Insert the glued end of the dowel into the hole in the side piece, pushing it from the inside out, so that the end of the dowel is flush with the outside face of the side piece. Secure the side piece with several 1-inch brads driven through the side and into the edge of the back panel use a nail set to sink the heads of the brads below the surface of the wood.Īpply a drop or two of hide glue around one end of the dowel, on the turned surface and not on the cut end. Fit a side piece into the notch, with the drilled hole at the opposite top corner and the edges of the side piece flush with the back face and bottom edge of the back panel.
To assemble the spice rack, apply hide glue to the cutout edges, on one notched side of the back panel. Finally, measure and cut a piece of 1/4-inch dowel to the exact length of the untrimmed top of the back piece.
Then, being careful to cut within the traced outlines, cut out the marked corners of the back piece. Repeat this procedure to outline the other side piece on the back. Carefully outline the back edge of the side piece on the back panel this outlined area will be cut out so that the side piece fits smoothly into the side of the back piece. With the back panel laid flat, butt the back edge of one side piece against one side of the back panel, with the bottom edge of the side piece flush with the bottom edge of the back. Measure and mark a plywood back panel 1/4 inch longer than the bottom piece and 3 to 5 inches higher than the side pieces cut it out carefully. The corners with the drilled holes are the top front corners of the side pieces. Carefully drill a 1/4-inch hole through the second side piece so that it exactly matches the first one. Set this piece on top of the other side piece and use it as a template to mark a matching hole. Cut the side pieces carefully, making sure that their corners are square and that the two pieces are exactly alike.ĭrill a 1/4-inch hole at one corner of one of the side pieces, evenly spaced from the two sides of the corner. Measure and mark the two side pieces of the rack, exactly as wide as the bottom piece and high enough to accommodate the spice containers, either square or rectangular. Cut the panel out carefully with a handsaw or a saber saw. Measure and mark the bottom panel on a piece of plywood, with the grain running the length of the shelf use a carpenters' square and a straightedge to keep your marks even. To make the rack, use your measured dimensions.

Use 3/8-inch grade A-B or furniture-grade plywood for a professional finish. Line up the tins or bottles you want to display and measure them for the length, height, and depth the rack should be.
