Kitchen
Cabinet Spice Rack
Here
is an extremely simple but useful project - a door mounted
spice rack. The idea is quite simple - mount a rack on the
inside of each door of a kitchen cabinet to make it easier
to see the various spice bottles.
The
unit is made from leftover wood - 1/4 inch thick plywood for
the back, 1/4 inch thick recycled pallette hardwood for all
surfaces. The only thing I bought were two 5/8 inch diameter
dowels that act as retainers for the shelves. Each shelf is
dadoed into the side panels, as is the plywood back. The sides
are notched to fit the door opening (the shelves in the cabinet
fit into the notches). To hold the unit onto the door, I used
two screws below the bottom shelf and two right-angle metal
brackets on the outsides at the top. To give more wood for
the top screws to bite into (as well as to give added strength),
45-degree blocks were glued to the inside of the top two shelf
areas. Everything is asembled with wood glue and given a coat
of green paint.
Here are three views of the spice rack. The first is
just the left unit; the second and third pictures show both units in use.
