Something to check for square, i have Rockler's corner clamps.
How to do this project
1
After determining the dimensions you want cut the 1x4 pieces. I made my sides about 22 inches, and my shelves 16 inches. I planned on 4 1/2 inches between each shelf to fit most spice jars.
2
Cut dadoes in the side. I used my table saw. I don't have a dado blade so I just made multiple passes through the wood. I measured to make the dadoes half the width of the sides.
3
Cut the top (the 1x6) to length to accommodate the width of the Roman ogee cut. Mine is 3/4". You have to measure the width of the shelves plus half the width of the sides plus the router bit cut depth.
4
Cut three sides of the top on the router.
5
Stain everything
6
Put the sides and shelves together, making sure it's square. I used screws to attach everything.
7
For the back, I split some 1x4 on my band saw just to make it lighter, but you don't have to. I've made 3 of these now and I didn't split them on the first one. Attach the back pieces to the sides and shelves with screws.
8
Measure the depth of the shelf and trim the top to the right size.
9
Attach the top.
10
Attach whatever hooks on the back you prefer to mount it on the wall.
