Display tray for the kitchen
« on: August 19, 2023, 06:46 PM »
Not as exotic as most of the projects on here but since I built it I'm happy.

I really would like to see some additional shots from other angles.

I am having a hard time visualizing why this looks like.

Please post a few more shots.

I made this for a friend of mine and he wanted it to match his kitchen (including the handles).  Anyway, here's a couple more pictures.

That was my first thought, seeing the first pic. Those look like kitchen cabinet handles.
Nice project, looks good.

Thanks for the feedback.  I used Curly Maple with Walnut for the bottom and then trimmed it out with Peruvian Walnut.

It looks nice.  I like the way you integrated the cabinet handles. 

I’ve been using “press-in” rubber feet to protect surfaces and prevent slipping.  They have a lower profile than the stick-on versions and seem to stay put better.  I don’t remember where I got them.  Very low profile so does not appear to have the items floating above the surface. 

I drill a 5 mm hole and simply press in the feet. Highly recommended.  I also use bump-on self-stick for situations where there is no horizontal movement to shear the bumpers off the surface.  But for a tray bottom, press-in.  Much lower profile than screw on and just as durable.

Lots to choose from:

Thanks for the tip!  Very elegant and useful.  I never thought to do it this way!

Nice looking trays.

These are serving trays incorporated into some pantry/prep kitchen cabinets we did. Hand holes were cut with the Shaper Origin.

I see a Castle pocket in there. Until a couple of years ago, when they came up with some miniaturized versions, that was pretty much a big cabinet shop exclusive. Most people have never seen them.

That's pretty cool.  I struggle with trying to be creative.
