DIY Rustic Coat Rack (Railroad Spikes)

[@RickRaisin16]

Another instant classic. Could watch you work with wood all day!

[@kramerdesignco]

Thank you El Pres!

[@vladimirflocea5917]

Nice job done!

[@kramerdesignco]

Thank you!

[@tfrogginhfroggin]

Nice job. I also like that you left in the part switching to taping when epoxying and having to trim the rail spikes.

[@kramerdesignco]

Thank you. I gotta show the whole process and that includes the mistakes/corrections.

[@modest_wrenching]

Wonderful design. It has a very professional look with out being too out of reach technique wise. Thanks for the video!

[@kramerdesignco]

Thank you!

I’m glad you used ear protection when applying the stain. Better safe than sorry

[@kramerdesignco]

Ya, a lot of hacks out there don't realize how loud applying stain is. It's around 100 decibel

Beautiful work!

Nice job. A syringe would have made less of a mess with the epoxy. I just use construction adhesive in a tube.

[@kramerdesignco]

Great idea!

Very nice coat rack. I plan to build one for my daughter. What are the dimensions of the vertical board? Thx again

[@kramerdesignco]

I dont remember what the height came to, but the average height of a coat rack is around 60 inches. Adjust to suit your daughter's preferences.

What stain was used? I like the colour.

[@kramerdesignco]

I used a dark walnut stain from minwax.

[@Maxxis1941]

@@kramerdesignco Many thanks.

[@joshuaspencer4272]

where did you get the rail road spikes

[@kramerdesignco]

They are scattered along train tracks. I scooped em up.

[@swsafetysupply]

are those 2x4's used for the base?

[@kramerdesignco]

Yup, that's right

[@Alvin-l9n]

wouldn't a lag bolt be stronger then a dowel ?

[@kramerdesignco]

Either or. Both sufficient.

[@shinymud7]

Should’ve left it natural wood with varnish

[@kramerdesignco]

Yes, that would look good too. Client wanted a stain
