This multilayered design with a clear front gets paint bottles up off the bench, moves them closer to eye level, and doesn\u2019t take up much space. You can make it with scrap plywood and clear acrylic. If one rack isn\u2019t big enough, make it larger or make a second rack. I made mine to allow for storage underneath, but you could make it flush on the bottom for a shorter rack. After your rack is built and your paints are organized, get to work on your next spring project like this <a href=\"https:\/\/woodcarving.zeeframes.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/02\/carving-a-realistic-rabbit\/\">realistic-looking bunny<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 853px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 857.5px;\">\n<h3><strong>Making the Paint Rack<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cut the pieces as noted in the Materials List. I used a table saw. Use the drawings to mark the screw locations. Drill 1\/16&#8243; (2mm)-diameter pilot holes for the screws to keep the plywood from splitting. Countersink the holes in the acrylic so the screws sit flush with the surface. Sand all of the pieces so there are no sharp edges. Then, screw the pieces together.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"klaviyo-form-SAmRAs\"><\/div>\n<table style=\"width: 924px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 392.781px;\">\n<h4><strong>Materials<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Plywood, 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) thick: sides,<br \/>\n2 each 7&#8243; x 18 3\/4&#8243; (17.8cm x 47.6cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Plywood, 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) thick: shelf 1, 1 1\/2&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (3.8cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Plywood, 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) thick: shelf 2, 3 1\/8&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (7.9cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Plywood, 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) thick: shelf 3, 4 3\/4&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (12.1cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Plywood, 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) thick: shelf 4 , 6 3\/8&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (16.2cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Tempered hardboard or plywood, 1\/4&#8243; (6mm) thick: back 18 3\/4&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (47.6cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Drywall screws, #8: 3\/4&#8243; (1.9cm) long;<br \/>\n1 5\/8&#8243; (4.1cm) long<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Clear acrylic plastic, such as Plexiglas,<br \/>\n1\/8&#8243; (3mm) thick: top shelves, 4&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (10.2cm x 72.4cm); bottom shelf, 2 1\/4&#8243; x 28 1\/2&#8243; (5.7cm x 72.4cm)<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 535.219px;\">\n<h4><strong>Tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Table saw<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Drill with bits: 1\/16&#8243; (2mm), countersink<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2022 Screwdriver<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 925px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 925px;\"><em>About the Author<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 925px;\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Steve Russell is from Independence, Iowa.
