How to build your own industrial bakers rack

If you are a regular here, you may recall a few years back I purchased a traditional ladder shelf that I made over with Kilz hide all.  It was a great project.

 Although, I still liked it, I wanted something a little more unique.  When I started pricing out what industrial bakers racks cost I was blown away.  There was no way I was paying that kind of money for them.  One day I happened to be on pinterest and I pinned this very cool industrial type shelf that I thought would go perfectly in our kitchen.

Restoration hardware

I believe it came from Restoration Hardware.  Which is one of my favorite places.  However, again, way out of the price range. I showed my husband, and he of course reluctantly just shrugged his shoulders. I told him, he could make it himself.

Then one fine day, I cooked him a really nice dinner and was super duper nice to him and then I readdressed the shelf again that evening.

Women have some secret powers I think over men.  It worked like a charm, and on his next day off we went over to Lowe’s hardware and picked up our supplies.

The size we chose to make was perfect for the space.  We do not have that much wall space in our kitchen- dining area.  The cool thing about the size, that we like, is that it looks like an old emergency escape ladder on the side of a brick building in NYC.  That is what came to my mind anyhow.

What you need:

quantity: 2 – 18″ pipes

quantity: 10 – 12″ pipes

quantity: 10- T-fittings

quantity: 14- 10″ pipes

quantity: 14-flanges

quantity:  2- 90 degree elbows

and 2 large boards of plywood.

Pretty simple to put together.  As you can see from the pictures down below.  Everything just gets screwed in accordingly, and then you lean it on the wall, anchor it, and screw into place.

Cut your plywood to size and simply place on top in between the pipes.  Remember, you can custom make this to size your ideal space.

With the left over plywood I made this LOVE sign for the mantel. I have a few more upcoming projects to share that I made with the scraps.  I really enjoy making signs now and I told my husband I should sell these.  His response was, you won’t like making them anymore if you go that route lol!

The project total was just a little shy of $300.00 total.  Still a lot, but considering the ones I was liking were well into the $800.00 to $1,000 range. How to build a rustic shelf

I didn’t even have to do a thing to the wood.  We found large pieces of beat up looking rustic plywood at Lowe’s for around $5.00 a board and all my husband had to do is measure it to size and cut it using a circular saw.

This is the same wood I recently used for my LOVE sign.

Perfect compliment to the pulley light.

Recently, when I shared our Winter kitchen, I did not show you this side:)

industrial pipe shelf

In my recent journey’s I found this neat old vintage apple peeler.  I shared it on my facebook page and some of my friends there said they have one too and use it all the time.

    It looks great Debbie and the DIY way was a much better price. It will be a great spot for seasonal decoating and styling.

      You don’t need much space that is for sure! I was thinking the other day, even one over the toilet bowl would be neat shelving.

    I love it too! We are making some pipe shelves at #1 daughters house as her Christmas gift, but the man with the tools has to heal from two December shoulder surgeries first. Cruel punishment for him.

    I just happened upon your site from a link on Rodale’s Organic Life. What a great find – I am amazed at all your clever and unique DIY ideas, and the safe home cleaning “recipes”. Poking around I saw your industrial baker’s rack and I thought “I could do that!”…..I can’t wait to get the materials and set about to putting it together.

    I can’t wait to see what you have for the holidays!!!

    Really cool to see your process for making this baking rack! I love how those pipes are so unique and yet fit in to the overall space so well. My cousin has been thinking of getting a baking rack, so maybe this article could be beneficial to her when she’s thinking about her options.
