you could even paint a quote or get a big print of your favorite photo and use it in the background behind the dowels. Sweet build and definitely need this in our home
I made one last year - from a photo in a catalogue. Naturally, I used all mortise and tenon joints, all hand cut. I also used beadboard for the back, as well as a small cove profile on all the frame components. Used a captive screw instead of hinges. Used 3/4" wide white straps instead of chains. Regardless, the wife loves it.
I love the stuff you make .. I am a total begin er so I appreciate the download that is available to supplement t this video. You go kind of fast for me but like I ssid I am a beginner ..thanks for this ..I am sure what I can make will be more custom and better quality than the 100+dollar one on amazon
Hi Brad, thanks for stopping by at woodshedinthestowe blog site. I've seen a few of your videos in th epast, so I'm thrilled to have a real-life youtube star following me. Some good projects on your site - I'm looking forward to trying a fe myself.
I was just about to start a similar rack for in the bedroom for those clothes that I've worn but wouldn't call them dirty yet. What I had planned was going to hinge at the top and have board that folds down to hold it out at the angle, I was also going for a bit more of Shaker design.
Nicely dressed out of the 20th mid-century traditional look, Cape Cod milk paint sun baked washout would look great. . Lots of flat surface area opportunity in to trick-out to all kinds of final look. Fancy hinges and chain/rope.
OK, dead awsome! Easily done with the tools I have on hand. One negative - I now have some serious workshop envy. ;) On the plus side I scored some good rep with my wife.
Well done hon. I would leave enough chain so that the rack could lie out flat, so that sweaters could be dried in what fabric folks call a blocked position.
Congrats on hitting 100k, Brad! That's awesome! This is a really nice solution for your laundry room. We are currently still struggling with one of the foldable types. ha
Just recently discovered your channel. Pretty neat stuff and I may have to try this one. I am challenged when working with wood, but this would be a great addition to our narrow laundry room. Thank you for sharing with us!
It looks really good, and the build is totally doable with limited tools, just will take more time. But I guess people will complain under every diy video where anything other than an axe is used
Wooooooowwww you are Handy and your studio is awesome the tools wow !!!! I’m planing to make another drying clothe rack! But steel planning even if is super urgent... my dryer broke and the new one comes in one month 😱 so the one I need to make is the one that is in the wall like an acordeón can you help me ? Just need to resolve how I will mount it on the wall?
Dimensional lumber is often warped, bowed, etc.. would be interesting to elaborate on how you got the frame and rack square, and what to do if they aren't and they don't fit together nicely when assembled. happened to me! but i shaved off some of the sides until it was just right.
Hi Brad! I’ve been waiting to ask for an update on this project. Are you guys overall happy with the dimensions? And install height/ rack angle? I’ve been looking for a drying solution and this is perfect. Appreciate you sharing this one. Cheers man!
Since there is already a backer to the rack could this also be a "frame" drop down folding table? Great job loved it, it would be perfect for a tiny home as well.
Better would be a rack hung from ceiling. Can be made wider also. Lower the rack, hang the clothes, lift rack and narrow laundry room is never obstructed. Two simple pulleys on ceiling and a cleat by the window, simple.
Like how you thought to attach to the wall at the same height of the window.....A lot times people over look it and looks kinda odd when it higher or lower than the window line.
Great idea, fantastic video :D I was thinking while watching your video that you would go with a 90 degree angle on the racks, when opened... Thinking it was a good idea... :) After seeing your solution, I can't help but feel a little stupid...! :D Your solution with the 20-30 degrees is so much better...!
Mehmet Aslan depends on your space, but I wouldn't go more than about 45 degrees down, you need the pressure against the wall for when your kids grab on to it. More than 45 and that top screw is holding all the leverage.
Mehmet Aslan Its all good brother, just adding a bit for those who don't know about these things and might try the 90 degree you were speaking of and feel upset when their rack pulled loose from the wall (especially if they thought drywall anchors would hold the rack just fine).
Have you had any issues with "sagging" or bending of the wood dowels? I was thinking of using 1/2 rebar and sliding it into 1/2 PVC (to keep the white theme going). But this may be overkill if you haven't had any issues with the wooden dowels.
Makes me want to finish my laundry room so I could make one of these, right now it's in the basement right on the edge of my shop and we would never hang clothes in there.
I live in an attic with knee walls so I don't have the vertical wall space for this... Do you think I could hang it on the slanted wall and adjust the chain accordingly? (Might skip the top trim so it has a lower profile)
If you secured each collapsible rack arm to the rack bar with a twist-tie, it couldn't collapse. Save ya a few sawbucks in lumber, nails, magnets, power tools and holes in your walls.
1. We already own half the equipment. Some people actually owns these stuff 2. That's like $4,000+ worth of equipment. (Yeah I know expensive af 😅 but definitely worth it) 3. DIY personalized stuff is better than store bought basic stuff.
You can build just about any woodworking project with nothing more than hand tools and some patience. If you have a drill and a circular saw, you can build tons of things like this rack. The nicer tools simply make it easier and faster.
you could even paint a quote or get a big print of your favorite photo and use it in the background behind the dowels. Sweet build and definitely need this in our home
Great idea, and an excellent solution to my small laundry room and small child who loves to grab EVERYTHING he can. Thanks!
oh yeah, this is great to keep it out of reach for smaller kids!
My wife requested one of these... and now you've made it easier on me.
good luck!

