Reclaimed Hat/Coat Rack/Shelf

Here's a shelf/coat rack I banged out the last couple of days.




 The reclaimed lumber is from a 1864 Carriage House.
I planed the bottom so they would all be the same thickness....careful of nails!!
I designed (I figure this stuff as I go and rarely draw a plan) and built the steel frame from 1 1/4" tubing that came from the dumpster.
  U-clamps hold each shelf board to the tubes.  The right angles were calculated and notched by hand and everything is Tig welded.

There were plenty of nails in this stuff....

The lower board slides into L brackets and three antique metal hooks from a Historic 1920's home are used for hats or coats."
It's about 39" in length and the wall mounts are 32" apart (for 16 "on center stud spacing)

I think I'm going to sell it.
If anyone's interested...hit me up.
