I got tired of fishing through shelves and drawers for my pipes and as a result smoking the same ones over and over, so I decided it was time to make a rack. Here's the concept, inspired by some pix of wall-hanging racks that our friend @Tobias Lutz posted way back when on that other forum whose name I forget...



Like I say, this is just a concept, made of pine scraps. I'll get some good wood and make a real one soon. Looks like 3/4" holes will accommodate most of my pipes. 1.5" space between holes in a row, and 2" between rows seems to fit most of them in without fighting. 4.5" legs keeps all my pipes from touching the tabletop (I don't have any church wardens).

Here it is loaded with pipes (can you tell I dig cobs?):



For the real version, I'll use something other than 2x4s for legs, but the 1x6 top looks and works pretty well IMHO.
