I thought I'd put my "Resistant Materials Design and Technology" GCSE to good use and have a play in the garage. After a few hours I'd created this:

I haven't worked with wood since I left school almost five years ago. I really enjoyed making this but it's amazing how quickly you forget how to do things.

The rack holds six rods. I'll have to make another because I own more than 6 rods.

Perhaps I'll take some pictures as I go next time.

The bottom is mostly dowel joints but I lost patience with it (because I'm out of practice) and the top panel is just screwed together.
