K-Cup Dispenser - JUNE 2013 Project of the Month

[mtylerfl]

Hello,

Here is a preview of the next Project of the Month (for JUNE 2013)...The K-Cup Holder/Dispenser!

Single-cup coffee makers have found their way into millions of kitchens world-wide. This project provides a useful and attractive way to store and dispense up to eighteen K-Cups at a time. The top knob rotates three tiers of K-Cup round trays to view and select the coffee flavors and blends. The side panels feature a steaming cup of coffee design with textured corner accents, but the panels can be customized with any design of your choice!

The project uses the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.

The overall dimensions are about 9" Wide x 8" Deep x 13½" Tall

Main items you will need:
1) The Project Files (included):
• 6_Cups_Rounds.mpc
• Top_Bottom_Panels.mpc
• Side_Panels.mpc
• Knob-and-Front_Strips.mpc
• Back Panel* 0.75" x 9" x 10.625"
(*cut the back panel yourself-not an MPC)

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
6-Cup Rounds: .75" x 11" x 29"
Top_Bottom Panels: .75" x 9.2" x 26.5"
Side Panels: .75" x 9.2" x 30"
Knob and Front: .75" x 9.2" x 18"
(Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig.)

3) 1.25" dia. x 12.5" long dowel, a scrap 0.125" dia. dowel, drill, sandpaper, wood glue, clamps, stain and/or paint and clear finish

4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.

Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice. The sample prototype is made from Select Pine and finished with clear Shellac and Rust-Oleum Traditional Cherry stain.

Very nice project Michael

Thanks, Eddie! Sort of a last minute decision to do the K-Cup dispenser "by popular demand". I'm very pleased with how it came out and hope everyone will enjoy it!

Michael,

Outstanding POM.

Best K-Cup Dispenser I have ever seen.

Stained, painted or what ever anyone would like to do to match their kitchen area.

How about a wooden coffee pot like we had setting on the old wood stove on the farm when I cam up as a boy.
coffee grounds in the bottom of the pot with egg shells...................

Hi Henry,

They usually make the projects available in the Pattern Store after the files are license encoded and so on. Should be very soon!
