Spice Rack for 40mm Jars

I loved Hana's design. it's very elegant. Unfortunately Czech spice jars are much bigger than the ones we use in Australia.

Being smaller jars, I don't think we need the middle support and I reckon we could get away with 6mm dowels. Using a single dowel size is easier to shop for and reduce waste.

My Spice Rack

I bought 1* 8mm x 2.4m & 1* 6mm x 2.4m dowels, cut them into 400mm pieces to create 3 racks.

They hold 9 jars with room leftover. The bracket will take up to 10mm of dowel. So for a perfectly snug fit you would want to cut your dowels at 380mm

Improvements

After mounting my first design, I thought I'd make a couple of improvements and share them to the community.

- Changed the 6mm dowel hole from 6.4mm to 6.2mm - Increased the height of both rails slightly for more stability. Hopefully leaving enough gap to read the labels on each jar. - Created a middle support piece - Created a 6mm only version These have not been printed, and at this stage I don't think I need another rack.

I would suggest printing the 6mm version, let me know how it goes. If you don't want to be a guinea pig then choose the ‘printed’ version
