New Rocket Storage Shelves, Part 1


Here's my old rocket shelf in my laundry room.
I've been remodeling and one of the upstairs bedrooms will be the rocket room.
The old shelf has short 1/8" welding rods to slide the rockets over.
Some of the old rods are crooked, I didn't have a level bubble in my hand drill.



Home Depot doesn't carry the 1/8" diameter rods anymore, I picked some up at Lowe's.









The rods are dirty, wipe them down with a paper towel.
After that, wipe them down with some light oil.





My old shelf had rods that were about 8" long.
8" rods turned out to too tall for most models.
More models were slid loose into the motor mounts and not into the launch lug.

A bunch of 5" long rods were cut with a bolt cutter.
