A quick whack rack

We have boxes of toys (many of them untried due to time restraints) under the bed... there is even a spike missile box at the end of it full of assorted gear as well. The trouble was none of it provided suitable storage for things like floggers. For a while there they hung off the bed head... which while a little too convenient was also a finite space. So one small slave decided to end all of the aggravation and find something better... and it wasn't until looking for something on the blog that one realised that there had been no follow up.

Now it is no small secret that one loves power tools more than most and that slightly unhealthy obsession runs to  hardware stores as well. They are a constant source of wonder and inspiration. So with a happy heart we set out to find something to hang a few floggers on...
It was at our local hardware chain that we found this shelf from a Rack It garage shelving system. It was a good size being 600mmx900mm (24.5"x37") and a perfect design for invisible mounting on a wall.
So the shelf, along with a piece of timber a bit smaller than the slots, a couple of screws, some wall plugs and off we set.
It was a simple matter of cutting the timber to length and wall mounting them horizontally, before popping the shelf up and drilling a couple of screws in through the metal and the timer.

And there you are a perfect whack rack...
Just add a few butchers' hooks and hang your weapons toys.
This is ideal to shove in the back of a closet, behind a curtain or door, or as in our case, where you can't miss it J

Thanks for sharing! We definitely have need of something like this, so a trip to the hardware store is probably in order...
