Decided we needed a coat rack to hang our coats on chilly days when taking off and returning from a Jeep ride. I had some 2" flat stock, found some railroad spikes from a kid on Craigslist and brought out the trusty FC-90 flux core welder.
Evaporusted the spikes, cut them down to 5" and welded them onto the bar stock. Drilled the bar stock at 32" on center. Found a couple of 1/2" spacers so the coat rack would "float" off the wall and screwed it into the studs.
I painted it with that Rustoleum hammer finish spray paint (gray), let it dry, then used some Rustoleum satin black oil based paint in a can and brushed on a solid coat of black, then immediately wiped it off. What was left made it look old.
I think it came out nice... what do you think?
