Looking for a challenge?
I'm looking for someone to build a few rack type setups from primarily square metal tubing. See pics for a rough idea, Happy to pay well for quality work.
Pm me on here if you are interested.
Thanks

Looks pretty simple, according to your transparent "sketches".
Want to have another go?

lot of work in something like that.. Look simple but measuring, cutting, squaring and welding will be time consuming..

Are you aware there is a Welding Forum? You might get more joy there. This one is mainly about machining.

That is a big job and is the material mild stell that is zinc plated and is it mig welded. The pics are very ''busy''. The other thing is the unit built in a way that the racks/shelves are stackable so it can set up for 3,5,6 shelves high?

The pics are probably a little confusing. The rack that I'm after would be 6-8 tubs/levels high. Materials are flexible, mild steel or anything else similar would be fine. I'm after multiple racks so if anyone is keen to take on this project let me know.
Any more details required just ask.
Cheers

Depending on how durable/load bearing it needs to be, I reckon you could build this out of qubelock connectors and light aluminium tube. The connectors are about $2 each, so pretty easy to price. Rivet some channel for the draw slides. does it need wheels? Cheers - Mick

Thanks Mick.
Doesn't need wheels but they would be good.
Where would be the best/cheapest place to get qubelok around sydney?
Also could someone point me in the direction of the best place to get sheets of punched out steel mesh?
Excuse my lack of knowledge
