Simple and Cheap Spice Rack

This spice rack is very easy to build. All you need is a board and some pieces of scrap wood.

• Difficulty: easy
• Time to made: 2-4 hours
• Costs: < 10$

Material:

• 1 board
• several pieces of scrap wood
• screws
• wood glue
• linseed oil

Tools I used:

• table saw
• edge sander
• random orbit sander
• cordless drill

Step 1: Sawing the Wood

I cut a 3 layer pine wood board with a rail saw into the right size

and many of little pieces of scrap wood.

Step 2: Sanding

The small pieces were sanded with a edge sander and the board with a random orbit sander.

Step 3: Setup

I played around with all this little pieces, to find a good solution.

Step 4: Assembling

For a bigger piece I drilled two holes, screwed it on with a the first screw, check the squareness, made little corrections and then I screwed the second screw in.

For a small piece, I drilled only one hole and add a drop of wood glue on it.

Step 5: Hidden Mounting Holes

Two rectangular pieces got only one screw. So you can turn them. Under these pieces are the mounting holes.

Step 6: Finish

I added some layers of linseed oil and after one hour I wiped off the excess
