Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
STEP 1
Cut foundation: 2 foot long wood strip. Begin your rack by first deciding how long you'd like it to be. We determined the right size for our wall to be about 2' long. Cut a foundation to the desired end length for your rack using a Dremel Saw-Max. This foundation will be what you affix your design and hooks onto. You can use most any wood strip as your foundation. We decided to use our 1x3 inch furring strip material. Measure and mark the cut on your material. Clamp your material to your workbench. Using your Saw-Max tool fit with a SM500 Wood and Plastic blade, cut along your marked line. Notice how easy the line is to follow through the notch at the front of your tool!
STEP 1
Cut filler material to desired lengths, adding slight variation. Once you have your foundation, it is time to start cutting pieces that will mount onto your base, giving your hook rack a unique, modern design. In step 3 we will describe how to cut your wood pieces that will become hooks. For now, concentrate on cutting the pieces that will make up the majority of your rack. We decided to make our rack around 10 inches in height. We cut our pieces at all different lengths to add to the interesting, staggered design. The number of pieces you'll need to mount to your foundation depend on the length you chose. We cut around 30 pieces of our 1x3 material. Using the same cutting technique as in step 1, make straight cuts with your Saw-Max tool at varying lengths. We cut all of our pieces around 8" to 10" long.
