workshop7 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I'm reposting this with a different title because of the amount of questions I've received about this homemade rack. The 2.5” spacing is perfect for a board with TD3s mounted directly to the board with 6* cants. TD2s require an extra 1" (3.5" spacer) because of the spring in the rear bail, it won't fold down. 1.5” will work for a 2nd board kit mounted to it. 3.5” are for the FPs that still have Burton plates on them. 1.25” are there because that’s how the math worked out for a 41.5” length (my limit on space, wife acceptance factor, WAF), but is also great for a board with nothing mounted to it. The 1" spaces will fit 2 boards. The overall width is 13” The drawing is not the same as the actual bracket in the pic. It is what I have planned for a replacement bracket.

Corey Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Looks awesome! You posted pics before, right? I was planning a close copy of that. I'll keep the slots wide enough to put boards base to base, with the nose down on one and tail down on its neighbor. I'll just stagger long/short.

Ive recently thought of just having the entire bracket consist of 1.5” spacers with 1” open spaces in between them. That way, you can configure your boards as you see fit and easily change it down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Now I'm picturing a comb. Just put the boards wherever. Those of you that have met me might find it hard to believe that I remember what a comb looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workshop7 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 A couple of pictures with the new bracket in place. All of these boards easily accessible in a 42” wide space with room still left for my forthcoming Coiler (with bindings) and one extra board (without bindings).

TVR Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Since you are in NH, how much do you charge to build it? heh.. love the little 130 or so board with the hard boot bindings man... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 That looks real nice. I've been planning to put together something similar for a while. I guess now that the season is over I had might as well. Yours looks clean and simple. I had been envisioning something that would be adjustable to handle more softboot completes and maybe even some skis. I was thinking about using dowel rods as dividers and allowing those rods to be moved into different positions to account for different sized gear.

The first version of this rack that I built used dowels. I didn’t like the functionality or the look. It lasted less than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm definitely going to build this or something similar this spring. My boards are currently residing underneath our bed. Just debating right now if i need that many slots. On the one hand, it would look silly because I'd only have like 3 boards to place in it right now. On the other hand, it's a good excuse for 'needing' a larger quiver.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
