[QUOTE="jamist, post: 316953, member: 3095"] Hi, I picked up a nice 3 x 12 Decatur Industries rack a while back - great price, didn't need it but just in case, etc. Now that I've decided to use it, I've run into a problem - all the holes that stems should fit into are closed at the front. So longer-than-average stems, or bents won't fit on the rack. (If you've never used a Decatur Rack this may be hard to visualize, but suffice it to say that space is limited and pipe stems don't bend.) I'm thinking about cutting out The front of the holes so the pipes can go in - I've got smaller racks where that is how they were made. Kinda making them c-shaped instead of o-shaped. Have any of you tried to do this? Is it possible to do without ruining the rack? Will it look like a 6th grade woodshop project? Any tips and/ or advice are welcome. If by chance you possess the arcane wisdom to slip pipes into those holes easily, that would be great, too. I've always thought there was a trick to it , but I've never been able to figure it out. Thanks, Jim D. [/QUOTE]
