I love the tape depth stop trick for the dado. Gonna remember that one.
Thank you! Excellent instruction.
I was asked to make a spuce rack earlier today. So great timing for me. Thanks.
Great job. Maybe when we get to the kitchen remodel. I like my spices out so I can see the instead of in the cabinet.
superb, I made one like this a few months back, minus sliding dove tails just a rabbet ;)
I like the chamfer detail on the sides. I hadn't thought about cutting it to the thickness of crosspieces, but I really like how that came out.
6:15 The cut down the middle is something I wish I had known about before I had to figure that out by myself!#
I like the finish too.
(Disclosure: I got an oak table a couple of years back that had had the original finish stripped off and replaced by boiled linseed oil. Seriously unsymathetic stuff, but you can use detergent and wasm water to wash it off if it hasn't fully polymerised. Give it a shower or two and let it dry.)
Looks great, thanks for sharing
Amazing, James! It really looks beautiful in there! 😃
Thanks for all the tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very nice! I had a very similar idea 5 months ago. I didn't add the front rail and mine was just glue and brad nails.
looks awesome, James! Guess with my cooking style (I am a salt-pepper type of cook) the rack would be a bit smaller!
I built a spice rack for my wife that showed the wisdom of sizing based on real objects. Th construction was straightforward: dados and rabbets, dowels to pin everything together, and through dowels to hold everything in place. I carefully measured everything, including the height needed to tip the tallest containers out. I disappeared into the shop and came out with a nicely constructed rack. Hung it using a French cleat and invited my wife to fill it up. “They don’t fit.”, my wife said. “Wha-a-t????” “The tall ones don’t fit.” Turns out I wrote down the wrong number for my measurement. Had I taken a bottle into the shop and made my mark directly from it this would not have happened. Back to the shop the next day, this time with bottle in hand. I remade the shelf. This time I had to use oak for the dowels because I had no more walnut ( none I wanted to use for more dowels) The second set came together well, and all the bottles fit. It just lacks that extra touch added with the walnut dowels. I cut the through dowels off and the shelf hang in my shop holding joinery planes to remind me that real objects are better than numbers for getting the size of projects right.
thank you
We probably all built one of these in school years ago....... but this is much nicer 😁
You probably have years worth of videos planned to make; but I was searching for ways to make tambour doors by hand and couldnt find what I was lookin for....... might be a fun video for you to make someday James 😁 cutting the groove for it to run in would be hard enough, but I can already here your voice sayin "just carve it" 🤣
Looks great!! But cramped!! Behind that door.
It is always fun working with the space you have.
That is a beautiful spice rack! What would make it even better - ok, I am being selfish as I want to do this myself and would love to see someone I respect so much do it first :) - would be to make a spice rack that slides out (perpendicular to the front of the cabinet).
I wanted to do that with this one. Unfortunately there wasn't quite enough space between the wall and the cabinet for the spice bottles.
Very good one!
Can you also make Spiceps?
4:46 you must have been really fast with the frame saw when resawing the hickory, judging from the burn marks! 😁
Any particular reason that you used a sash saw for the dovetail mortises? or was it just to test the (apparently) new saw? 🙂I've never seen you use a sash saw before I think!
Lol. Got to love that demon possessed circular cutting device in the garage.
And yes that's a new saw I've been putting through its faces.
When you use boiled linseed oil you should make more than one coating it's one of the most protective oils you can apply to wood my cabinet is only oiled with it I make 6 coats and it already holds for 9 years
It's also next to impossible when you only have a weekend to make something :D So most of my own furniture is one coat of BLO and then shellack on top for a bit of durability.
Boil linse oil is not a very protective coating. You can build up coats if you let it cure in between if that's a common way to do it with gun stocks, but it takes weeks to months to do that, right. I generally use boiled linseed oil for the color or for anything that's going to be in my hand regularly.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo if you heat it up to 80°C before coating the wood and the wood is warm too you can shorten the waiting period between coats to 24 hours
Would it be much harder to make the sliding dovetails stopped?
Stopped sliding dovetails are about twice the work. But not that much more difficult. Just more chisel time
My kitchen is too tight for something like this. I might be able to get away with a free standing variant though. Good times.
Did you use the “demon powered saw”?
Lol yeah that scrap got ripped off on a table. Saw a while ago.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo lol, i saw the burn marks…
Loved those manual tools! You can feel the wood talking to you as you scrape and chisel and file it into form.
How do you keep these beautiful tool blades sharpened up? I'd love to see a sharpening video.
With regard to finishing the wood, here I have some experience I will pass on ...
Boiled Linseed Oil conditioning soak is excellent. I use this 95% of the time except 5% when I am staining. Sometimes, I use BLO first, wipe off, then stain right away for a light golden stain. After wiping off excess BLO /stain, I let it dry for 1-2 days in hot sun or dry indoors.
Instead of costly Wipe On Poly, use regular Polyurethane and cut it with Mineral Spirits. Store some in a jar and use that. That is what Wipe On Poly is. Same thing, cheaper cost. When storing in a jar, pick a size jar that is filled to top. Any large air gap and it hardens up inside. Ditto for any kind of paint product.
I use Varathane Oil Based Clear Interior Satin Polyurethane. I cut with Paint Thinner or Mineral Spirits.
For a very hand rubbed finish, use Poly 60 : 40 Mineral Spirits. This soaks it in completely, hardening the wood. You will need 3 coats, wiping off excess 15 mins after application, and letting dry completely. Light coating of wax after this is perfect. You can still feel the wood grain, but wood is sealed from drying out, moisture, stains, etc.
For a more robust finish, go 50:50. After 10 - 15 mins, wipe off excess with paper towels. Its more to evenly smear the finish while still wet but not sticky, than a wipe off. No drips, craters from bubbles, dust on top, etc. This leaves a thin film on top, great for furniture and table tops, desks, and pieces that get used a lot. I never use it straight out of can for anything. Its way too thick and gooey.
fyi - Less talking would be more Zen. Keep it minimal. A picture is worth a thousand words.
I disagree with the use of plastic anchors. They should never, ever be used for anything at all,. Worst invention and a quick fix.
Screw on a furring strip to the wall studs and mount on that instead. Sooner or later those anchors will fail and this will sag or crash. I'm surprised that a fine woodworker like yourself using traditional tools would lower yourself to plastic anchors, yuck!
Loved just hearing the sounds of the wood, with no background music, very nice. Finished spice rack is very beautiful, bravo!
By the way, try making a Creole (not Cajun) spice rub for all your meat and fish. Excellent. And remember if you are making Indian food, always buy whole spices like cumin, coriander, dry roast a bit, then grind in a coffee grinder. What fragrance!
Thanks. I have a pile of videos on sharpening each of these. I even did a live about a year ago when I went through almost all the tools and sharpened them in real time. If you want videos without the talking I have a whole nother channel for that. This channel is for teaching.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Good to know, I'll look up those videos. No, you do need to talk and explain the process. But if you sit back and listen, its over explained. A bit less would go further.
then you would really like the other channel. I made the two channels as different people like it different ways. ua-cam.com/users/WoodWright?app=desktop
Great project, but not sure it's for beginners. Better done by a well seasoned wood worker.
There is not much to this one. The dovetails may not look amazing as a beginner but they will be functional.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I think you missed standswithfish's joke. However, you offer sage advice and just in thyme for my kitchen projects.
