Carson the "Projecter"

It has already been documented that I do a lot of "projecting" around our apartment. Recently, Carson has been getting in on the action. Thanks to his job at BYU he has access to all kinds of tools and welding materials, so his projects aren't the sewing, paper, or plant type like mine are. They are man projects. 

His latest - a weight rack. 

Remember a long time ago when I posted pictures of our apartment? And how I didn't show you most of our second bedroom because it was a mess? Well, part of the problem was a pile of free weights, gym bags, resistance bands, and an easy bar. Carson doesn't do well with piles. Or anything that isn't organized in general. So, he made his own weight rack to hold the free weights and bar. Everything else has a place underneath it - a perfect solution. 

Carson also put his new found engineering education to work as he designed the weight rack.

First he designed it all in CAD (computer aided design). 

Then CAD gave him this nice picture of it. 
Now all he had to do was make it look like this. 

I think he succeeded. 
What do you think? 

Much better than a pile of stuff.
