DIY drying rack

I spotted a couple of very nice drying racks on eBay but decided to make one using some scrap wood. I thought it would be easy but it took a couple of hours to work out a design (I'm no woodworker). A friend at work sold me his old Ryobi 10" table saw, which made this possible.  The saw's a bit wonky but after years of dreaming about it, I finally have a way to rip wood, make grooves and half-lap joints.  Now that I have a prototype, I plan to make a couple more of these. 

Plus I'm practicing to make a custom focusing screen and plate holder for my 8x10 Orbit.
