How to Make a Inside Hanging Clothes Rack

I came across this same idea which someone used a cut down apple picking ladder .
So i decided to make one for our laundry room.

Step 1: Rack Dimension Illistration

Step 2: Building the Rack

1st- I bought a 1x8x8 pine board.I I then cut it to 4 foot long.

2nd- I then ripped 2 boards 3 1/2 inches wide by 4 foot long on the table saw.

3rd- I put the 2 boards together and marked out 3 inches on center of the board for the 1st and 6th dowel on each end .Then 7 inches on center for the remaining 4 dowels.

4th- I then used a 1/2 inch drill and drilled all 6 holes.

5th- Next i cut 6 1/2 inch dowels 18 inch long and glued the ends and fitted them in the holes.

Step 3: Edges

1st- I used a router and a 45 degree router bit to chamfer all the edges.

2nd- Sand smooth the entire rack and put a coat of paint on it.

Step 4: Accessories

(4) screw eyes
(4) pieces of # 6 chain 5 inches long
(4) 3/16 x2 inch toggle bolts.

Step 5: Screw Eyes

I measured in on all 4 sides 2 inches . Then screwed in the 4 screw eyes.

Step 6: Toggle Bolts

Ist - I first measured out from the wall 5 inches from each corner.The 18 inches out from there .

2nd- I drilled ( 4) 1/2 holes for the toggles bolts

3rd- I then cut (4) 5 inch long pieces of chain and installed the toggles bolts in the holes and tightened them up.

4th- Hook the chain to the screw eyes and your finished and ready to hang clothes up to dry..
