Default Tour pack rack I made

This is a tour pack rack that I made. It is made out of 3/4" wood stock screwed together, and 5/8" dowels for mounting. The hardest part was getting the proper dowel placement for mounting but even that was not too bad. It took me about 1 hour and $13.00 for all wood stock. The only thing that I would do different would be use aluminum dowels or one made of a stronger wood (oak).

It will get a coat of black paint and will be complete. Let me know what ya think.

That should work. I made one out of metal. It's nice to know it's stored safe and out of the way.
