My sliding spice rack.
This was an invention by my wife for her needs. She wanted an easy to reach, and easy to keep organize spice rack that would be out of the ways once she's done.

So here it is, a sliding spice / storage rack with all the common cooking spices, and sauce...

This was a simple rack made from some left over oak, (date stamped 1975), and cabinettry boards, with oak veneer trims to finish off the lock. The two sliders are single side mounted, but they are very heavy duty sliders, so the mechanism is quite solid.

Tools involved: Miter Saw (optional), Table Saw, Drill, countersink bit, steam iron, squaring clamps.

Material Used: Oak for rails, reused cabinet door for facia, white cabinettry particle boards, oak veneer trims, glue, screws

Time required: Once Material has been sorted out, and acquired, it shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours. Half a day if beer is involved.

Don't undersell yourself Joe, whilst your photography leaves something to be desired, your spice cabinet looks very professional, well done.

Neat Joe, very neat.

After having been tested by my wife for a while now (month or so), its proven to be much better than the separate multi-drawer setup, as non of the items inside jambs up, as they all slide out as one single unit. I must report, its quite functional, and effective.

I just had to post how happy the wife was about it. She affectionately demonstrated her appreciation last night.




I absolutely loved the rack of lamb and tandori chicken she baked using all those herbs and spices from scratch.

I love your sense of humour Joe!

Well done, puts me in mind of one built for a friend.

 

[TwoSkies57]

very well done Joe!!!

did you make use of standard drawer guides?? Do you know the weight rating?

 

[joeboxer]

I think they are rated at 200lbs bb slides intended for heavy duty tool boxes. Picked it up at a surplus store up here in Canada called Princess Auto. I believe Lee Valley Tools would have some equivilant.

 

[TwoSkies57]

Thats about what i was thinking. 200 or so. I've used them on a sliding table that my RAS is mounted on. I removed the leg assembly, mounted the RAS onto a couple slides and slipped the thing into a slot I made in my countertop. Slides in and out as needed, folds away and takes up almost not space at all when not in use.

Best part is, its been down there now better part of 5 years and rolls out today as true as the day I put em on.

Excellent choice of hardware you used.
