Yes I see the big bow, that means I can't cut a straight line. But i'll have it trued up before I get it mounted.

It's a wonder I have any scrap wood to build this the way I cut. Measure 3 times cut4.
Top is still dry fitted but I have some l brackets and will secure it from the bottom.
Btw, that's a level bubble!

I do get lucky some times. Totally didn't plan this but this rack fits right smartly.
I think so, I don't like the idea of drilling into the dry wall for anchors. No drywall professionals were used in the installation of drywall. @errains
My old computer shop sigh it's pretty solid so it will work on the higher stuff.

Anything I mount to a wall is done into studs. I bought a stud finder years ago and use it all the time.
The wire shelves in my walk in closet were done weird and one morning I came in and the partial shelf and pulled out of the dry wall. The dip wad just mounted a shelf for clothes and stuff to just the damn dry wall. MORON.
Anyway. I removed the rest of the shelf, got the required parts to remount it and moved all the mounts where thy went into the STUDS. It aint coming down again anytime before I sell this place.

Well, you are making great progress, Bob! I made my own paint rack from scrap plywood and pine strips, good enough.
The one thing that bothers me about your set-up is the lack of mud and tape on the sheetrock. I know, I know, but I spent years pounding nails and hanging rock, so this would have been the first thing I would have completed way before any consideration for a work bench, HA! Ya, the younger we get, the more anal retentive we become, don'tchya find?
Ruck On, Bob, T'sall good, Brother.
P.S. Like Rich said, I cut it three times and it's still too short, wtflock, over?

Oddly enough it doesn't bother me in the least bit because I don't want to do that work. I didn't even bother doing the roof. Too much overhead work.

As I do a fair bit with aluminum and major chop ups, I have learned to cut things a little long if it is critical. That way it is easy to shorten to the "right" dimension.
When I needed to make two cuts to the shield on the Pak40 build, I scored lines where the cuts needed to be exactly. Then rather than cut at the lines and drift off, I just easily cut down the center and sanded/filed/carved the plastic right to the lines on each side of the cuts which worked perfectly.

Found the radio for the Piper! Still haven't found the red cap for the airbrush lube.

Glad you found the radio! Just found it funny about the lube cap.
I know this is repetitive but I got nothing else to post.
Notice the back splash is square and plumb now, no hump and it's level at the top. Now to think of how to secure it to the wall and my spacing for the paint racks. Then lighting!
