I would like to build a storage rack to hold my bowling balls that are not currently in use but I still want to hold on to.  Does anyone have any building plans for this kind of project?

Rowdy,
That looks like something I was thinking of.  I am finishing my basement and have some scrap 2x4's laying around that should work.  I see some kind of black mark's under the balls on the racks.  Did you make some kind of cutout to keep the balls from rolling?
Thanks

I put this together this weekend:

3/4" plywood for the sides,
1x4" ripped in half and notched out for holding the rails.  
2x3" for the bottom bracing, and I added two more pieces to brace, just under the top rails.
1 1/2" and 1 1/4" wood poles for the rails.

I figure I have about $80 in materials, mainly because I bought the pre-cut 3/4" plywood (in 24x48" sections).  A light sanding around the whole thing to avoid splinters.

Slapped a coat of black semi-gloss paint on it Sunday, and 3 coats of spray on laquer (another $10).

I will make some changes to the next one I build - I need some storage for my shoes, towels, cleaners, etc.  All in all, it was fun to build and I don't think it looks bad for something I put together in a few hours.  I still might cut some handles on the top to make it a little easier to move.
