Title: New Bow Rack
Post by: Emmons on February 09, 2007, 04:14:00 PM

First I want to thank Bodork for posting pics of his bow rack.  I like the idea so I tried my hand at building one.  Although not a nice as Bodork's, I don't think it turned out half bad for only having hand tools.  The next one I build I will have a adjustable meter box.  I cut the angles on this one by hand, only a hand saw, drill, and palm sander.  Let me know what you think?

James, make a dusting your hands off motion by brushing them together and repeat after me, "Another job well done!"

Excellent job. It'd be scary what you could do with some power tools. Nice rack.

Very nice! I just printed a picture of Bodorks rack also. I am in the process of makeing one also. Have it nearly done except for putting the pegs on and putting a finish on it. I had some very nice spalted cherry on hand. I am going to work on it some more when i get off of here. That is one of the greatest things about this site, you get some great ideas and advice from the people on here! Steve

Wow that is beautiful...I wish I had your skills to do a rack.  I love that it is in the broadhead shape.

Thanks everyone, But I can not take credit for the design of this Rack.  Bodork posted his photos and I ran with it.  This rack is not hard to make just some 1 x 2 lumber, glue and some wood screws.  The next one I will spend a little more time on.  Most important part is it get the bows off the floor and the wife like it.

James, You are too humble. Yours is ALOT NICER than mine. I've sent out plans to quite a few people here and can't remember if I sent some to you or if you just went from the picture. If I sent plans, I hope they helped and if you went from the picture only, you did a heck of a job! Makes me want to re-do mine in something other than 1x2 white pine and get it out of the garage.

Bodork,

I just when by the picture.  I made a full size drawing first, then took the dimensions from the drawing.  Damn I did not know you had some plans, would have saved me some time.  I just use 1x2 pine also, but stained it.
