Making a Tactical Gear Rack with just 2 Boards

[@johnnyjordan9384]

Ok, that safe dropping in was highly satisfying.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I'd tell you how many times I pulled it back out and dropped it but I lost count.

[@StraightWhiskey9]

Hell yeah! Looks fantastic! And I could do the safe drop for hours

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Hahaha I maybe guilty of the safe dropping for hours also.

[@GaryDrumm]

OK, that’s bad ass! Exactly the kind of idea I was looking for to store my tactical gear. Looks like I’ll be busy this weekend.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

That's awesome glad it inspired you be sure to show me what you come up with.

[@3nertia]

Those squeaky toy sound effects when you were nailing those boards together nearly *killed* me ROFLMEYERWIENER!

Haha I am glad someone caught those and enjoyed them. 😉

[@TheNav1988]

Love it man. Definitely found the photos and Amazon list to be helpful. About to make one for myself and will definitely be sharing this with the guys from my department!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

That's great to hear I would love to see pictures when you finish.

[@domogodz9343]

I just started working on mine today, so far so good.👍🏼

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

That's awesome please be sure to share a picture with me.

[@ashtinjackson5452]

Ok. So I got the wood, the pipes, the stain, all the things. If I round up will the safe still fit flush?

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

@@ashtinjackson5452 It should but my recommendation is wait til you can measure your safe and save those crucial measurements until you can have the safe just incase there are slight variations with the manufacturer of the safe.

[@ashtinjackson5452]

I don’t think the guy at the hardware store knew what he was talking about. I spent a million dollars. I got TC whiteboard BO, whatever that means. Is that right or did I get super expensive wood?

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

@ashtinjackson5452 hmm I am not familiar with what they sold you. If it is the same dimensions it should work though. I used what they call at Lowe’s premium pine. It wasn’t too expensive when I bought it but wood prices change a lot.

[@413DaveRN]

Got to love that pew pew storage!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Haha ugh I cringe when I hear myself say it now but people have told me to not use the G word on KZbin.

What screws did you use? Love this video!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

@@ashtinjackson5452 thanks so much, I used construction screws.

[@julienlozano2022]

What type of wood was used? And what size were the slabs of wood before u cut them? I want to build one but, want to make sure I have enough with just the two slabs.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

2 boards at 1"x10"x8' pine

[@luisgaltuvedech3830]

That safe fitting was oddly satisfying

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Definitely my favorite part 😉

very cool, great work man.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Thank you very much!

[@THEBAKER3369]

Great work, can you put a link to the pipes you used

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I wish I kept track of the pipes better but I don't have any info on them anymore my apologies.

[@jessiehodges6723]

Can you list the pipes you used? I want to make it, goin to Go Lowe’s just want to make sure I get all the right stuff! Thank you’

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I knew I was going to get asked this because I struggled finding all the right parts also. Sadly I did not write them down before giving this to the client. What I would suggest is pull out the parts in the store. You can even tear the bags open and piece it all together to make sure you got the right ones.

[@jonathanford7909]

What amount of wood did you start with? Sizes? And what was total cost round about??

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I think it was 2 1x10x8 I cant remember the cost and since the prices have probably changed a lot. I do a google photo album in the description with my basic measurements.

[@charleshicks7669]

do you have the specs on this piece? i love the craftmanship, very nice how much with the safe and the piping

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I don't remember much about it anymore at this point but if you click the link in the description I did post some images with general dimensions.

[@efrenmoreno7706]

Awesome 💯

[@waylon6233]

Where did you get the bar ??

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

[@jaredsmith7984]

Could you tell me the length of the back section and what is the length of the divider pieces!! Thanks in advance!!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

If you check the description I have shared a photo album with some measurements they are a little wonky but might get you started.

[@jaredsmith7984]

@@ChadsCustomCreations yeah I saw that but I’m a novice at this stuff and was having trouble deciphering it!! I will try it again!! Thank you

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Sorry if I still had it I would measure it all but after I finished it I sent it off to the client. If I find the time I will try to go back through it all and offer detail woodworking plans for it.

[@Halldog7]

Where do I find the two metal hangers you used for the gear? I cannot find them anywhere.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I got all the pieces for those at lowes wish I kept a better list of what all I needed. Basically just had to go play in the plumbing section until I found all the pieces I needed.

[@Halldog7]

@@ChadsCustomCreations Gotcha, I thought people were buying actual hangers and not components of pipes lol. I appreciate the info good sir!

[@charlesjohnson6944]

What size pipe did you use, adjusting mine to fit friends size but want to keep compact.

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

I think it was 3/4 inch pipe.

[@lisalusardi9874]

How long did it take to make it start to finish? (Minus stain dry time) and what length screws did you use?

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Probably about a full day since it was my first time making one and I had no plans to go by, also filming while making slows everything down. I believe I used 1-1/4" screws. Comments if you need anymore help.

[@zackday5699]

Where do you get the pipes from??

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Hey man, how would you secure it to the wall? I’m building something similar but don’t know how to mount it without screw heads showing and what not

[@pawpawslife8958]

What's the measurement for example 31.97

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

So those dimensions are so crazy cause I went from metric to impieral for my CNC to be able to replicate this. Basically if you just round to the nearest number you will be better off. So 31.97 would just be 32 inches
