Perry, since the rack tapers from bottom to top wouldn't threaded dowel rods go into the poles at an angle?  I would be concerned it would make the rack a little unstable.

Yes they would go in at an angle Jim. And a constantly changing angle because each shelf would be smaller than the one below it. I know thats a lot of measuring and fitting. But once you had one made I believe it could be used as a template. And you would have to have big legs because at each shelf level two dowl rods would have to go into the leg there. Thats why I have never made one. To a woodworker they just knock something like that out. It would take a small forest for me to make just one.  :o ;D

I hear you there, Perry.  I am the nuclear holocost of home improvement projects.  And that's when I even try them.

My wife and I have this discussion once a year when I botch a project particularly badly.  She says we should be able to do simple projects.  My response is always ... "but we can't." :o