I liked that cute little hammer you use to drive the dowels. Great project, friend. If my laundry room big enough, I would build me one.
It's my late grandad's old finish hammer. Love that little thing!
Saved to my project list. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions.
Looks great. Much better than a crappy metal clothes drying rack. Really nice finish
Looks awesome and not too hard to make. The best is you can make it any color.
Yeah, custom for you!
Nice! I have to say that since I built almost the same for my laundry room couple of years back.
It's a great project for the laundry

that would work too, cool
That’s a cool idea that I may steal from you. We are always hanging barely worn clothing all over our bedroom and I hate the mess.
Great small project Brad. Loved your simple yet detailed finish. Thanks for sharing!
thanks, Felix!

Wow, another great video. I love your simple builds that are so well executed yet very approachable.
Thank you, Mark!
Slick design! Hardware stores in Amish areas always sell drying racks, none as nice as yours.
That's cool that they sell those there :)
The laundry room is looking great, Brad. Great vid. Thx!
thanks, man! It's really turning out nice.
Nice project and video Brad. Loved the extra attention to detail with the trim.
Looks fantastic Brad! 👍👊 Great addition to that gorgeous laundry room! 😍
It's starting to really look nice now!
Congrats on hitting 100k, Brad! That's awesome! This is a really nice solution for your laundry room. We are currently still struggling with one of the foldable types. ha
Thanks, Bruce! Pretty excited to hit 100k!
great video, this drying rack looks like it comes out of the factory for retail so nice!!!
thanks! really wanted something custom!
Good one brad. Just want I needed in our laundry room.
It's a nice easy project!
Awesome idea! I have metal hooks from the previous owner and they are worthless. I may look at doing this!
Yeah, it's a nice upgrade!
I would have gone with brass hinges and chain. White paint and brass look so good together, IMO. Now my GF wants me to build this for her.
Good job a few brownie points got for this project keep up the good work Brad
Oh yeah, it was a much needed addition and we love it!
Fantastic mate, the laundry room is looking really nice.
Thanks, Riaan! It's so much better than it used to be.
Just recently discovered your channel. Pretty neat stuff and I may have to try this one. I am challenged when working with wood, but this would be a great addition to our narrow laundry room. Thank you for sharing with us!
I'm totally going to make myself one now -- so useful! We can put this on in the "Brad's Bread & Butter" category (shout out to MMP)....
Hahaha, just listened to the episode
awesome solution to that old clunker brother !
Gotta get my upgrade on
Nice job as always 👍👍👍🏅🏅🏅 I like to do one like that but I don't have the tools lol but it came out nice thanks for the video
Don't need much for this one. Can get by with a miter saw and cordless drill!
I want to BUY one.😀. Great video!
beautiful job
OMG Brad, I literally laughed at the beginning with that jenkie original rack. Nice build.
Thanks! Glad someone liked it 😃
It looks really good, and the build is totally doable with limited tools, just will take more time. But I guess people will complain under every diy video where anything other than an axe is used
You are so creative and talented.
Wooooooowwww you are Handy and your studio is awesome the tools wow !!!!

Very nice! I like that its a simple build
gotta put some easy ones in here too
Dimensional lumber is often warped, bowed, etc.. would be interesting to elaborate on how you got the frame and rack square, and what to do if they aren't and they don't fit together nicely when assembled. happened to me! but i shaved off some of the sides until it was just right.
Love it! How would you adapt it so that it would hang upside down?
Good stuff! Great build!!
thanks!
Nice work,
regards from Honduras
thanks!
Nice work. Great idea!
Nice project and congrats on 100k
Thanks, man! Appreciate all yalls support!
Really clever build
Great idea! Thank you!
love your instructions. could u please make some diy videos that r super simple. thank u.
Always something to learn here 😬👍
Thanks!
This is awesome well done !
That looks awesome Brad. Got a new subscriber in me. Look forward to building one in our new home.
Hi Brad! I’ve been waiting to ask for an update on this project. Are you guys overall happy with the dimensions? And install height/ rack angle? I’ve been looking for a drying solution and this is perfect. Appreciate you sharing this one. Cheers man!
We love it! It's actually been very good and we wouldn't change anything
Wow seems so easy. It would only take me a few months, assuming I never give up :P
you can do it!
Great project and enjoyed the video as always!
Thank you!
Since there is already a backer to the rack could this also be a "frame" drop down folding table? Great job loved it, it would be perfect for a tiny home as well.
who are the disliker for such amazing video????
people who like wet clothes I guess :)
Or people,who understand haw work neyron-networks and reccommendations on youtube.
fantastic
Yo!! New vídeo! Thanks Brad.
Thanks, hope you like it!

