Bike Rack of Wood

When you have an expensive bicycle you don't like to store it in a garagebox or whatever. It is more interesting to place your bike in the living room, bed room, etc. Therefore I designed a stand made of wood, which is easy to create.

What you will need are the follow things:

* materials:

- wooden plate (140x60 cm);

- wooden beam (40x40 cm);

* tools:

- jigsaw, mitre saw;

- glue, clamps;

- grinding machine

- varnish

When you use recycled materials it will cost you just a tube of glue :)

Step 1: Sawing the Different Parts

The drawings are uploaded in PDF file here. You can also find them on:

When you drew the lines on the plate you can saw them with a jigsaw. It's a good idea for screwing and/or clamping the "double parts" (horizontal & bow) together before sawing, on this way they are identical.

The beams you can saw with a mitre saw.

Step 2: Gluing the Parts Together

I've glued all the parts. Of coarse you can screw them together but gluing give a cleaner look. I only used 3 screws to fix the groundplate.
