Default $15 rack
Hi guys. I attach pictures of my new rack that I made from 5mm aluminium plate. It was inspired by some company that asked $200 for their very similar product. You can make your own using my drawings. Print it, cut and glue it to the aluminium. Use drill and saw to cut it out. It takes one afternoon to complete the job.

What are the dimensions of it?
When I opened the adobe file it looked rather small..
Also, did you rivet it together or weld it?

Dimensions would be nice. I could make a 3-D Model in NX. Then it could be cut out with a CNC machine.

Is it still $15 bucks if you cut one on a CNC machine?

Just looking at the picture , it's bolted together. Nice looking rack!!
It looks like more than $15 worth of aluminum plate to me. Did you have to buy your aluminum or did you have a freebee source?
