nicely done I like it

-- of all the things Ive lost in life i miss my mind the most

Thanks for the good words. I bought the tins with the patterns punched in them. I felt a little guilty about buying the tins finished until I realized it would have taken me approximately 23 years to punch all of those holes myself…..

That is an AWESOME piece

Where did you get the metal for the doors? I am working on a media cabinet right now that I designed using punched tin doors with back lighting. Did you punch the pattern yourself and if so, how long did that take?

I purchased the finished tins at http://www.vandykes.com/. Do a search on pie tins at that site and something should turn up. Also do a search on the net. I chose not to punch them myself because of the number of the tins I needed. I’m just a simple wood worker not a tin smith…..... Let me know what you come up with

Great looking pie safe. It is a excellent combination with the oak and metal. A pie safe is not necessary at my house. with the way we love to eat pies here they never seem to make it past the cardboard container.

Another question on the tins…...Are they laminated to a ply backing with contact cement?

-- jdubo, Hartland Wisconsin..."If you see a flaw in my work take a (big) step back!"

Hello Jeff,

No the tins are not laminated to anything. They fit into a rabbit and I used 1/4×1/4 strips of oak around the entire tin to hold them in place. I used 18 gauge brads to hold the strips in place. The doors were designed around the size of the tins, of course
