Fun With Unistrut: Ceiling Material Storage Rack

[extropic]

How about putting electromagnets all over your ceiling? Flip a switch and the metal would get sucked up to the ceiling. Turn the switch off and back down into your hands! It’s a million dollar idea, I’ll share it with yah!

AND, the clatter would be instant indication of a late night power failure (no point in just sleeping through it).

Mike,
Nice rack.

Mike,
Nice rack.

Mike, I'll bet that's the first time some guy has looked at your pic and said nice rack.

I though All of Cal was a major quake zone and AZ and NV were going to be ocean front properly. Just use the HF ratchet straps to hold it all down I'm sure they would survive a Quake..

I've seen a few pretty nice metal tables at work made out of unistrut.

Could be part of an anti-intruder/anti-theft system too!
The burglar trips one switch and is immediately hit with 350lbs of steel stock.

sometimes i wish this place would sink into the ocean.
if you have ever been in Hwy 580/Hwy 205 rush hour Traffic, you'd wish the very same thing
Thanks Ken, for the idea of the strap!

Every time I am in Ca, I wonder how you guys do it. I couldn't take it.
BTW that was a nice rack too.

I often wonder how i do it too!
my folks live 90 miles from me in an area that doesn't have a lot of population.
if i could swing it i would live in their area in a minute

thanks for the compliment!
