    When I read the title I thought I was in the wrong forum.

    Looks good, and clean.

    Nice balls....

    When I built mine a couple years ago I didn't glue it just left it compression fit so I can take it out of the basement if I wanted to.

    Nice rack!

    Out of curiosity, estimated cost of such a project?

    Thanks Schultzy. I am a handyman in training I guess. The DIY forum over on AT is a wonderful place to check out various Do-It Yourself projects. A lot of neat ideas floating around there.

    Jeff, maybe I should borrow a page out of your book and just build a TATER SHOOTER for the hog trip? :cool:

    Yep, I did the same on the tuner. Didn't put a drop of glue on it so I could break it down if need be.

    The stand is small enough and the elbows weren't quite fitting right so I decided to glue them.

    My next project is gonna be a doooozy!

    Actually I just paid him the $100 I won at the GTG to build the rack for me.

    I had nothing to do with the project. See those bar stools near the bench? I sat back, cracked open a Coke and watched the kid do his thang.

    In all seriousness, I am honored a real Do-It Yourselfer would use my pictures for a blueprint. :d :deer:

    Ohh by the way, that will be a $45.50 charge for prints Dink. :evil:

    Sorry, I missed replying to this.

    If you bought full length of 1" x 10' PVC you are probably looking at under $30 for both the tuning rack and bow holder. If you have a Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. by your place I would run there. I went to the local Ace Hardware and they charged me a pretty penny for the pipe insulation, various extra elbows, and tees I needed to finish the bow holder off.

    I can't really remember how much the elbows and tees went for at Menards but they were much cheaper. When I thought about building the tuning rack it never even crossed my mind to build a bow holder. Therefore, my budget was a little high due to buying about half of my fittings at Ace.
