Blanket/Quilt ladder

Post by ExtraMile »

Photo 1, is what my niece sent me asking me if I could build her one and photo 2, is my answer. Blanket/Quilt rack. 7 foot tall, 27 inches wide. I still need to throw some stain on it, but it is close to being done!

Rungs are canted at 45 degrees.

Send me a photo and I will try to build it, within reason :cool:

Strictly 3 inch deck screws, but I did countersink them, for fear of them, snagging the quilts.

I intend to, but I have not yet.

Today, was dedicated to canning some of my tomatoes.

My mater cages are holding up quite well, don't ya think?

I added, tarragon, oregano and basil to each jar, topped off with lemon juice!
