SpiceFORGE

A spice pullout with adjustable shelves on 5 mm pins — sized to the jars you actually buy and the opening you actually have.

One sheet of plywood, or three hundred dollars

That is the whole argument, and it is the trade price I am comparing against — not the inflated list. A wood pullout is a box, some hardware and an afternoon. Laying one out to fit a specific opening is the part nobody wants to do twice, and that is the part this does.

Built on your machine, from about half a sheet of 12 mm plymaterial only

And none of those shelves adjust after it is built. Prices checked 17 August 2026 at a cabinet supplier. Take the trade column as the real number — list exists partly to make the trade discount look good, and if you are cutting these you have an account. Either column is more than a sheet of ply.

What it makes

Adjustable shelves

Line-bored on 32 mm System 32 pitch. No shelf dados anywhere, so the shelves move after it is built — which is the point.

Blind bores

3/8" deep, derived from the pin shank rather than the panel. The bore says its depth on its own layer; it never says THROUGH.

Slats

A retaining slat per shelf, dadoed 4 mm in. The pin sits deliberately under the slat — that collision is solved, not avoided.

Sized to your jars

Shelf count and spacing come from what you measure. Three shelves by default, in a 20" x 26 1/2" opening.

The numbers

Defaults, not limits. Every one of these is a field you type into — the gadget builds to what you measured, not to what I measured.

Default opening20" wide x 26 1/2" high

Pins5 mm pin, 9 mm shank — measure yours
Pin pitch32 mm (System 32)

Fully parametric, and hands off

You do not draw anything and you do not edit geometry. Type your opening, your material and your hardware, press Generate, and it lays the parts out on your sheet with the toolpaths posted in cut order — pockets, bores, cutouts, then the part outlines last. It reads your real sheet size out of Job Setup, so the nest is against the material you are actually holding.

All three pullouts — $150

OrganizerFORGE, TrashFORGE and SpiceFORGE are $75 each, or $150 for the three. They share a carcass and the same hardware, so if you are cutting one you are set up to cut all of them.
