Project Information
With large dinner plates, I did not like the idea of them stacked on top of one another. Why? Too easily chipped or scratched when taking them out or putting them away. So I made a shelf that separates the 4 dinner plates we have.
I had some narrow strips of cedar that were the perfect height for a single shelf to separate a pate on the bottom of the cabinet from the one that would be placed on top of it. Now I als happened to have some 1/8" sanded plywood. I rabbet cut the upper edge of the cedar siding and glued in the plywood. I then cut and installed two more shelves on top of this one. I had a choice to glue up the sides first and then cut a slot for the two lower shelves and rabbet the top shelf in or build separate units and attach them later.
Anyway, the end result is exactly what I set out to accomplish, keep the plates separated. And it looks a whole lot nicer than some store-bought wire rack deal.
I just added a picture to provide some cabinet shelf height perspective…
Peace,
