squeegee racks

Here is what we have.

Thanks for all the suggestions.  Originally I was going to use dowel pegs like Andy's.  Then thought about cutting a patterns similar to Gilligan's.  Met my neighbor at the fence and after a chat, ended up with this.

Ripped some 1 3/4 strips and chopped them at 5 in. with a 5 degree angle.  Glued and tacked with brad gun on both sides of a 1x6.  I'll spray it white and mount to the wall.  Will hold 15 squeegees.

Woohoo!  I gave back to the community!

15 bucks from Ryonet

Yea, knew about those, but they are $15 for a pair that holds only 5 squeegees.  Looks like you have quite a few $15 buck pairs on the wall, lol. 

I was targeting to hold 12-15 and didn't want to toss a fifty at it. 

Yours does look nice and neat tho on the wall.

Bit cluttered when the pic was taken but you get the idea. Its 6' tall, base is 16"x16" and holds 42 squeegees from 1"-16".

That one is sweet Bink--I'd get a star for the top, and hang lights and ornaments on it for Christmas.   


Here's a pretty low profile setup--under ink shelves.  I think it cost four bucks for the dowels.  The wood glue (expired emulsion) was free. 

If I were to do it again, I would borrow someones drill press--it was really easy to build, and works great, but the handles are not all drilled straight.   Some jerk was in a hurry.

I like both of those!

Yes 15 bucks for the pair and holds five squeegees I think. I think we spent like $100 on what you see there.
