End result.
Removed the first one i uploaded because this style is way easier to build.

Threaded 6mm bar sealed wood and aluminium tape cost me $200 to make the large one.

Using a dimmer to control the heat with a 10a breaker for protection :)
Will be doing some cable management soon.
 
That style of rack is definitely becoming a popular one

If you don’t mind me asking what it costs to buy the parts?

I want to make an 80L bells tub rack
