Wichman Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 About the spice rack. The newer style spice containers, the round glass ones, do not fit in the spice rack by about 1/4". My fix is that I'm enlarging the pattern by 20% so that all the dimension will be larger and allow the containers to fit. 20% increases the slots to 5/16" so wood that I already have will work. Is this why so few people are not making "functional" items now? Ever changing "standard" sizes, who'd a thunk it. The other item I know changed sizes is the tissue box, On a recent trip to the store I noted 3 different depths of tissue boxes, yet all the patterns that I see only have one size. danny and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I think this is an issue with any pattern. You just enlarge to fit your needs. I just expect it. danny and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I agree it never was one size fits all. I use to make tissue boxes in the 90's and they were all different sizes. How many different candle jars out there. OCtoolguy and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Yepper....Had same Size Issues long ago when I cut a couple for my Wife and Friend. Learned that the Type of Brand they use was a different size than the box was designed for. So like you said.... Measure that type of project first. Love this Village....

I made the first to fit a particular brand. Once I found that having a cover, the no longer mattered. She was buying a "pretty" brand. Lol. Anyway I went out and measured every brand I could find and then altered my pattern to fit the largest box. I'm now saving a ton on tissue.
