January is Junk Month! All this month I will be featuring storage and organization projects. This week, I built a canned food dispenser. It holds a lot of cans, but you can scale it back to whatever space you have. It works for most large and small cans.
If you would like to build this project, here is a set of SketchUp plans:https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byv0IjzK8MhveDEtVnE1UG5kNVU

Sorry about the delay in posting this tutorial of the series. I ran into some technical difficulties… which is another way of saying I sometimes have the attention span of a gnat and messed things up the first time around.
Speaking of messing things up, I’ve injured my knee and have to stay off my feet for a few days. I am only on day two and already going crazy. All in all, it looks a good time for going on with this toot toot tootorial series.

My daughter...

In the past, most old guys like me jealously protected their shortcuts and tricks to guard their job from competitors. I’ve seen many old fellows actually turn and place their bodies in front of their work to keep someone else from seeing how they did something, and they were not too bashful about doing so either. But, a lot of the old knowledge is disappearing now and some hard-learned things may disappear forever. I’ve learned a few tricks in my six decades of work related experience, and w...

I couldn’t find any reference for this on the site, so if I am re-posting the obvious, please forgive me.
Project Gutenburg has 3 very detailed books on building mission furniture. they contain detailed plans (although not as detailed as some modern books) and they have LOTS of plans in them. The construction ideas are also very enlightening and worth browsing through (for example this swing)
