Hi Ken

My wife is a collector of plates and plates and plates and plates she is now into Elvis plates , that hang all over the walls LOL , I have made many racks for them out of 3/8" and 1/2" Walnut because it's strong and stable for it's size and with a clear coat wipe on poly. it's beautiful wood with a clear coat on it.

Hi Ken

The display/holder is not a very stable plate holder they get knocked off the table easy, just ask my boss, the wall rack with a slot for the plate will keep the plates safe, and with a key hole slot on the sides they are easy to hang on the wall .. plus a good spot to hang cups under the shelf .

If you want to see a snapshot or two just ask and I will post one.

Just for kicks here's some snapshots
see below ▼

SORRY about the snapshots ,( not sharp and clean) the boss has the good cam. with her on a Caribbean cruise and to the Sea islands.

Hi Ken

I put in one long slot from end to end and stop short of the ends about 2 1/2" from ea.end.
And from 3/4" to 1 1/4" from the back edge.
And about 5/16" to 3/8" deep on the slots.
You just don't know for sure what size plates she will put on it.
Some of them are 2 1/2' deep,(platters)
I also use blind siding dovetails to hold the sheft(s) in place in that way the boss can take them down or put them up easy unlike the ones that are glued up with brass hanger clips.

Round Nose Bits, #6444 and the #6445
or
Core Box Bits 3/8" or 1/2"

Just a note about (key slot bit ) the best one I have found is the one at HomeDepot
in the clear plastic box and is painted yellow. if I recall it was about 12.oo bucks.
I have cooked about 6 of them making T-SLots in MDF. takes a pass or two to make the T-slots.

Hi Ken

Below you will see a link to the one I use, they work great for many router jobs like T-Slots.
It will put in a 1/2" wide hole and a 5/16" wide slot

I could not get the link to work, but see the snapshot below. ▼

Unplug ELVIS huuummmm I don't think so, that's like if I unplug the phone and when it rings ELVIS starts to sing a song and when the clock hits the hour I get a little Elvis tune in back ground and If I use her car and change the radio off the Elvis station I'm in deep #[email protected]#[email protected] if I forget to put it back on channel 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as you can she like Elvis and I do also but not all the time.
