One of our Rackers here in DFW has hand crafted a beautiful wooden box that is put together with dowels and dovetails, no nails or screws were used. The box has the shape of the Fanati-Guy on the lid which was inlaid with dowels as well. The box is 20 ¾” L x 11 ¼” W x 12” D.
He wanted us to hold an auction through-out all of Rackspace and all proceeds would be donated to a charity that we sponsor. He said the last time he did something like this, he was able to get $500 for the box.
Since you guys head up such things like this, I was hoping I could send you the box and have you or your team set up an auction for it.
Here is a write up from Jim McNabb, the artist:
It’s made from #1 White pine. It is made with hand cut Dovetails as the joining method. Dovetails fit together with interlocking surfaces which adds an enormous amount of strength. There is no metal used in the construction of these boxes (except for tools) they are glued together and then pinned using a method from 13th century Europe. Metal was scarce and expensive wood was plentiful and cheap. Boxes like these moved products and produce all over England, Ireland, and Scotland and the rest of Europe and to the “New World” starting in 1585.
The Inlay is 1/8 inch dowel pins, that were stained to add contrast, driven into the wood to form the outline of the “Racker Man” The finish is several applications of hand rubbed Tung Oil. On average it takes about 40 hours to complete a box.
I started making these boxes as a tool to teach myself to make hand cut dovetail joints like the ones used in antique furniture. One of my other hobbies is the conservation, restoration, and refinishing of antique furniture using original finishes and methods of construction.
I’m in the 7th year of this self education process. I thought that I was a pretty good “Termite” until I started this endeavor. . . . it has been a humbling experience.
Dry fit. On this platform I'm experimenting with hidden vent holes; everything is going to vent through a hole that's at the base of the fender mounting boss.
After the market on Kerkplein finished for the day the various market stalls were dismantled, racked, stacked and left ready to be used again.

Rack has a pin that releases it & allows easy access to the trunk.
Rack is Allen Sports 532RR. Adapter bar for my bike (women's) is Allen top tube 900B.
We got the rack for 75 online & adapter was less than 20. Both used a lot, the bar even more so because we also use it when taking the bikes places in his Golf with his Yakima rack.

Solar Bike Tree
The Solar Bike Tree is functional art. Part sculpture, part bike rack, the tree has motion-detected, solar powered lights in the treetop. A “nest” houses the battery and electrical components. Up to 15 bikes can be parked at the tree: 12 in the root “racks” around the base; three more can be hung from the tree trunk. The Bike Tree is sited at Science World, close to the 2010 Olympics Athletes' Village. It sits at the confluence of three major cycle paths, including the city's premiere Central Valley Greenway. The Solar Bike Tree replaces a street lamp at the end of an arc of large trees in planters, becoming one of the “trees” in effect. The round hoops of the tree’s canopy echo the spherical shape of Science World. BC Hydro funded the solar component of the piece and Webster Solar Energy was the solar consultant.
Artist Statement:
Bike racks typically don't beautify outdoor spaces, they are merely functional and are often seen to just take up space. The Solar Bike Tree turns a bike rack into a work of art, making it cool to ride and park your bike and perhaps more desirable to have a bike rack in front of businesses or in public spaces. By turning a bike rack into a sculpture, we hope to bring more attention to "alternative transportation" in this time of rising fuel costs and peak oil concerns. It also gives bike owners a safer, more theft and vandal-resistant way to securely park their bikes. –Spring Gillard, Garden Heart Production
I made a nest out of vintage baby rick rack and then picked all the pale pink eggs out of bag of Cadbury chocolate eggs and filled the nest.
For long-term storage, Mom rolls her paintings on fat cardboard tubes, with bubble wrap around them, and covers the whole thing in plastic, fastened with strips of cling-wrap. It's a laborious and slightly delicate process to wrap and unwrap them. To avoid having to do this too often, she hangs the paintings she wants to keep handy on a rug rack, so she can flip through them easily to show curators or collectors. There are one or two paintings on each side of each rod, times twelve rods, so this rack probably has about 26 to 30 paintings on it right now.
The rack is a Nitto R-14 (rear) rack. For the newbies to Kogswell, this rack works because of the adjustability of the rack arms AND, more importantly, the fork crown mounting points. Note the end of the braces coming up through the basket... still have some work to do.
FYI: Rivendell seems to own the market on the Nitto R-14 rack. But for an off the shelf rack, it is strong and amazingly adjustable.
Dylan wrenching.

Jim Blackburn front rack that was on Angelina's Steyr for a long time. It was on the back, spaced with a chunk of wood, but it was a front rack the whole time! I got it for $15 at the Trips For Kids ReCyclery in San Rafael, CA.
Argyle champagne cork used as a mount. Maybe I'll make a Korbel one for my visit to California...
