I didn't construct the rack, but I can explain how it was done and give you links to some more detailed pics.<br /><br />The base (or backing) is a large, single piece of luan (lauan) plywood. The key here is keeping it as light weight as possible.<br /><br />This <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/MarchBabyJ/MorningStar?authkey=Gv1sRgCOjFlov41NC2ZA&feat=email#5300436848957951730" rel="nofollow">side profile</a> shows nice detail on the bottom of each row, wherein a groove was cut (using a router or table saw I would imagine). The same pic also provides nice detail on all of the wedges that make up the individual brochure slots. All of the wedges are the same dimensions, just spaced differently for different sized brochures. I think that all of this wood was finish pine or something similar. Both the bottom rail and wedges were wood glued to the luan – I don’t believe there were any finish nails/screws from the back. <br /><br />We attached the rack to the wall using drywall screws into as many points along a stud as we could find. We used plastic drywall anchors on places where we couldn't find a stud. <br /><br />Finally, a sheet of pre-cut, clear poly was inserted into the groove on the bottom of each row and then screwed into the wedges at various points, as you can see <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/MarchBabyJ/MorningStar?authkey=Gv1sRgCOjFlov41NC2ZA&feat=email#5300436933666423698" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The screw holes in the poly were pre-drilled. <br /> <br />Let me know if you need more detail on any of the above!troy.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02447073839839821113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488085248613119437.post-54777341690131571372009-09-23T09:44:32.047-04:002009-09-23T09:44:32.047-04:00Elizabeth: Thanks to Jenn Ski's question, I w...Elizabeth: Thanks to Jenn Ski's question, I was looking through some old emails from the planning stages of the project and found the colors! <br /><br />Walls: Behr, eggshell finish, Smokey Slate 460E-3<br /><br />Trim: America's Finest, semi-gloss, Shell White 45YY-83/094 (It's a Glidden tint in America's finest Base1 AF1411)troy.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02447073839839821113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488085248613119437.post-75113882874000612592009-09-23T09:28:38.733-04:002009-09-23T09:28:38.733-04:00How did u make the brochure rack?How did u make the brochure rack?Jenn Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348777122602112359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488085248613119437.post-57453648334140519912009-06-16T08:26:25.972-04:002009-06-16T08:26:25.972-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Elizabeth.
