DIY Air Tool Rack
Made this at work today out of some scrap metal ( I didn't have angle iron so I welded two 2" wide scraps together)....

My tool box was starting to collapse under the weight of all the air tools and this just looks cool I think.
Pretty easy to make if anybody has a mill and wants a project.

I'm sure I know a few people who would want one. I will have to keep an eye out for some more scraps. Originally Posted by Fastbird

Wow very cool!
I have some "scrap" aluminum angle in the shop, I'll make one for my tools when I'm done with the TH400 swap on the Camaro.
Thanks for the inspiration!

How'd you make the grooves for hanging them? I"ll go buy a piece of angle stock and DIY. Just not sure I"ve got the stuff to make the recesses for the tools.

I used an endmill, but could also be done by drilling a hole the size of the slots you need and then use a cutoff wheel to cut from both sides of the hole to the edge. Originally Posted by Fastbird
