Knife and Spice Rack
Want to make your kitchen look open, spacious, and inviting? Here's a tip: Clear off the countertops. It's amazing what reducing the appearance of clutter will do.
Okay, but what do you do with all that stuff? It's on the countertop because you need it and use it. This is where our unique Knife and Spice Rack comes in. This rack installs in a kitchen wall cabinet. The knife rack holds six knives. The spice rack has four shelves. Build one rack or both.
The racks themselves are like drawers mounted vertically rather than horizontally. They pull out and back on shop-made wooden slides. The parts are cut to size and screwed together — no tricky joinery. But you'll need a router table to make the slides.
Overall dimensions: 4-1/4" wide x 10-1/4" deep x 17-1/2" high (each)
