Hammer Rack.

I ordered a large hammer rack from Kens Custom Iron and because of the distance to span, I special ordered an additional end piece to place in the middle.

On Friday I picked up some 1/4”X1” steel flatbar for the rails along with some other steel pieces. Cutting it up and cleaning the cut ends took all of 10 minutes and I had a piece of scrap 3/4” ply for the backing – mostly to keep the tongs from dinging the metal siding. Finished with 3 coats of satin polyurethane to keep the metal rust free.

As of today, the tong rack is done! Hung some stuff up temporarily to show it off. Very happy with how it turned out and Ken’s Custom Iron has top notch products and customer service!

58” of hammer & tong goodness!
Without tools.
