Nice Rack
Another project where I could have just paid the $100-$120 bucks and purchased a solution. But why spend that money when you can use found materials, a little elbow grease, and about 8 hours of your own time, with the end result being something that is not only sturdier, but also has a higher level of satisfaction associated with it.
Thanks to Brian for talking me into using bolts to attach the support arms - the screws I planned to use never would have worked!

The starting point: a section of futon frame.
Broken down into piles of oak.
At this point, the project almost took off in a totally different direction.

How stable is that? If the answer is "very" then I might have to build my own once I buy a road bike which should happen shortly.
The answer: very stable. I don't know that I could hang a human from it or anything, but it's more than enough for a few bikes.
jojo's right, the ladies love this sort of thing. instant crush! i thought i was here for the bikes, it turns out i'm here for the DIY guillotine...
