Yoga Mat Rack  4                                                12-2020

 

It's "Semi" Finished Continued 

 

I made some 1/4" diameter wooden plugs to go into the holes once the metal racks are removed. When the clear is dry she can remove the plugs making it easier to install the racks again. 
 

 

 

I'm also going to send her some hardware to hang it with. This will consist of a metal wall anchor and screw, which should hold this with no problem.

Making An Add On Shelf

 

It's hard to believe that I made this yoga mat rack over a year ago and I'm still not finished. But as you know this is joint effort project and there was a change that Tracey wanted so it's time to get back to work. In the picture above you can see the keyhole slot to hang it up. Well it turns out that it moves when she's putting the mat in the rack. I should have foreseen this but I didn't and now it's time to address it.

 

Working With Wood
 

What we came up with is a shelf that will hold some smaller exercise equipment that will be located under and against the rack preventing it from moving. And I'll be matching the species of wood too. Now if Tracey lived closer I could add two key hole slots, but she's back east and I'm out west.


 

 

 

Here I'm cutting some pieces to make this new shelf out of.
 

 

 

Letting things dry over night.
 

 

 

The width of the maple should match the rack above it, but the walnut will be slightly wider.
 

 

 

Now it's time to cut my pieces to an exact size and with the help of my indicator, this process is very easy.
 

 

 

I cut this piece slightly oversize, measured it, and then made the final adjustments from the picture above.
 

 

 

The planner was next, just a cleanup was needed here.
 

 

 

Squaring and cutting to length.
