Hi friends.
After making the large revolving rack for storing my distress ink pads, I knew that I also wanted to make storage for other inks that I have, since they were being stored in places not very accessible. So, using the same method I used for building the other rack, I made four more smaller racks that fit my other ink pads. Since these were not all the same size, I made them to fit groups of similar ink pads. Which means they are different sizes. But I moved my ribbon, so I could put these in a place easy to reach.
The upper left unit holds archival and a couple other Adirondack inks, VersaMark, Encore, and Fabrico inks. Lower left holds Brilliance and Stazon inks. Upper right holds ColorBox pigment inks. Lower right holds ColorBox Chalk inks and a few thicker pigment inks.
I do have some Kaleidacolor inks, but haven't decided yet if I will make a unit for those. I probably will.
My Stampin' Up ink pads, refills, and markers are stored in a wooden revolving rack that I won years ago. However, I have more inks than fit in it, so I'm planning to make a small rack (or more than one) to fit on top of that revolving unit to hold those extra inks.
While in the process of all this building, I also made a couple of boxes to hold some things. I have a stand that I wanted to make some open boxes for.
There are ridges near the center and the center post, so I needed to work around those. I made 4 parts for each shelf, but because of the angles involved, and the chipboard is thicker than I usually work with, they were a little too big, and didn't fit. So I glued them together where the angles meet, added a bottom piece and made these instead.
I don't know how to figure the angles, so it was mostly guesswork. They are not perfect, not fancy, and not pretty, but will work to hold something. I haven't quite decided what yet. I will probably try again to make something that fits, but not this design. I know I can add a filler and just build on top of the ridges, which would make it much easier, so I may do that.
Thanks so much for taking time to visit today. Stay safe and be blessed.
