    File/grind them to points, then put brass discs under, if you've got hardwoods.

    This is what I did as well. Used a bench grinder and was surprised at the results. Another option would be to cap them off with acorn nuts. Not quite as fine a point as grinding, but much easier.

    I've done that as well, but I ground the acorn to get more of a point- was definitely not cool when one popped out of my vice grips and went flying around the garage.

    If you don't like the look of exposed all thread, just cut some tube to the lengths required and slide it over the all thread. You can get tube in just about any material desired, brass, stainless, anodized alum, etc.

    I really like the looks of these racks. I may have to give this a try myself. Why wouldn't you use furniture grade plywood instead of MDF and veneer? You would have to use something like Badit or a veneer on the edges but cut it, drill holes, stain it and put it together and you're done.
