Installment 3 "Bigger Pipe Rack"

Well I did a bit more work today on the cabinet. I now have the rails that will hold the stems in place. It's coming together and looking pretty good.

I started out measuring from the bottom board up for the location of the stem rails. I found that with the angle the pipes will set at a 3inch gap between the bottoms where the bowl sets and the rail were the stem rests was just about right. This worked fine with even my shortest pipes (Which also happen too be bents.) I'm not sure how it will work with nose warmers. Anyway, I cut a board 3inches wide and used this for a guide so that all the rails were spaced evenly. I did the same with these as I did the bottoms. I drilled thru the outer board and then drilled a counter sink hole so the screw heads will fit flush.

Next installment will show the rack with the back installed.

Here are a few pictures with pipes included. This will give you an idea how they will fit and the angle they will sit at. As you can see, the 2inch spacing between slots is great and will allow large pipes too fit easily!
