Pantry Organizers

[gee-dub]

I'm sticking this under General Woodworking since it is pretty general in nature.  I am taking up the time between big steps of my current project to make LOML happy.  Part of a recent remodel is an increased size for the pantry.  She wanted some corrals or organizers for the many random things that go into the staples of our food-making life.  Te fixtures are scaled so that if there is ever a need, they can be lined up five fixtures wide.  More realistically they will be placed randomly around the shelving units.

 

I have some scrounged 1/4" MDF that I have been burning up for such things.  With a little care the material can be made to be reasonably visually pleasing.  I use the sled to cut out one of the angled pieces.

This givs me a template to cut out al the rest.

I can't believe how much use I've gotten out of this template sled.

Parts is parts.

I shellac the interior surfaces excluding those to be glued.

I will carry on tomorrow . . . . its time for dinner.

OK, that didn't take long. The mini-bot glue bottle really allows you to put small amounts of glue where you want them.

I ended up using a planing stop, a couple of bench blades, and some tape-wrapped scraps left over from something in order to clamp things.

I used some 23 gauge pins along with the glue to help me move along. I end up here.

And in use it looks like so.

These will replace the cut up coffee boxes you see to the left and right of the new fixture.

Nice organizers, @gee-dub. Hard to judge the size accurately, are they suitable to lift and carry away from the shelf? Maybe they are too heavy, bit I was  wondering if a tray-style hand-hold cut into each end would have any benefit.

Nice project!

Hopefully your Stater Bros is better than the one we shopped at when we lived in SoCal. They were notorious for throwing canned food on top of fruit and vegetables when bagging.
