Although this project uses 40 feet of moulding, it's quite simple to make.

-y wife and I recently attended our niece's wedding in Ft. Wayne, Ind. We realized after checking into the hotel that we had several hours lo kill before the event, so we got directions to the nearest antique mall and spent two hours there,searching through 20,000 square feet of moderately valuable old stuff. As usual, I was looking for moulding planes while my wife hunted for anything that struck her fancy.

Included in the junk wasa stack of woodworking magazines from the '40s and '50s. In several of these magazines, I found handsome measured drawings of Colonial-era furniture all rendered by a man named Lester Margon, and one of those Margon-drawn colonial-era pieces was this plate rack.

The circa 1765 original that Margon drew hung in a recreated tavern in Old Stur-bridge Village in Massachusetts. It was made of pine, unfinished, and wasassembled - like my reproduction - with brads.
