Keep it coming Pete. This is interesting to follow. :yes:

You bet Jim.....


Now we are ready to begin assembly of the side panels.

General Disarray with one side panel assembled, and assorted other minor tasks underway, patching of minor defects, and the like.

I have purchased the lumber and have the shelf boards cut....this weekend I hope to begin the final assembly-attaching the side panels to the top frame and finally installing the shelf boards. I've made significant progress already with cleaning up the shelf boards, so I don't see any major problems with starting the final assembly very shortly.


Stay tuned...the rack is going to be massive! :yes:


Pete

Wow, beautifully captured, every single step. Superb work.

Pete.......That is going to be a BIG rack. Looking good so far.

Pete,

This is a fantastic thread. Can't wait to see it completed with your Crown gear parked on it. Keep it coming! :thumbsup:

Terry...thanks. I'm looking forward to it too. It shouldn't be too much longer....:yes:


Pete

Well gang, I've been very busy...and much progress has been made. Now, I'm trying to catch this thread up with progress photos. Tonight I'll post the construction progress up to the point of final assembly and staining.

Here we go....
