, so nice and neat wont to clean my work table up plz,

Hi Monica, I'd love to, but being a man means that my cleaning skills aren't actually very good, lol.

As Joe mentioned, everything looks neat and tidy, but that's because the rack is brand new, as are 90% of the rack's contents, I'm only now starting my first build after a 33 year break.

 

[Stevekir]

Very professional, including the black paint. Putting my stuff on the rack has tidied up a lot.

 

[Andy Mac]

You're right Steve, when everything is back in it's home it all looks tidy, there's no guarantees of course just how long it'll stay like that for.

it is nice Andy as you can see all what you need at a glance, instead off , picking up 10 bottles to find what your after,

and keeps your table clear off unnecessary mess, one thing i found is after using your paints over and over, the name

and code dose wear off so i put clear tape over the name off the paint so its always easy to see the name :rolleyes:

 

[Andy Mac]

Thanks Monica, you're right, it can be a bit of a nightmare trying to find the right paint when the jars are all disorganised, I just hope I can keep it all tidy and it doesn't get messed up after 5 mins, lol.

I like the tip of the clear tape over the label, I'm going to do that before they get unreadable.

well i know this is an old one but finally got around to making up a couple off paint racks, found some

wood laying around in the shed, the other half would not ever cut the wood so got out the big scarily power saw, :oops:

and 3hrs later 2 racks which i think turned out not bad to say :rolleyes:

Excellent Moni, well done. You'll be able to find your paint a lot easier now.

 

[Stevekir]

Very well made. They will solve the problem of not finding what you want. But you must have attacked the job with enthusiasm: the timings on your post showed you started at 1:33 am today and finished at 4:33!

 

[monica]
