Why I Built this Project

With graduation and a large birthday gathering coming up, I wanted a way to display the food I make. I’ll be using this for a taco bar. I love that I can just pop ice packs right underneath the trays to keep the food fresh!

How I Built this Project

I laid out the trays to figure out board cuts. This is easy to modify for 1 or more trays! I just dry fit everything together before assembly.

Once I had all my boards cut I started assembling the pieces using nails and glue.

After the frame was assembled I used 1/8″ plywood and glue for the bottom.

I played around with different styles of “feet”. Have fun and customize as you like!

I settled on using 2×2’s for the feet. I just screwed from the top in each corner, I used glue here as well.

Then I just had to fill my nail holes, sand and stain. Once dry, I added handles to each end for easy transport.
