  1. I posted this in .tech, but didn't get any responses, so
    I'll try here...

    I'm looking for plans (or a pre-made one) for a platform
    which I can easily attach to and remove from my rear rack,
    which would be big enough to hold a large gym bag (approx
    27" long, 12" wide) without it hanging way off the end and
    sides as it does on the factory rack.

    I'm sure I could whip something up out of 1/4" plywood and
    four u-bolts, but was wondering is somebody knows of a better-
    looking, more durable solution.

    Aluminum would be nice, but not necessary. I have wood
    working tools, but not much in the way of metal working
    tools except for a bench vise, a hacksaw and a Dremel, so
    complex metal bending and welding are out (simple bending,
    cutting and soldering are ok).

    Thanks for any suggestions!
