You can also wipe the printing off with a little acetone.

Anyone think of switching out the 4 - 3way and 2 4way's on the bottom for an extra "way" and purchase casters to make the rack roll? I see some use of tie backs to lock the rack into the wall. Is it stable enough to wheel around?

Also, does closing off the top level matter at all, structurally? Can you just have 5" pieces with caps for the top row?

Not a big deal but seems like it would save about $8-10 in material and add some versatility to the top shelf...bags, condors, Jaguars :-)

Casters would work fine on the 4x1 I built. I expect it would roll fine on a hard flat surface. However, the 8x2 I would not feel comfortable on wheels. Too unwieldy. When moving the height to width ratio would lend itself to very easily tipping over, and potentially 300lbs of plastic falling could be dangerous.

Likely does not matter. However, with my recommended sizes you should still be able to store Condors and Jaguars.

I can store a 50 mold midnight flyer easily in mine... That's a big mamajama...

To build this or use plastic containers, that is the question...

[1978]

I have a bunch of plastic containers and disc boxes. I see the benefits to having boxes... like I can store them anywhere... but it would be interesting to be able to catelogue all the discs by type and name for easy access without having to dig through 20 boxes of discs. I also figured I could sell the completed rack on here to people not interested in doing the work to build one if it ceased to serve its purpose.

Accessories should arrive today, then its just buying the pipe at THD!

Label the boxes maybe?

This.

Not to discount the PVC racks, those are cool too.
