New Project - Simple Plate Rack

My sweet wife found this plate rack in one of her books, liked it, and showed it to me. I ran across the perfect materials yesterday in a corner of the garage/shop, so I decided to go ahead a throw one together. If we like it, I can always make a more finished piece.


Here's a shot of my Shopsmith set up as a drill press to drill a double row of holes for the dowels that hold the plates. I like the picture because it shows a few other interesting items in the background.


Here are the main parts of the shelf: top, bottom and center shelf on the right; sides and dowels on the left. Not shown is the face trim. I should be able to finish the carcass tomorrow evening and it'll be ready for paint Saturday.
