Building the Rack

1st- I bought a 1x8x8 pine board.I  I then cut it to 4 foot long.

2nd- I then ripped  2 boards 3 1/2 inches wide by 4 foot long on the table saw.

3rd- I put the 2 boards together and marked out 3 inches on center of the board  for the 1st and 6th dowel  on each end .Then 7 inches on center  for the remaining 4 dowels.

4th- I then used a 1/2 inch drill and drilled all 6 holes.

5th- Next i cut 6   1/2 inch dowels 18 inch long and glued the ends and fitted them in the holes.
