Simple DIY 5-part spice shelf from scrap wood

Spice Rack

I offer you a shelf of a very simple design, consisting of just five parts.

The reason for making it was that I had accumulated a large number of baby-food jars. The shelf is designed to hold five jars, although their number can be increased or decreased by changing the dimensions of the corresponding parts. In addition, the shelf can be used to store various household chemicals in aerosol packaging with a diameter of less than 60 mm, or you can make a set of such shelves for spices in any containers.

Spice shelf:
1 — side wall; 2 — base; 3 — guard rail; 4 — rear strip.

As material I used boards from wooden fruit crates, previously sanded with sandpaper and thoroughly dried. The parts are joined either with screws 1.6 mm in diameter or with pins made from matches. The matches (with the heads removed) are coated with PVA or wood glue and fixed in pre-drilled holes. After assembly, the shelf is coated with furniture lacquer NC-288 and fastened to the wall with two screws.
