RE: looking for ways to store my planes
I just decided to consolidate mine to wall racks, the pricy part is the oak dowels, but the holes are drilled evey 4", if I had to make another pair, I would have drilled the holes every 2" or so. Just 2x4's with the holes drilled every 4" about 1 &3/4" deep at a slight angle, about 10 degrees. cut all the dowels 12" long and plug them in to the rack. They are screwed to the wall and the floor joists above as well.
