Was looking for an idea to build a drying rack for herbs and stuff... Found this, what a great plan I will just have trays with mesh instead of doors that I put my stuff on. You never know where the next idea will come from.
That’s awesome! I hope it works out for you. I would maybe consider making the arms much shorter and the middle rib of the frame thicker to help support the weight
A list of the materials and your measurements (not just a tools list) would help those who lack that creative ability to modify. Blueprints help everyone. Thanks for the video and creative ideas! Cheers! 🍻
This is true… However, this project was one I simply did for myself at my shop and I’m not entirely sure what the needs of others might be so I did not include measurements/cut list/materials. However, I may try to write up what I did and post it in the comments then other people could modify it to fit their space as needed. Thanks for the feedback!
Usually I let them dry to where they have begun to cure before flipping them over. Also, I always prime the front and the back that way if the primer gets messed up on the front I can always send it before doing my final prime however I paint the back first then the front so that if there are any issues with the final coat it will be on the backside of the doors or shelves and I can always touch that up with a roller on site.
Have you ever played with having the doors rest on nail heads coming out of the top of each support, rather than the wood itself? I've seen this before and not sure how it compares
I have not, i’m afraid that I would probably end up scratching the doors as I move them… LOL I have them sanded pretty smooth but could probably see them a little bit smoother. They don’t stick to the paint so far and if I’m going to be laying the doors down with the finish side facing down I typically tape over it.
HEY, just an update... I just did 50 serving boards at once and i took 48" pieces of scrap .75" plywood and ran 1.75" brad nails up through the bottom, 4 for each board. I then stacked the plywood strips on my rack and as I oiled each board I put each one on the nails to dry and it worked amazingly! They were really only "One time use" jigs, but they worked really well. there was no nail marks and the boards dried beautifully!
I just used mine for some floating shelves and cutting boards, it can hold a good amount of weight, just make sure to evenly distribute the weight or it may topple over. Also, make sure to GLUE each strip when screwing. I didn’t initially, and they wore themselves loose over time.

I wish there was a good place to get lumber. There is nothing near Orlando FL. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!!!
Thanks!!! And yeah, I knew two good places near Tampa... but not in Orlando...🤔

Time to get more projects with doors! :)
Ha ha. I’ve got too many as is!
how do you prevent cabinets sticking to the wood after painting?

How much weight do you think it can hold??
I just used mine for some floating shelves and cutting boards, it can hold a good amount of weight, just make sure to evenly distribute the weight or it may topple over. Also, make sure to GLUE each strip when screwing. I didn’t initially, and they wore themselves loose over time.
Keeping it real with the Diet Coke on the bench!
You KNOW it!
