Hanging Pot Rack. Make Your Kitchen A Foodie's Haven! 

I will always watch you Steve! That Rack is awesome and Shine juice is awesome!!!! I have been using it too!

When sanding the burn marks on the small edge, try to clamp all pieces together. Sanding this way it's easier to keep a right angle with the orbit sander!

love all your stuff steve like the way you talk thru and the fact your a down to earth guy.. one other thing i thought id "microjig sorry just came out

I knew there was another reason why I loved watching your vids. Your also a RAIDEEEEERR fan. That is awesome and continue with your great videos.

I like the industrial look mixed with that gorgeous wood. Great combination! And using the fully threaded rods probably helps keep the S hangers from sliding constantly. Another great project!

Cool project! That finish looks neat.

Again Wonderful project Steve, thanks.

Nice project Steve well build.

Another great project as usual Steve.You could just use a piece of the stock against the stop block on your cross-cut sled to set the width of the lap joints.

Nice! The ingredients to that finish sound more like a finish for turned objects - like pens. The alcohol and wax would give a nice polished finish when applied with a lot of friction as in while turning on a lathe. But there's nothing wrong with using it on this project though.

Steve you always make the coolest projects. I love watching your videos for inspirations. Thank you for being so great

Beautiful work !!!!

Nice wind chime.

Awesome stuff Steve! Thank you. Can you build a lid holder/oven sheet holder to help me finish off my pots and pans storage? Keep up the good work.

As usual a great project and well presented. Cheers Steve,

Nice job Steve isaac made a coffee mug holder. this week next week he is looking to make a boot rack. have you ever made one?

Nice project Steve, what are your final thoughts on the finish? Looks easy to apply and from our standpoint, the rack has a great color and sheen. I am starting to like the finishes that have a bit of wax in them.

Cool stuff. Love the idea of filling the gap mistake. You rock! What is your preferred clear paint for finishing? I have not found a good paint for my woodworking projects.

nice job

the walnut and threaded rod give a cool look - good job man

Great videos!

So do we need a vid on sharpening the table saw blades? regards

i really like this one steve.and that finish seems really nice too. definitely have to order some.does it come in other flavors?or just walnut? thanks man

Couldn't you tape the boards together during drilling or would it have caused too much heat?

Isn't walnut purty? So, do you think the threaded rod will rust at all in a kitchen? I have no idea. It's not stainless, but is it lacquered or coated in some way? Hmmm.

would have beennice to use those end nuts with a cap :) Otherwise pretty cool! :)

Where did you get the hooks?

Do you mean haven, or heaven? Sorry, if i don't get it, but i'm no native speaker. Additional Comment: Nowadays your Videos start direct with your first working step / cut. I found the Introduction to the project "This time I'm going to build..." much more appealing. Nowadays you're in such a kind of a rush. Will watch your videos nevertheless.

I've watched enough scary movies to know this is unsafe.

is micro jig Gluten free? Low Carb?

If you want a more 'finished' look you can use cap nuts. It would require more precisely cut threaded rods however.

"Ain't no better comfort food than to simmer up a big heapin' pot of- MICROJIG" That killed me. Thanks. XD

what no green paint ?lol great looking project Steve love me some half laps too

Very, Very, Nice . I like the dark woods when it comes to in-home projects.

Looks Great Steve, saves space in the cabinets , and the Wood Finish is Awesome for Pens, I stopped using CA Glue finish for pens, and use Doctors Woodshop Pens Plus as well

You didn't show the most important thing-- how to mark the spots for hooks on the ceiling !!!

If you had chamfered the ends, then waited until the rack was assembled before chamfering the long sides, you wouldn't have the weird dips at the joints, the alternative would be to chamfer the insides of the joints ;)

Very nice! Is it fastened to joists or just drywall anchors?

Looks great Steve. I love using both metal and wood in projects. Well done. Douglas Also, what no Metallica? Awe man!

Wow, that finish really made the walnut pop! Great job as always Steve!

Dude you so screwed up the editing on this video I wanted to see the final piece 😑

Princess Meow Meow For President :D

Looks nice! I too preferred a preview of the project before the first step - we don't all have the attention span of a gnat, you know (maybe your metrics tell you different)

Great way to use up scraps and give a nice look to a kitchen.. Thanks for sharing!

