Tower k-cup holder that rolls
This is an example of what I have created using reclaimed pallet wood. This tower stands just over 16", is just over 6" in diameter, and as you can see, is in a hexagon shape. The tower holds 42 clips with seven clips per side. The rollers on the bottom allow the user to roll it out from a back corner on the counter, no dragging. I sand everything to 320, inside and out. I stain and poly the inside before assembly taping the joints. The outside has two coats of poly satin over the stain. I wet sand between coats. Each hole is 1-1/2". I have sold 15 of these in the two years, lots of fun to build.

Thats cool James. I think I’ll make one for my niece.
Do you angle the holes? To keep the cups from falling out.

Very cool design. Lovely idea for a gift

Darrin, the holes are cut at 1-3/8" and the friction alone holds the cups in place. I use 3/8" stock for the slats which gives the cups plenty of meat to hold them. Thanks for looking.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. :-)

Darrin, I told you wrong. The holes are 1-1/2" not 1-3/8". My apologies, got thinking of something else, old age setting in.

I am glade that everybody knows what a clip is!. I have no idea. 42 clips is a respectable number what ever it is.

Madts, sorry, a clip is supposed to be a cup, a k-cup. Proof reading would greatly be beneficial to me.
