Spice Rack 3.0

Standard

Friday, 19-Dec-2025

I’ve been designing more fixtures and tools!

In this case, a neighbor of ours had asked after a new spice rack – I’d shared the design and photos of the rack I’d made for our own kitchen, and was thrilled to have the chance to revise the designs and try out a few new tricks. Expanded alignment pins, clips to help secure the arms, that sort of thing.

So… I did! It went great!

That’s… that’s kind of the whole story. Simple, fun, and a great opportunity to do some more work in Solidworks.

The travails of finding a spice rack

Standard

Fall, 2025

All I wanted was a spice rack.

Just a simple spice rack for the kitchen – not something special, not something bespoke, just a simple place to store my spices and use the vertical space efficiently.

IKEA? Nope, don’t have anything.
Shops nearby? Nope. “What’s a spice rack?”
Charity shops? HahahaNO.
Any stores or Facebook marketplace style things? yeahrightno.

Fine. Fine, you know what? FINE. I’ll make it myself.

So I did.

I measured, I designed, I printed, and I assembled. I was weighed and measured, and my ability and creativity was not found wanting.
