Thanks for the replyes!
I've been thinking and I'll improve my rack. First, I'll change the boards from pine to MDF, then... maybe aliminium tubes covering the bars |

Why don't you cut the screws on the left?
I have made the same with MDF and 22mm screws.With rounded corners on the wood and I use those "blinded nuts" to sit the rack on the floor.
A cool idea is not to drill the hall from one side to the other at the upper board.So you don't have nuts at the upper side!
:)
If you change the boards use only one from side to side.It'll be more cool. |

Because I'm going to split the rack just to put the tv between both sides. And I'll need the entire screws ;) ;)

Yep, the 'shoes' of the rack are very ulgy, I know. They are not definitive. I'm going to turn the screws into spikes ;)
As this is my first rack, it becomes a prototype. I'll been improving it and put here the news :cool: |

I liked this part of the translation,it seemed fitting-
"the revenge of the nuts started" |

As you can note, the translation is automatic and I only can tell this:
Some parts are really, really hillarious :D :smash:
I can get outbursts of laughter without control. Some words and phrases that are translated are meaningless, only have a good sense of humor ;) ;)
Like this:
...To the end of more than hour and stocking...
I'll explain:
It was intended to be: ... more than one hour and half ...
In portuguese: ... mais de uma hora e meia ...
But, in portuguese, meia means both half and stocking (for use between feet and shoes) ;) ;) |

looks like someone is watching too much home improvement channels :)
great job, won't the spikes damage your floor? and one more thing, pine is much better to look at than MDF. |

No, the spikes will be upon little discs with a hole in the center.
About the pine and MDF, yes, pine has a better look, but MDF with pine venner makes the same look and will be more rigid. Don't forget that I'll put the TV on it, and she's fat! 42Kg ;) Pine will break ...
Anyway, thanks for the reply |

This is awfully similar to a rack i've built recently, which holds my guitar amp, hi-fi rig and TV. Mine used regular chromed iron poles (used to make hangers in closets) drilled to suport steel rods that hold the wood floors.
I'll try to take a picture today, if my digicam is in the mood for working :( In any case, great job my friend! |
