Regain space in your cabinets that is not efficiently used and organize your spices. In this video, I show how I build these custom spice racks to free up space and control the spicy takeover of our kitchen.
I have been looking for over a year on the best way to do it. Your is the first one that didn't have metal brackets (Idk what they are called, I'm new at woodworking, etc) some of the prices just for those metal things were around $70. This to me seems so much more affordable. I just don't think I have the tools to do so. When there is a will, there is a way.
I think, in general, this is a very cool build. The only issue I see is that, to access any of these, the counter beneath must be empty or at least severely limited in what can be placed beneath for clearance. Looks like there's maybe 8" of room or so behind it when it swings down, and maybe 4" or so beneath it. As someone who loves to cook, I don't know of a kitchen for anyone who needs this many spices that doesn't also have fairly loaded counters. Mixers, food processors, slow cooker, canisters, knife block, etc. And as someone who frequently cooks "on the fly" I can't imagine needing a spice while in process and having to stop and clear space so I can access something I need in a hurry. Again, I think the ingenuity of the design is great. I just don't know that the application solves a larger issue than it creates. JMO
I appreciate your feedback. You raise a valid point. Now that I have had these installed for a while, I find that I rarely have them hanging down. I tend to slide them out like a drawer, angle them slightly, grab my spice and slide them back in. That procedure allows me to utilize them when the counter is cluttered.
@@budsworkshop @budsworkshop I can definitely see it working that way. I've been trying to come up with a design that allows me to access quickly, but still keeps it out of the way. If I ever get there, I'll let you know! Lol
I did not make the shelf removable. It is glued into the sides and the back to avoid any sagging. A slight design change would be needed to make it removable.
No sorry. I do not create plans, I build as I go. These were custom to fit my specific cabinets. Feel free to message me if you have specific questions and I would be happy to help however I can.
THen you can do a video on it...and potentially get them to sponsor you...And you can add a riving knife and anti kick back pawls and blade cover...you can make a 3 part safety series...Trust me...this is your call from Jesus moment...you'll be safe and get 3 new videos...and potential sponsors!@@budsworkshop
bud, do you have a set of plans available? I'm aware different sizes of cabinets will change the dimensions, but the overall plan should be the same, right?
Nice idea... gives me some thoughts on how I want to do something similar under a corner cabinet, with it's mostly dead space for me. Perhaps a double stacked set. I too hate digging through my cabinet's spice shelf trying to find what I want without knocking them all over and falling out.
