Pine Plate Rack

Beautiful work as always Phil. Do you make templates to rack (pardon the pun) these pieces out in quantity? Thanks for sharing.

Phil -

Very nice work!

I can understand the missing projects. I have made a few things to show other people and before I know it I have put it to use somewhere in the house.

Yes I use masonite templates for large runs, jigs to hold the shelves in place to fasten to the sides, and different patterns to cut out the hearts. Because the shelves dont come out to the front edges, and blind dadoes being too much work to incorporate into the sale price, I just fasten the shelves with glue and finish nails(then), now brads from the air nailer.

Cool piece Phil. What is the stain color(s)? It is a great looking pattern. If you don’t make them in quantity, maybe you should.

Debbie, my wife just asked me this morning for a roll of copper sheeting to go on the inside of a potatoe/onion bin she’s finishing. I said potaoes dont deserve $300 worth of copper. She says “I”m worth it”. It took a while but she finally agreed to use thin aluminum sheet that I use for punched tin panels on reproduction pie safes. “Whew”, that was close.

Phil, Mate, love your work. I particularly like this one. My wife and I were married in 1963 and our first purchase was a plate rack almost exactly like this one. We decorated out first place in Early American. we still have this and it hangs in my office where she displays some of her favorite glassware.

PanamaJack, the light one is puritan pine by minwax, the dark one with it is puritan pine, a layer of clear sealer, then a layer of special walnut with a touch of red mahogany mixed in.
The imbeded photo is special walnut with no clearcoat.

Hi Don, thanks. These are fun to make and well received.

P.S. Can anyone help me with getting the imbedded photos to the right size. Most of my pics are old photos scanned and posted. I cant seem to get them to the right viewing size.

Phil,

have a good day,

Pierre, I use the shelf scrollwork pattern on the bottoms of furniture as well for a nice look.

phil, I think Niki stated the required size in a recent posting. Not sure where to find that though

I never told a guy he had a nice rack before. :-)

Very nice design and rack. I would of used one of these as pictured instead of the plates since stuff but no plates.

I asked Niki. and the size should be 530×398
Hope that helps.

Now there’s a great idea Dianne. We have small canvases all over the house, on the walls, leaning up on furniture. I should make a couple and let my wife “steal” them to display those small paintings.

Thanks Debbie for the photo help. I’ll give it a try.

Charlie, are you a hunter- nice rack, LOL. I have a black lacquered gun rack I’ll post tommorrow. Gotta jump in the big rig.
