Sometimes I end up making things that I don't consider to be overly exciting but needs to be done...

Coatrack for the utility room ;)

Then I needed to move the clamps from the wall as I needed the wall space for something else, plus there wasn't room for the other clamps I want to get so I decided to make a mobile clamp stand, it's not the best looking bit of woodworking in the world but it works and it only sits in the workshop...

Not in the league of the fine achievements I see every time I visit this thread but nevertheless I finally got around to making the 1st of 2 or 3 cd storage units. All because I have them on a shelf in my small workshop along with 100,s of vinyl albums and singles taking up valuable space .It was a case of using what I had so not perfect . I did however enjoy the whole process from design to construction so here it is …
I made a few mistakes I’m sure you will spot but overall I’m pleased with it. 🤗🤗
Ah found it - I think that's bloody great!! Very nice! You absolutely should be proud of it too!

A tip for coat racks is to hide the fixing screws under the hooks.

Thanks - i, m planning a 2nd but unfortunately a recent worn out clutch has left me £700 lighter so it will likely be a little later this year . 🤗 lots of examples of the members work here and like I said it’s from an across the board of skills and abilities.
 
I’m in the process of swapping vans & as it’s a completely different make I need to make new racking, I’d seen a thread about cheap medical systainers & found someone local selling them for £10 each which I figured was a bargain & ideal to base the new racking around.

The systainers are quite tall so I decided to make ply boxes to fit inside so I could easier access the gear at the bottom of the box, a mate cnc’d me the base of the boxes from a program someone posted on hear, after that it was just a case of cutting the sides to size & running some grooves in the bases.

I made 12 two for each systainer simply glued & pinned together

They fit nice & snuggly, I’ve added a simple dowel handle to lift the top box out.

The systainers are going to sit above the rear wheel arches so I made a start on a unit to hold them.

I’m trying to keep the weight down as much as possible so it’s made from 60x24mm redwood & ply, this is as far as I’ve got up to present

There’s more to do to get it finished but I think this will work well & eventually hold 4 systainers
Nice work, I bought a bunch of those covid systainers as well, some of my original ones are getting knackered and I need to get organized. I like your rack design, its nicer than the normal plywood slabs.
That might be my drawing, if so glad to see it put to such good use.
