Can you remind me how many cans you want to hold up there?
Out of curiosity, is there a metalworking reason to go with square tube over round? Easier to do joints without needing a tube notching jig of some type? Having never welded anything like this seems that would be an obvious advantage anyway.
joints are easier with square, yes, but I have a square tube bender and not a round so that is the main reason.
1" square tube is also cheaper and easier to find than 1" round too.
you can use conduit but I don't like welding or grinding galvanized metal.
edit: bolting stuff onto a square rack is much simpler too, just drill and insert nutsert and you are good to go.
Cool, makes sense. Just was curious having never done anything like that myself.
Dig the turtles on Godwin's uprights. That is a cool touch.
A maximum of 8. Can you set it up so that they'd be partitioned into groups of 2?

Excellent.
, and unexpected.
Wow
I was expecting 2 or 3 - 8 won't fit side by side - the rack is 50" between the rails and the scepter cans are 7" wide...So 7 max side by side, or two rows of 4, but that would be 330+ lbs full extra not counting the rack if my math is correct.
what do you think about this idea:

a 40 x 30 1/2 ply box with 4 equal partitions would hold 8 cans grouped by standing on their sides and could hold 4 cans lying flat.
the cans are 18.5X14X7" each

Let's just drop this from the design, I'd kinda overlooked the weight issue. When I decide to carry any cans on rack the the box idea looks like a good way to do it.

Hey, I made you a turtle too, but you can only see the head right now. Is that cool?
mounting plates installed, removable crossbars, yakima bar hold downs - It would be finished if my drill hadn't broken in the middle of the night.
BTW, I am the worst estimator of project time ever. I thought this was going to be a one, maybe two night project.

heading to the summit, but I can go a bit out of the way for the right place.

I figured it would be your kind of place. It helps that it is tasty too.
