- 1). Measure a lumber stud and make three marks with intervals of 8 inches. Use the saw to cut the lumber at the third mark, or at 24 inches. Do the same with the second lumber stud. You should now have two 24-inch back pieces. This surf rack fits two surfboards, you can adjust the measurements depending on how many surfboards you intend to store.
- 2). Use the cordless drill and spade bit to drill 1/2-inch holes into the back pieces. Line the point of the spade bit at the two 8-inch interval marks you've made and start the drill at a slow speed. Hold the drill steady and increase the motor speed gradually. Stop at about 1/2-inch deep. There should be two holes for each of your studs.
- 3). Fit of all the dowels into the holes and measure their lengths using the tape measure. Make sure they are the same length as the shortest dowel. Use the handsaw to trim the dowels as necessary to make sure they're all even. If they are already equal in length, proceed to the next step.
- 4). Pour some wood glue into the holes and then twist the dowels as you insert them. You should now have two back pieces with four supports sticking out of the studs.
- 5). Slide the hollow foam pipe covers over the four dowels. The hollow foam covers are shaped like hollow tubes that cover the dowels entirely. This protects the surface of your surfboards.
- 6). Rest the two back pieces vertically on your wall about 4 feet away from each other. You can adjust the space between the back pieces depending on the height of your surfboards.
- 7). Screw the back pieces to your wall based on your adjustments. The back pieces of the rack should stand vertically and parallel to one another. Rest your surfboards horizontally on the supports.