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even look at that 😂😂😂
Happy accidents are the best accidents......If anyone comes over tell them you did it on purpose now.
This really helps a gal like me who lives in a Los Angeles apartment and owns 1 screwdriver
Love the project, looks great. But why have a dry rack when you have a dryer?
For delicates that can't be dried
That is exactly what I was looking for, great job. I just can't find the step-by-step link...?
Great idea, fantastic video :D I was thinking while watching your video that you would go with a 90 degree angle on the racks, when opened... Thinking it was a good idea... :) After seeing your solution, I can't help but feel a little stupid...! :D Your solution with the 20-30 degrees is so much better...!
Mehmet Aslan depends on your space, but I wouldn't go more than about 45 degrees down, you need the pressure against the wall for when your kids grab on to it. More than 45 and that top screw is holding all the leverage.
Thomas Russell That is exactly what I was trying to say :) That I hadn't thought it through, as clearly as it was done here...
Mehmet Aslan
Its all good brother, just adding a bit for those who don't know about these things and might try the 90 degree you were speaking of and feel upset when their rack pulled loose from the wall (especially if they thought drywall anchors would hold the rack just fine).
Love the interaction and back and forth!
Thomas Russell No hard feelings whatsoever from my side :) Thank you for elaborating your standpoint though...
Great build Brad, hope my wife doesn't see this or i'm in trouble ha ha ha.
Also CONGRATULATIONS on 100+k subscribers.
Barry (ENG)
Thanks so much, Barry! I appreciate all yalls support!
Have you had any issues with "sagging" or bending of the wood dowels? I was thinking of using 1/2 rebar and sliding it into 1/2 PVC (to keep the white theme going). But this may be overkill if you haven't had any issues with the wooden dowels.
Not at all. It's holding up really well
Nice practical project. 👍
thank you!
Could have many more applications besides just drying rack too.
Gr8 job buddy ....👍👍
Great video. Earned yourself a sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Great idea!
awesome! can u make a simpler version now?
Makes me want to finish my laundry room so I could make one of these, right now it's in the basement right on the edge of my shop and we would never hang clothes in there.
Get at it!
Get that Maytag money!
I could barely fit it all in the dryer 😂😂
who the hell gives a thumbs down to a diy video?
People who hate DIY :)
I live in an attic with knee walls so I don't have the vertical wall space for this... Do you think I could hang it on the slanted wall and adjust the chain accordingly? (Might skip the top trim so it has a lower profile)
If you secured each collapsible rack arm to the rack bar with a twist-tie, it couldn't collapse. Save ya a few sawbucks in lumber, nails, magnets, power tools and holes in your walls.
I was looking for reasons to pitch it, not help it limp along longer :)
Really missed an opportunity to say, "I used a me point bit." Come on Brad, its those kinds of Dad jokes that can make kids groan for decades to come!
I think it in my head every time :)
nice. i need one of those lol
Congratulations
Thanks!
like 500 here, nice job Brad
thanks!!
Nice
Pocket holes need "pocket screws"? can I use other types of screws?
Where did you get that laundry hamper cart in the back ground?
Hey man, what’s the brand of the countersink drill bit at 3:33, I’ve seen Johnny Brooke use it as well and having trouble finding it.
Your mitre saw link doesn't work in the UK, can you tell me the brand?
It's the RIDGID 12" miter
what kind of wood you use ?
I would like to order one from you
What is that pocket hole jig? The Blue thing at 3:06 mark.
pocket hole jig amzn.to/2uLNYTE
Fix This Build That thanks!!
💗
Do you get any royalties for the Brad point bits and Brad nails?? If not, may be worth getting a lawyer involved... that it all... 👊
copyright infringement!
You think you have a case? Imagine me!
Would you sell those?
Is it ok to hang wet clothes on the painted dowels?
These are damp, not "wet". But yeah
Please more concrete Projekts
think this is hard to realise with basic tools
Can you tell me the machine's name in your wood-working?
every tool spotless lol, we used to laugh at guys who showed up on site with shiny new tools.
How to make a $40 drying rack
Step 1: Buy $400 worth of tools
But seriously, this is pretty cool
jayholden isn't that the first step of any DIY project 😂😂😂
Why would I want to make anything if I don't also get to buy a new tool that costs more than what the product would cost at a store?
+ half milion house with garage ;)
1. We already own half the equipment. Some people actually owns these stuff
2. That's like $4,000+ worth of equipment. (Yeah I know expensive af 😅 but definitely worth it)
3. DIY personalized stuff is better than store bought basic stuff.
It's like having your own chickens for free eggs. Most expensive free eggs ever. But totally worth it.
It's cool, but it will be unconfortable to hang clothes, at a negative angle. Especially with big things.
Diwhy would you do that
I thought it was pretty obvious after the first 20 seconds :)
"anybody can do.." yes with a garage full of profesional and expensive tools..
bodymotionchile thank you 🤣
Yeah, that is what his mean. So go buy rack on the shop don't ever build that.
You really dont need expensive tools for this project
You are not so resourceful i assume.
You can build just about any woodworking project with nothing more than hand tools and some patience. If you have a drill and a circular saw, you can build tons of things like this rack. The nicer tools simply make it easier and faster.
