CD Rack From Old CDs

Step 5 Assemble the rack

Now assemble the rack. Put the rods through once CD and put a hex nut on the one end. Now put 7 washers on each rod and then another CD. Every 5 CDs you can put a hex nut on and tighten the whole lot up, but be careful not to crack the CDs, like I did, twice. A hex nut is as wide as 2 washers, so you only need to put 5 washers and a hex nut on for every fifth CD.

Once you’ve put all the CDs on, tighten it all up so that there’s no play in the CDs or threaded rod.
