building plans for a 6-shelf rack

[tttaylorrr]

i think your measurements for the shelf height is off. those Iris tubs are probably 6" tall w/ the lid on. besides i think a 1/4" gap is way too big. i would go 1/8 at most and would rather add holes to a tub, rather than having the gap to wide. i would find the actual Iris tub and measure it in person for spot on accuracy.

very good points. i should get my hands on the tub i wana use; good idea.

if u really wanna cut a groove for the heat tape, use a router w/ a jig that gives u precise depth and width for the heat tape. or use table saw w/ dado blades. your dad would know. if u wanna snake 1 long piece of heat tape through each shelf, u will need to add cuts to the left and/or right side of each shelf.

my dad's buddy has a table saw that we can probably use, and my dad would most likely be making the cuts hahaha. and i totally forgot about the cuts for the heat tape; DOH! thank you for reminding me!

back to the drawing board!
