Prototype Coat Rack for Workshop

[nelsonic]

I'm currently hanging my painting overalls and carpentry apron on the wood rack; it's lame.
Need to design and make a simple coat rack to store these and other hanging items.

Todo

• Measure the space available --> 280mm
• Create simple design we can cut on the Laser
• Test it virtually
• Modify the design as necessary
• Laser cut the design
  • Stress Test it! (see below)
• Design and make a better coat hook: Coat Rack Hooks: Design and Laser Cut  workshop#57
• Assemble (glue) it
• Mount it to the wall

Note: this isn't a high-priority feature. I can easily continue to hang my overalls on the rack.
However this is a meant to be an experiment so that we can test the design for the actual coat rack upstairs that is a priority.

Made this one quickly in LightBurn:

Going to set this cutting tomorrow during lunch break. ⚡ ⏳

Laser cutting in progress:

Finished cutting it last night but didn’t upload pics cause it was late …

cut out:

dry assembly:

Stress test:

managed to break one of the hooks by applying significant pressure. (Sadly I don’t have a scientific testing rig, so cannot say how much pressure… but I’m trying to simulate someone having off it …)

Going to revise the design of the hooks to have a bit more material at the “weak” point.

Glueing the V4 and V3 hooks in the Workshop coat rack:

Mounted to the wall:

only used one screw to test. Works well.

Hung up my overall:

stoked this is going to be tidy. 🎉

Mini (structural) shelf on the top of the rack works well for storing my safety glasses:

Time to request feedback!

@iteles any thoughts? Areas to be improved? 💭

@iteles keen to get your feedback/thoughts before moving on to the "main" Cloakroom Coat Rack ... 🙏
