Custom Disc Rack

[Mr. Orange]

That rack is cooler than any I have seen yet.

I like the forward-thinking design where the footing of the box above is also the guard rail for the box below it.

Maybe this could be another IKEA-style DIY kit that could be sold...eh?

You should check out a Gentleman's Club, sir. A world of wonder awaits.

 

[Mr. Orange]

Actually the racks in the raffle at the Gentlemens Club Challenge are what inspired my design.

When I first moved to Austin, Shoal Creek was the first creek I kayaked. After each flood I would walk the creek and map out changes and individual rapids. I would come home with 20 to 30 discs each time and call the ones with names and numbers. Eventually I found one belonging to someone I knew and they showed me how to play. I still kayak and over the course of 17 years I have gathered quite a few. I have returned over 1000 discs. Last year I returned 71 discs. I also buy/win discs and so does my wife.

While not as nice as the OP, this one did not cost a dime. There was scrap wood, glue, nails, spray paint and 1 hour in the garage. Made it about a month ago.

Rows are spaced 10" vertically on center.

Holds 50 drivers per row, ~350 total.

Shouldn't Home Depot have what you need to make something like that?

 

[KingWillie]

Yes. You can use heavy dowels instead of the square pieces I had laying around for the shelves. I think mine came from fence boards that were ripped to that size from a project years ago.

It is an easy project.

this guy needs a round of applause. Give him 5 claps if you appreciate his clear dedication to returning discs in an impressive fashion. You sir, are my new favorite poster.

Here is a rack made from scrap wood and dowels from HD.

That's my trusty old Fender sitting next to it.

I have a ton of respect with the DIY aspect of these homemade ones, I had to put in very little thought or effort with mine.

The spray paint looks pretty good, getting the hole pattern or rail spacing right is the tricky part.

I actually started a spread sheet last year to keep track of where I find discs and who they belong to. It is hillarious when I find the exact same disc for the same person in the same place 3 or 4 times. You know who you are...

 

[jdw80550]

Judson, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I just had my first disc returned to me ever this year, and I was really greatful. To think that you do this all the time is admirable.

 

[Old Bassman]

Judson, I applaud you as well. How great to have returned that many discs and as well to have a database to know how many times to the same person.

Thanx,
OB

After 17 years I got my first disc back 2 weeks ago. I had to buy it back from the Play Again used bin. It won't stop me from calling y'all though.

That's harsh... Must be burning up the karma someplace else!

 

[ArcheType]

GDBP, why in the world do you have so many discs, and no for sale thread?

 

[notapro]

Hoarding!

^^Noill Golf still has more.... I wonder if he has a rack?....

 

[judson]

I prefer local shops over internet purchasing. I think local shops do more for beginers of the sport and I would like to see disc golf surpass baseball as America's pastime. Not that I have anything against baseball. I just love discgolf.
