Happy wife = more tools. Same here. If I put my tools and shop to work and she gets things out of it, no complaints.

I laughed out loud, my wife was listening. Se gave me look!! Priceless

Bring on the dry jokes!

Thanks for doing this Bub! It is exactly what I wanted and couldn't find anywhere else. For people commenting on the dowels not being finished, we will probably end up putting something on them, but I wanted to test how things worked before committing to anything on them.

You're making me look bad. My go-to is "I've said I'll do it, there's no need to remind me every 6 months or so!" You lining the pieces up with your knife was satisfying. Small detail, but I liked it!

drying racks are a must!

Can't stop chuckling about 3 minutes 15seconds mark: 'my wife found that 3inches was what she liked to work with' 🤭. Not to take away from the great video.

At about 2:40, getting the little block also means you have something to wedge any gap with too.

“My wife said 3” is what she likes to work with”….. man that’s just too easy

You should have done this as a "Hangout". 😂

That's funny. A friend of mine just asked me to build a drying rack. However, she wants one that folds down when not in use. Looks great James!

Just the thing for some Dry Humor.

Nicely done. Good design. 👍 Wife happy.👍👍

Rack up another one!

This was a great little project. No need to reply. Just wanted you to know that I enjoyed. I can't wait to see all the other projects that you will be building for your new house.

Team happy wife here lmao just do stuff for eqch other and you living GOOD!

Straight forward and effective. Thx!

Probably just cause I've been following people like you, Paul, Matt, Mr Chickadee and Clay Hayes...almost nothing to me was new in this video...and then you used magnets to find the screws to locate studs. I like that. I have an expensive stud finder and its still meh accurate.

magnets are amazing stud finders,

Thanks James

"Happy wife = more tools". Yes indeed.

I can remember before we got an electric dryer, during the winter mom would use one of those folding racks and some clothes lines ran upstairs. I am thankful for dryers. 😂 Nice project!

Good timing. I suspect my wife will want one for the new house.

Nicely designed and built. Just a suggestion, maybe consider convering the dowels with clear packing tape to avoid moisture issues with damp clothes. I like it, hopefully she does too.

Moisture would get in below the tape and get stuck, it is probably better to just keep them as ventilated as possible.

@@pettere8429 I suppose that's possible, I just don't remember it being an issue on the racks we had.

Nice. I did a drying rack last year (finally completing the project I'd promised five years earlier!). Mine is on a pulley system and it works very well. The utility room it is in is long and thin, so the pulley works better for me, and stores on the ceiling. Quite common in older houses in the UK, and saves running a dryer for long spells when not necessary (assuming you have good ventilation of course). In hindsight, I could have actually built it longer, but it's difficult to guage just how much space a single wash takes up. Mine is made from zebrano, and I used wedged mortices for the rails, loose wedges for the frame corners and Japanese scarf joints for the lengths that weren't the required two metres. I basically did it as a way to practice joinery, and it surprisingly came out nicely. Drying racks are such good projects as there are so many options for mating joints and lots of opportunity for experiment as it's usually something that's out of the way in a room that nobody goes in! Great work sir.

Quite functional, and bonus to the 'more tools' project completion. Haha

Very nice 👍

"happy wife, you can buy more tools"-totally saving that and pulling it back out in the future!

Excellent!

nice work

Enjoy it

Thanks for sharing that!

Happy wife, happy comment 😉

That's just brilliant, James! Beautiful work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I see this as a project that I may get asked to do soon if I show this my other... Lol.

happy wife happy life. Be well!

Thanks for sharing.

Ha-ha, happy wife, happy life. Cool idea, though. Love the way it tilts out of the way if needed.

Cut and dried video

Great project! Thanks! But my wife saw, and... Another one on the list!

The dad jokes were good I enjoyed them - quick questions, do you have videos in making replacement knobs and handles for a plane ? I know there’s a few out there already but might be a good video for you to do ?

Happy spouse, happy house. Now go buy a Barnes combination machine.

Great job on the drying rack, and speedy too! What method did you settle on to hold it up on the wall when it is out of use?

@WoodByWrightHowTo

I haven't gone to that yet as it is something she hasn't asked for yet. But I'm planning on using a toggle mounted to the wall.

Surprised you didn’t use BLO to get that “fresh from the wood shop” smell (and stains) on all your clothes 😂

Nice project! If you don't use finish on oak, the tannins in wood might leave colored marks on clothes btw.

@WoodByWrightHowTo

That's the conventional wisdom. But in practice reality is different. But to even be on the safe side the towels that touch the clothes are made of poplar.

Yeah, my experience with tannins is from boat stuff and coloring has happened only during long times of exposure. I made the mistake to comment before i saw wich way they were installed 😁

Won't it get rough Leaving it raw? Might start snagging on the clothes

Have a feeling you don't want to put a cabinet around a moist area. Set-up for molds and mildew.

@WoodByWrightHowTo

No the cabinet would allow storage and then the doors open up for drying. We had one before and it works quite well.

Need some finish at least on the rods so grain won’t raise.

Why not countersink the pivot bolts? That way your wife doesn’t accidentally get to scratch her elbow.
