Kitchen Island Topper
itchen Island Topper
We love this great island topper. It keeps everyday china accessible—plates for
sandwiches or bowls for morning cereal—and it frees up lots of kitchen cabinet space. When we
moved into a new house, we hung it from the ceiling over the kitchen island, which then freed up
island space.

Making the Plate Rack
1. Cut four Rack Supports (A) from 1 x 1 pine, each measuring 22-1/2 inches.
2. Holes must be drilled in each of the four Rack Supports (A) to accommodate the dowel rods
that hold the plates. It is very important that the holes are accurate and straight, or your
finished plate rack will be crooked. Refer to the measurements in Figure 1 , and drill nine
3/8”-diameter holes in one Rack Support (A). Note that the holes are centered widthwise
on the Rack Support (A), and 2-1/4 inches apart on center.

3. Use the drilled Rack Support (A) as a template to drill holes in each of the remaining three
Rack Supports (A).
4. Cut 18 Rack Rods (B) from 3/8”-diameter dowel rod, each measuring 14 inches.
5. Place one Rack Support (A), with holes up, on a flat surface. Apply glue to one Rack Rod
(B), and insert it in the first hole in the Rack Support (A). Make certain that the Rack Rod
(B) is completely through the hole, and flush with the bottom surface of the Rack Support
(A).
6. Repeat Step 5 eight more times to insert eight more Rack Rods (B) in the first Rack Support
(A). Let the glue set up for several hours.
7. Place a second Rack Support (A) on a level surface. Turn the Rack Rod/Support assembly
upside-down, Apply glue to the exposed ends of each of the Rack Rods (B), and insert them
in the corresponding holes in the second Rack Support (A) to form a ladder arrangement, as
shown in Figure 2 .
8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to assemble the second rack assembly, using the remaining nine
Rack Rods (B), and remaining Rack Supports (A).
Assembling the Shelf Sections
1. Cut two Inner Verticals (C) from 1 x 10 pine, each measuring 14 inches.
2. Cut two Shelves (D) from 1 x 10 pine, each measuring 11-3/4 inches.
3. Cut four Shelf Supports (E) from 2 x 2 pine, each measuring 14 inches.
4. An optional step at this point is to cut two 1/8 x 1/8” grooves on all four sides of each Shelf
Support (E).
5. Place one Shelf (D) on a flat surface. Refer to Figure 3 to mark the cutout to accommodate
a Shelf Support (E) in the two outer corners of the Shelf (D). Place the end of one Shelf
Support (E) exactly in place, and trace around it. Remove the Shelf Support (E), and cut
out each of the two corners, which you marked in the Shelf (D).

6. Repeat Step 5 to cut out the corners on the remaining Shelf (D).
7. Place one Inner Vertical (C) on edge, on a flat surface. Center the Shelf (D) over the Inner
Vertical (C), with the cutouts facing up, as shown in Figure 4 . Apply glue to the meeting
surfaces, and screw through the Inner Vertical (C) into the edge of the Shelf (D), using four
1-5/8” screws.

Cutting the Top and Bottoms
1. Cut two Inner Top/Bottoms (F) from 1 x 10 pine each measuring 47-1/2 inches.
2. Cut two Top/Bottoms (G) from 1 x 12 pine, each measuring 49-1/2 inches.
3. An optional step at this point is to use a router and a round-over bit to finish the edges of
each of the two Top/Bottoms (G).
Assembly
1. Place the two Inner Top/Bottoms (F) on edge on a level surface, parallel to each other and
14 inches apart. Fit one rack/rod assembly (centered lengthwise) between the two Inner
Top/Bottoms (F), as shown in Figure 5 . Place one shelf assembly on each end of the
centered rack/rod assembly. Apply glue to the meeting surfaces, clamp the assembly
together to hold it in position, and screw through the Inner Verticals (C) into the ends of the
rack/rod assemblies, using a 1-5/8” screw on each joint.
2. Apply glue to the meeting surfaces, and screw through the Inner Top/Bottoms (F) into the
edge of each Inner Vertical (C), using three 1-5/8” screws on each joint.
3. Apply glue to the meeting surfaces, and fit the Shelf Supports (E) between the Inner
Top/Bottoms (F), and into the cutout corners of the Shelves (D). Screw through the Inner
Top/Bottoms (F) into the ends of each Shelf Support (E), using a 1-5/8” screw on each
joint.
