Oh wow! Send me the plans for your paint rack.
I don't have any plans, as I already had it all planned out in my brain housing group, but here is how I did it: As I don't have any wood-working tools, I bought everything pre-cut at Home Depot, which made everything a lot easier for me. The only bad thing was the cost (about $70 total, including a box of woodscrews) - I bought all hardwoods (I think they're all maple), as I was afraid the pre-cut pine would bend too much under the weight of the paint bottles. But, anyways, the rack is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3.5 inches deep. Each shelf is 1.5" deep, 1/2" thick and 3' long, and the spacing is 3" from the bottom of one shelf to the bottom of the next, EXCEPT for the second shelf from the top shelf, which is 5.5" (so I can store tall bottles, like you see in the picture). I also added backstops to each shelf to keep the paint bottles (and whatever else) from falling off the back. The sides & top shelf of the rack are 3.5" deep; each subsequent shelf is 1.5" deep, which is just deep enough for just about any bottle of paint out there. I drilled out all the holes for small wood screws for each shelf so that I wouldn't crack the wood by just screwing the screws straight through - two holes for each shelf on each side, then three screws (one on each end, plus one in the middle) for each backstop on each shelf.
So, twenty-two 3'x1.5"x.5" strips (for all the shelves (including the bottom-most shelf) plus the backstops), three 3'x3.5"x.5" planks for the sides and top-most shelf, and a box of 500 woodscrews.
I hope this info helps you get one built. It's very sturdy once it's all together. It'll hold a LOT of bottles, plus a lot of other modelling stuff. And it will easily sit on a workbench (like mine), or mount to a wall.
