Ok, here is the semi-final product (bamboo grocery crate rack). I will get real racks when I get more money but for now this has been through a few really good road tests and shows promise. I like that I have my tool belt attached, it makes me feel like I am carrying a home away from home on the back of my bike. It is obviously pretty top heavy which has shown to be an issue so what I will do is attach bags to the sides of the crate to carry things like cans of food and for delicate things like loaves of bread I will use the crate on top. I feel like I can at least use this to practice hauling my gear for day trips and the such. It is currently drying and getting ready for another coat of polyurethane. I was up all night working on this and almost gave up but I feel good about it at this point.
