Spice Rack

I have hated my spice cupboard for several years. It is just too small. I just don't have anywhere else to put them though. They are on the three shelves to the right of my stove. It is getting to the point I have to half empty it to find what I want. About a month before Christmas I saw a brilliant idea on Pintrest. It was for a slick rack that you could put between you fridge and counter. I wanted it!

I tried really hard to get one of my guys to make it for Christmas. My DH told me flat out no. He is a type 4 personality. If he can't do it perfect, he doesn't want to do it. I think the boys just thought it would be too hard. When none of them would agree to make it, I told them to just get me a gift card for Lowes or Home Depot. I decided I would do it myself. It is basically a bookshelf with a few dowels thrown in.

My DS2 gave me a $50 Lowes card for Christmas. Up until now it has been too cold outside or I haven't had time. Since Cracker Barrel wants me working Valentines weekend, I switched my regular with it. I didn't have to go shopping either. Free Saturday. I don't get many of those.

Here I am figuring out the shelves. I had made a plan with figures, but had to revise. I was using 1 x 4's. They were not 1". More like 3/4". Threw my math off and I had to refigure.

Once I got the places for the shelves marked and the dowel placement marked I clamped them together and used the drill. I pre drilled all the holes for the nails to make it easier in me. I clamped them together to make sure the sides matched.
BTW, just as a side note, I've done enough wood projects that I really want a pair if saw horses ans a circular saw. Crazy huh?

This is the frame put together.

This is after I added the backing and the handle. I was really glad that I had waited on the backing until the frame was together. With my math changing the back would have been the wrong size and I would have been ticked.

Here is the completed project. With dowels in place and the caster wheels so it will pull out. No all I have to do is find time to paint it.
