I have an idea for a modification of the sword rack I saw here.

Like the other thread, the rack can be placed on the wall or floor, but it holds one of any tool instead of only the swords. However, create a rack and you can combine it with another rack by crafting them together.

This gives you a half rack that holds two tools, it stands half a black tall. Combine those half racks the same as the previous rack and you get the full face rack which holds four tools and stands a full cube face. Combine those and get a two cube high rack that can free stand or wall mount. Standing racks of any height can be placed back to back to create a double sided rack.
The racks work like chests. Click them and you can place items in them or remove them, and unlike a chest the slot position relates to where the tool will appear on the rack. Top slot equals top rack position. With a double sided rack there is no real left or right, so I don't know how the left and right slot columns will relate. Perhaps North and East facing rack sides are always right columns.
I believe the build cost is balanced by the low storage capacity. The racks also have a long crafting process. Those draw backs are outweighed by being able to see your weapon and tools.
An alternate weapon rack, for an armory instead of a show room, would be vertical.

This gives you a 1x1x1 rack that holds six tools vertically, three on one side, three on the other, and more importantly, visibly. The tools are held edge out. This rack cannot stack, and cannot wall mount. Holding six tools with horizontal racks costs 30 sticks, while the vertical rack costs 6 sticks. But, the costlier rack holds more in the same floor space. Perhaps the horizontal racks should be three sticks across only, that way holding six tools would cost 18 instead of 30 sticks.
Filled on one side, the vertical rack would look kind of like the image below.
