Build It Metal Coat Rack With Jimmy Diresta

Resources: To weld the frame together, Jimmy used a MIG welder, which is manufactured by Lincoln Electric. The light generated from welding is harmful, so be sure to wear protective clothing and a welding mask. Never look directly at the light from welding. The structure of the coat rack was made using 2x2 square stock 16 gauge steel, which can be purchased from a metal shop. The coat hooks were made using salvaged railroad ties. The top of the coat rack was made using a piece of 2” thick sapele, but any thick piece of wood would work. Jimmy used boiled linseed oil as a finish on both the metal and the wood. Expert assistance with this project was provided by Jimmy DiResta.
