    I needed a bigger wood rack by the stove for this year so I decided to put one together. I bought a couple of stair treads, black iron pipe and some casters to work with. I decided on using stair treads because I wanted something thicker than 3/4" lumber and the stair treads are a full 1" thick. I trimmed the treads to 9" wide and glued them together and trimmed them to length for a finished size of 18"X38". After the wooden piece was stained and finished, I put the pipe pieces together and installed the casters and then installed the pipe. I wanted it on casters to be able to move it for cleaning. It should work out just right for me.

    Looks great Brad! I like the choice of black iron pipe. Real nice work too - did you joint the edge of the boards, or is that right off the saw?

    Real nice job. It has a nice rusticdustrial look to it. That's a Michigan word I think.
