Chicken Wire Test Tube Rack
    #15162730 - 10/01/11 02:23 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

I have made several of these racks for different size and style test tubes
but I thought I would share it with the community this time around. Here
are some pictures of the finished rack holding 20 -40ML test tubes.



It obviously does not compare to a $20-30 test tube rack but it works in
a pinch when you need get get some slants made.

I took some heavy gauge chicken wire I had sitting around and cut a good
sized square out. I then laid out a grid to figure out how much room each tube
needed, and then began to cut out each section. I then bent it so it had
a bottom and sides, filed down most of the sharp/jagged edges and bent some
wire over on itself to close the rack and give it a bit of structural strength.

I did not made a TEK for this because everyone will be working with different
tools and wire, but just wanted to show what an hour and some hand tools
can craft.

Glad it helped filthy!

I have been making these for a while myself putting off purchasing a few
racks. I seem to always have different sized tubes around so buying a rack
for them all could get expensive. At some point I will invest the money
I am sure, but until then....

:ahahaha:

One word of advice...measure your PC before building :facepalm:

I had to cut off a row of tubes because it was JUST to big to fit..lol
makes me feel a little stupid but thought I would pass it along to you
all so you do not make the same mistake I did lol.

I plan to make a few more when I have some time.

Yah, some great guy hooked them up in a trade;-)

The mouths of the tubes are JUST big enough for me to get my scalpel in
so I threw them in with the batch.
