Spice Rack

SteveF · 23 Apr 2018

next project is a basic spice rack
just a set of oak shelves tbh
is there any merit \ point to using fancy joinery?
timber will just be 80mm x 12mm
I could route the sides with 12mmx6mm deep rebates
I could use domino's
or I could just glue and pin

any advice or preferences please?
I will not see the ends

of course there is, it will last forever, and real joints are stronger, domino's are a compromise and it's not joinery, they are just fancy dowels.

There's ALWAYS a point to doing proper joinery. It will look so much better, to start with.

Every project is an opportunity to learn or improve a skill. There’s also the possibility that it will out live you, and someone else will think “whoever made this knew what he was doing”

Just blue tack the pots to the wall, and use the first one that falls off...

:wink:

Rebates and dados are fine for a spice rack, or go the full hog with dovetailed corners and sliding dovetails for the shelves.