:O Big thumbs up for Bruce! That's a nice finish... I bet if you put a bit of wax on it, it'll get that real nice and glossy chocolate texture. (We do that too with our Oak wood furniture and it looks amazing) Keep up the good work Steve! :D

Nice project. Coincidence, our house has the exact same kitchen layout, including the L shaped "peninsula". Our walls aren't blue, however... :)

I learned this about saw blades to determine if it is sharp or really needs sharpening. Carbide will cut when red hot however it is very brittle. Blades will gum up with sap and resins and will cut as a dull one will. if you can scratch your fingernail with the tip of a blade tooth your blade is not dull. So what to do? My sharpening company has to clean the saw blade before sharpening here is what you can do as a regular person. Buy oven cleaner from the grocery store and a 12 inch pizza pan and a cheap long handle vegetable cleaning brush. Place the blade in the pizza pan and spray on the oven cleaner and let sit for 10 minutes then scrub the blade with the brush. I suggest you wear dishwashing gloves. Flip the blade and clean the opposite side. Conpletely dry the blade and put back on the saw and I assure you it will cut like new!

Was there a specific reason you installed the threaded rods in that orientation? I'm just curious if you could have eliminated the cross-rod in the middle by rotating them 90 degrees and threading all the rods through the center board. Nice work regardless. I wish I had room in my kitchen to hang a pot rack!

another great video Steve, always enjoy yours because you make mistakes and show them and also how you put them right, it makes us lesser skilled mere mortals feel better about our own inadequacies lol have a great weekend!

I concur. Nice rack. I'm thinking about building one of these but... Bigger. Heavy duty. I have a bunch of cast iron skillets that need a different home. They live stacked up on the stove now and I keep shuffling them from side to side and putting them on the tables. My kitchen has 0 for storage a horrible design. I'm thinking a 4x8 size with 2x6 lumber. I may dress it up and get cedar or maybe oak if I it doesn't cost too much but you know, my kitchen walls are tongue and groove pine. Lag bolt it to the ceiling with some tasteful rusty tow chains or something. Are the rods on yours structural or simply a way to hang pots? I may use some 1/2" all thread. I think that I could slip that into some 1/2" rigid for sleeves.

Yea, that's be my personal head bumping music instrument! :D Anyhow, it looks really nice...Though, eventually it would have been a little nicer if you had used those: www.hornbach.at/shop/Einschlagmutter-10-x-13-mm-galv-verzinkt-100-Stueck/7807803/artikel.html :)

Another great project. Unfortunately I have 8' ceilings and a small kitchen. Thanks Steve!

Awesome project, think i might give this a shot. As far as hanging the rack, did you locate the hooks on ceiling joists/studs, or just hang it wherever you wanted? I know skillets aren't generally that heavy, just thinking the combined weight of a dozen how strong just the wallboard/drywall is to support that weight.

Steve, you’re awesome! Absolutely love the hanging pot rack. Where can I find or order that Dr. wood shop pens plus finish?

Nice idea I think Ill use copper pipe great finish

Why no pocket holes ?? :) i am just kidding Nice idea and great job . Thanks for sharing

Always wanted to make one of these... but alas, my wife and I bought a home with only 8 foot tall ceilings :( If we hung something from the ceiling it'd hit us in the head lol. We even took out the ceiling fans, sometimes I'd stretch and I'd stick my hands in the blades!

Looks shaky as frig tho...

Steve I'm a huge fan! Nicee rack lol and I was wondering where u find your background music? Do you custom make it or get it from somewhere if so could you help me out? Thank you

I'm making this from pine and larger, 2' by 4'. I'm wondering if I'll need a center cross piece or if the steel rods will give it enough stability

It is nice but for our kitchen takes up too much space, better to have pans aligned side by side for thinner profile. My other concern, the pans weigh about 60 lbs., not much support here from the ceiling.

I used to rent a house that was falling apart. but two things made the kitchen look like a million bucks, one was a hanging rack for the pots and pans, the other was an island with bar chairs stools on the other side. It's surprising how just a few small things can distract you from a house that the roof is leaking, the decks falling apart, and the landscaping is overgrown, and the house is infested with yellow jackets. But boy, that hanging pot rack looks cool. Thanks Steve for another good video !!! You rock !

