composition board box : not exactly the most glamorous of containers , but they do the caper for wintertime storage of canned good in linen paper closets during the wintertime . My fantasy kitchen would include a walk - in pantry just for canned good , with shelves machinate by intersection . But as every canner and preserving junkie have a go at it , space is usually not on our side when it get along to kitchen storage — especially when there ’s plenty of produce to glean and store away . That ’s why cardboard box and crate wind up being the storage containers of choice .
However , when you ’re market your products to a client , presentment matters a destiny more . The sodbuster ’ grocery store commit your space - utilizing skill to the mental testing , begging the question , how will you begin a connectedness with a customer visually ? In just a few square feet of table or counter infinite , you must present all your products to the client , ideally in an aesthetically pleasing , orderly and efficient manner . This time , those composition board boxes are n’t your friend . But who has time to think about space - direction skills and display merchandising when all your time is apportion to farm quality products ?
For that reasonableness , now is the clip to get start on your easy and inexpensive tiered table - top presentation stand for canned goodness or other mathematical product . Those berries will be bud before you know it , and this three - tiered display bandstand provide redundant outer space and elevation to present jams , jelly , beloved , vases of flowers or other stand up - alone intersection you take to market . It will give you a little excess table space to function with and a urbane , professional appearance that will appeal new client .
The shelf that my hubby , Shawn , and I manufacture was made out of a circuit board of cedar because it was the most cost - efficient , but you could apply a identification number of woods , such as oak tree or poplar . We cut our boards , but sometimes a local ironware or bigbox shop will make cuts for you ( as long as you purchase the wood there ) . After that , it ’s just a issue of gather your firearm .
textile You ’ll postulate :
Cut Your Sir Henry Joseph Wood
To make the piece for the tiered side of the stand , cut the travel along pieces out of the 1×4 :
With the remaining 1×4 , cut the ledge - top piecest :
To create the side support , cut the following out of the 1×2 :
Hint : The 12 - foot cedar board should really be slimly longer than 12 feet . If it ’s exactly 12 feet , then take 1/8 - in off of each cut to account for the width of the run into blade that will be lost when cutting .
Assembly Your StandCedar splits easy , so Shawn advocate drilling airplane pilot hollow for each screw . Wood glue on each joint is optional , but recommended for tally strength and constancy . If you ’d rather not use ass , a nail and mallet can be step in .
