Bread Pans Converted Into Lazy Susan Parts Rack
 ✖  |
Stan Knafelc, Watson, Sask.: "A friend of mine who worked in a bakery gave me some bread pans that they were planning to discard. I decided to convert the pans into a Lazy Susan rack which I use in my shop to hold bolts, nuts, and small parts.
"The metal pans came connected together in trays, with four pans per tray. Each tray measures about 1 1/2 ft. wide by 3 ft. long. There's an opening between each pan. The Lazy Susan consists of a 7-ft. length of sq. tubing that rotates at the bottom on a front wheel spindle off an old tractor. The spindle mounts on a big truck wheel rim that serves as a base. To mount the trays, I welded a series of steel rods at right angles to the tubing to match the openings on the pans. The pans simply rest on top of these rods. There are 36 trays in all.
"It turns easy yet it's built strong enough to support a lot of weight. I estimate that all the trays together hold a total of 500 to 800 lbs. of parts."
