2. Design and Planning Your Organizer

Advertisements

Before making a single cut, plan your design. Consider the number and sizes of your cooling racks, as well as where the organizer will live—inside a deep drawer, on a shelf, or on the counter.

1. Measure Your Cooling Racks

Measure the length, width, and thickness of each rack. Note the largest dimensions. The slots in your organizer must be slightly wider than the thickest rack and tall enough to accommodate the longest one without tipping.

2. Determine Slot Width and Spacing

A slot width of about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch is usually sufficient for most wire racks. Space the divider walls 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch apart to allow easy insertion and removal without being too wobbly.

3. Choose a Configuration

The simplest design is a rectangular box with vertical dividers. Decide on the outer dimensions: the base (length and width) and the height of the side walls. The side wall height should be at least half the length of your longest rack for stability.

4. Sketch a Cutting Plan

Draw a simple diagram listing all pieces: one base, two long sides, two short ends, and the internal dividers. Calculate the exact lengths based on your design to minimize waste from your wood board.

Flight attendants share their most memorable travel experiences

When you get up to the security area, it's important to follow all the steps as prescribed. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck there forever doing and redoing the process as the agents try to figure out if you're hiding something. Still, we've never got the process this wrong, and we can't understand how this guy even got into this position. How does one get stuck in an X-Ray machine for luggage without any personnel noticing? You can't have any liquids larger than three ounces on the flight, so we have a feeling this guy's body set the scanners off.
