Thanks Melissa
Thanks CMF, good that your gourds are doing fine, mine are nearly the right size, I have many that are 8 to 9 inches
Thanks, rrMartin, Paul
Johnny, yes, thats a good design and I like it
Thanks Tony, Bill & Tammy
DakotaLady, no, I'm sorry, I have no plans. If you wish, I could draw up some plans, it may be crude but I think that I could walk you through any questions, they are extremely easy to build. Its simply two hubs (or 3)
, threaded rods to hold the hubs a the correct place. then attach a cable to it
Seller, she may turn a "Gun Barrel" on me if I send her a rack....smile .

Emil,

You don't have to do that. If you ever get some time and can take a few close up shots of the way you fastened the arms to your pole and the hubs you are speaking of, I could probably handle it on my own. Don't rush, heck I still don't have martins this year.

I had a pole with my T14 I built go down last year in a severe storm, so I would like to eventually use that pole to make a homemade gourd rack. It will be my fall project. I will need to take it in to have someone weld certain parts for me but if I had close up photos I think I could manage.

Seller...very nice!!! I like your way of thinking. :lol:
