I want it to go from the ground to the top...just like it does in the plans.
Let me know the $$ and I dont want it built out of some exotic hardwood, harvested by a tribe of Virgins in the amazon for $300 a linear foot or anything like that...

The plans call for something pretty short, and most that built that "cross" one say they wished they'd had built it taller.

The itstactical.com cross one is cedar. I can see the advantage of that. If you don't care about all that, pine would be the cheapest.

Not yet. NJCs is the prototype "cross" version, and I'm going to do a more complex one to judge which makes more sense, then I'm bringing in the big guns (you) to help me turn a few out.

Easy killer. Cops and .mil guys get them for material costs IF this doesn't turn out to be a pain in the ass. Otherwise, this ain't Unicef.

How tall do you want it?

OK. I got my hand sander and a pile of cypress when you get your shit together. And a beer.

36 inches will fit in the spot I am looking at.

It will rarely have my PC on it because it is in the car all the time. It will always have my two chest rigs and my secondary pistol rig.

I dont have a helmet...nothing of value there needs protecting. My closet floor is hand scraped bamboo though which is uneaven...how do you plan on accomodating the variation so as to not have it rock ?

Copy.

Any other critical measurement for that spot?

It'll be square and level.........that's all I can tell you.

ETA: well, I could add some leveling feet on it if you think it's necessary.

Cedar, or some other smelly wood...does not need to be a dowel, but an erection of sorts to hang a boot on...one on each side..

When I built my spear rack I wanted it to angle back towards the wall. I bought some leveling feet at Lowes. You drill a hole and hammer the threaded part into the legs of the stand then screw the foot in. Works great.

I think I might install a wall mounted something behind my clothes in the closet.

I used poplar for both my spear rack and my bow rack.

Thick padded feet of felt or rubber will help prevent rocking on an otherwise level but bumpy floor like scraped bamboo.

I've been using an office chair on wheels the last few days. Rifle goes across the arms and the vest goes over the back.

I already have plans to modify my "gear table" to have a combo lock shelf. It wouldn't stop a burglar from taking the whole table or ripping it open, but it will stop curious hands!

Gear table?
July 15th, 2014
AB

Yep. Has all my commonly used stuffs on it and I put a raised edge on it so my smaller stuffs wouldn't roll off. There's space underneath for a shelf with a door on it that I will use when the munchkin gets mobile.
