Racking my wood

[Jokidding]

Hi,
I have been lurking in the forum for over 6 months and have been building furniture for many years.
But I am new to trying to build my first instrument my Dad is a cabinet maker and is helping to resaw my wood so that I can build up stock first to let it dry.
Can anyone help in what is the best way to rack my wood.

Jo, check this thread out.

First thing you should work out is how much space the wood will take up....and then multiply that by ten.

Sage advice from someone who knows!:)

Don't listen to Martin, he says multiply by 10, coz he's got the biggest stash under the sun, had to buy the block next door to accommodate his fettish!!

Martin is right, you'll need more space than you thought you would. I spent all day racking wood. And I have more to do tomorrow. I won't get another rack built tomorrow it the rain shows up they are forecasting, but we'll see.

[rocket]

Hell Lillian that's a stack, but don't burn any by mistake.

Nice bracewood stash you have there, Lillian.

[Lillian]

Why thank you gentlemen. A girl doesn't always hear such compliments.

I figured this was about the only way I could compete with Martin and Kim. That stack is all seasoned alder. It's great for cooking and for heating. I was told it would be really nice if I'd smoke dinner with some chips next weekend.

I'll have to look at the properties, but I'm thinking I might find some bridge plates in there somewhere.

The guy just showed up with the rest of the 4 cords.

Martin you make my day.


Jokidding, I hope we haven't scared you off. I'm sorry I sent your thread a bit sideways. It's nothing personal, it just happens around here.

Don't forget, as wood storage space gets bigger work space gets smaller. If I remember back correctly Martins bench space was like my small kitchen.

Hi Lil!

How many jigs did you have to make to build your rack?

[Lillian]

None and I should have made two for the bolt holes since I made two of them.
Live and learn.