Great project and the finish turned out just beautiful! I do wish to offer a bit of constructive criticism, you should have waited until after the final assembly to chamfer the long edges. The voids at the intersections look a little odd.

Steve: You're gonna have to leave. You won't like the smell of this. Cat: Yeah thanks for the input, slave. I'm just gonna lay here in your way until you feed me.

Well i'm back, I Subscribed on your end grain cutting board video then got busy. And now I'm Back!

What about pot lids? I have a handing pot rack, but I still have a pile of pot lids all over my kitchen. Any ideas? Maybe a project video on that?

when you made the lamp using that beautiful ancient wood, didn't you use lapjoints... remember what happened with that :P

I believe that those "mistakes" are made deliberately to show us the newbies that they are not the end of the world and can always be repaired and we shouldn't quit so easy.

Hi Steve, What's your Ebay name? I wanted to show my daughter some of the items you've auctioned off for charity but I cant seem to find you on there.

I've watched every single one of your videos and I'm a huge fan. I have a fantasy football league and a trophy that we need a base for to put out name plates on the sides. Would you make a base that way I can have the instructions for an awesome build? Thanks!

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so I'm gonna take Steve's advice and cook up a pot of Microjig.

Very nice Steve! Great idea on fixing the gap! 😁

Wish there were more Fridays in the week so there would be more of your shows. I sure enjoy your videos.. I will be telling my brothers about your channel.. have a great weekend.😁

Love watching your videos Steve and have made a few of your projects but unfortunately i felt that in this vid your heart wasn't in it/losing interest hope this is not the case as always look forward to Fridays

Steve, you should have tarnished the end of the bolts with the JAX darkening agent that Jimmy DiResta uses.

Cool. Has a real Stickley/Arts&Crafts feel.

This is so cool. I wanted a pot rack so bad but every time I check seemed to to be expensive. I would appreciate if I could get a set of plans to do my own pot rack Thanks

very cool project steve ! thanks for ideas you give to make my own projects !

good looking and functional piece! you really piled them on to it too.... The finish looks interesting, is it like most pen finishes where it needs to be "polished" to get it up to a shine?

muy bueno Steve! nice work... I hope my wife didn't see this project....

Woodworking Genius.

Hey S nice rack, Mmm thought you would have hit the pots/pans with wooden spoons at the end as a sort of Mattius test thingy, G

In the middle of a kitchen remodel and we totally wanted to do a hanging pot rack but we have a dust problem so they're not viable.

WOW! You are a wood wizard! So beautiful! Just subscribed!

Nice project. Maybe I´ll build one, some day. Or I make a lamp out of it.

Good project, Steve! Although I think I wouldn't enjoy having such a big volume of heavy stuff suspended in the middle of the kitchen. I would probably end up hitting my head over and over for Gourmet's sake!

nice build, but I don't like the threaded rod, maybe crome tube would have been nicer

Very nice Steve. Your video tutorials are always encouraging. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these woodworking videos. I am always inspired by your work.

I love it! I am going to make one using all Stainless Steel Hardware & I am using cap nuts or acorn nuts on the end of the all thread.

What do you do with the scrap cut-offs from your scrap cut-off -project made with scrap wood left over from scraps of cut-off scrap pieces?

I like that finish. A lot. Much better than spray lacquer.

Steve! Be more careful! You almost nicked your fingertips at 1:20

How about putting copper or some other metal tubing over the threaded rod to hide it maybe even plastic tubing and it could be painted or stained.

Great project. I got lost halfway but I like the format of the videos.

I would have done the chamfers after it was glued up to prevent the gaps where the laps joints are. cool project otherwise

that finish looks classy and seems easy to apply. please elaborate on your experience in the mere minutes this weekend.

how do you feel about your band saw? do you have the much reported problems with vibration as a lot of people seem to?

awesome awesome! no I need to get this ugly chandelier out of my kitchen so I can put one of these up there instead!

That would look really cool if you used copper pipe over the threaded rod. acorn nuts would be a neat touch.
