You did a terrific job!It looks very nice.I made an all aluminum double width rack myself.Mine is stands 58"tall by 52"wide and 22"deep.It is a 4 shelves design plus the top shelf.I still explore my options of finishing it.I eliminated the powder coating option due to heat envolved in the application.I fear the heat will brake or pop some of my close tolerance fasteners.Also I don't want to anodize it because the process wears down some of the surface of the metal which will enlarge existing holes for screws,another problem is I will need to remove any steel from the aluminum rack prior to the anodizing.
I am thinking of going a two part epoxy paint or laquer.The shelves are going to be 2" or 3" thick maple.
Regards
George
