It's all Nolaegghead's fault

Eggcelsior

@nolaegghead sent me some New Orleans goodies including Tony Cacheres, assorted sauces, beignet mix, and some much needed computer adapters. Many thanks!

Anyway, SWMBO saw the box and said "that's it! You're finally building that spice rack!" So, after 2 hours of work and 30 bucks later...

Voilà!



Even worse, SWMBO likes it so much I'm now tasked to build some shelves and a liquor cabinet/bar.

Thanks Nola!

Neat, nice job!

nolaegghead

My pleasure.   I did the obligatory KY search zooming in on the picture above and I'm happy to say you passed.

nolaegghead

So you made it?  Did you check and make sure the door closes? 

Eggcelsior

Yup. I have 7 inches of clearance and the rack is 4 inches deep.

nolaegghead

Measuring and using motherf*ckin' math n sh*t!  I'm impressed.

I need to make more of that kinda stuff, we're long out of storage space.

Nice work.  I love to add Tonys to my french fries before throwing them in the oven.

How did you secure it to the door?

Cool

I need to do that. Right now all my rubs/spices are on lazy susans, which makes it a pain to find the one you want.

I wish @nolaegghead would send me some stuff so @eggcelsior would build me a spice rack.

Looks like standard Phillips wood screw - maybe they are solid doors.....?

I wish. These are POS hollow core doors, much like anything you get today unless customizing.

@Egghead_Daron, I used hollow-core door anchors(They look like drywall anchors). I ran 2 inch screws through the rack into the anchor. I leveled the rack on a chair and drilled through the rack into the door for guide holes(the wood is white board so I wasn't worried about splitting).

Here are the anchors:

Awesome! Thanks for the idea!

sh!t is his biz... day in, day out

That's a nice spice rack. I've run out of room with mine. May be time to steal your idea.

nolaegghead

Trust me, you'll never have enough room.  Build more spice racks and you'll just accumulate more and more spices.....

@nolaegghead, what did joinery did you use? I just pocket holed mine but I want something cleaner if out in the open. I'm thinking dado or M&T. This woodworking thing is an evil virus, I fear.

@Eggcelsior - that looks great!

nolaegghead

@eggcelsior - I just used a rabbet for the back and tacked it in with some brads, no glue (expansion).  The shelves are held in by floating tenons (Festool Domino) and the top and bottom are just butt joints with countersunk Kregg screws and filled with plugs.  I wanted them to be seen. 

Next ones I make (yes, I need more storage), I'll probably do sliding dovetails for the shelves and a through dovetail for the tops and bottom.  I have an Incra rig on my router table that makes those easy.

You can buy a dowel guide and use dowels and keep everything hidden, plus it's fast and easy.

@henapple‌ - you've put on some weight, buddy.

Too much bacon. . .

Eggcelsior

Mmm... Mmmmm. @henapple is just a muscly armed paperboy bringing me the good news.


You like popsicles? I gotta whole mess of popsicles down in my cellar.
