My biggest WW project ever

I don't remember, but I replaced those mosquito curtains with noseeum screen after our spring trip this year. I have magnetic closure noseeum on the slider.

So sad, Carolyn, that your OP was ruined by Photobucket and all of your pictures are gone. See the recent thread discussing the problem. Easiest fix in my book is to upload to WoodNet from the Pics that are likely already on your hard drive. I have said good bye to Photobucket.

Ed, I looked into doing that.  It would be easier to just start over than to dive into that gibberish.

What irks me most about Photobucket is that they made all the Pics invisible that had already been uploaded from the site and replaced them with their stupid logo. They should have at least held off on prior uploads so people could at least still see them.

One more piece of the puzzle in place. Like the corresponding area on the other side, I had to just let this stew until my subconscious gave me the answer. A couple weeks ago, I woke up knowing just what I needed to do.

The two complications: First, the anchoring points are not parallel to each other. Second, because of my insect screen,I needed some space (about an inch) for the screen to function properly, the whole assembly had to be easily removable so I could remove/install the screen, and there could be no horizontal support in th3 middle.

After MrNomer provided me a rivnut at the forward end, I gathered scrap from the shop and started mocking up. Five layers of 1/2" ply plus an angled one brought me parallel to the opening 1.25" out.





I used Baltic Birch for the span and splurged on a piece of 1/2" poplar from Lowe’s for the curved section so I wouldn’t have any grain to mess with as I sanded-and sanded-and sanded—did I mention a lot of sanding? The result was worth it.



The other end is supported by a strange-shaped contraption that I forgot to take a photo of.



I supported the middle with an L-bracket screwed into the 1” wooden joist which is attached to the ceiling beam.

The final result:


The final touch is a drying rack which has already proven immensely useful. It can hold a lot of weight and was the driving force for making sure the whole assembly is sturdy.

Looks very professional.  

That drying rack looks very functional as well.  Do you find it has any issues operating?  Thinking about something like that for my kids towels in the bathroom.

It is quite sturdy, but I suspect a kid could break it. Both sides need to come out together to avoid racking and it does require some effort.
