I had the griddle hooked on a couple screws for a long time, and my partner encouraged me to finally upgrade.

I cut up a seat I’d someone else was throwing out.

Table saw to cut widths, band was to shape the holders, back to dado on the table saw to notch the backs of the holders.

Hand plane for all the flat sides, sanded the edges. Spent more time finishing it than it really merits for something that will be hidden almost all the time.
