In this video I build a DIY hanging food can dispenser, which holds 42 cans of food and rotates them in a first-in-first out (fifo) method, so you eat the oldest cans first. This was a necessary project, since there are a lot of cans of food to store in my house. It helped a lot with organizing my pantry, and it is pretty fun to use.

This looks easy enough to build and keeps food rotated. I can't wait to try it!

Great design, I like the fact that you can se what the cans are of a lot easier than on a flat shelf or in the conventional u-shaped can rotator system.

Good video and useful tips. I used your plans but changed the dimensions to suit my needs. The cardboard spacers was inspired! Great idea. Instead of drilling holes to attach the dividers to the plywood, I used my studfinder and secured them that way. Great job, thanks.

New subscriber, just what the Pantry Doctor ordered! Showing husband this as we're getting ready to move to Pahrump NV from Henderson NV, husband wanted wide open spaces ( 1.1 acre) and 1700 ft home just right for the both of us- finally enough kitchen space to do this and my Canning, Prepping & Freezer meals, enough of a yard to plant in my raised Planter beds cause Nevada homes are notorious for having a strip of sidewalk for a backyard - great job!

This was OUTSTANDING. We have no pantry in our kitchen, but we may try to do this in our garage as it's just a few steps away from our kitchen. Or, maybe on a wall in sunroom that adjoins the kitchen. A very light weight decorative fabric cover could go over the front to cover the cans if it were put in a sunroom or garage. Thanks for this excellent video. You made it look so easy.

@BobsWoodStuff 2 года назад

You're welcome!

@111jacare Год назад

@ Michelle Duncan: Just be cautious of the sunroom. If the sunroom is north or west facing, how hot is it going to get in summer? The summer heat may do damage to the food inside the cans. Direct sunlight is one issue, but the ambient heat is a secondary issue that is harder to mitigate.

@71160000 3 года назад

Great for people with little room. I had one like that in my home fifty years ago. Now for today I keep more food on a steel roll around shelving unit. It holds several hundred cans per shelf and has five shelves, so maybe 800 or more cans. Plus you can roll them around for cleaning. I put cans in from the back side and use them from the front.

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

Thanks! I used 3/4" plywood (11/16" actual thickness).

@DangeresqueIII 4 года назад

Too much woodworking and not enough juggling while playing DDR... But honestly good work. Wish I had the power tools to make it.

@BobsWoodStuff 4 года назад

The minimum tools required would be a drill and a circular saw.

@robmclaughlin420 3 года назад

You can buy cheap versions of the tools on Amazon, better ones at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Everyone should have these to store food even for normal life.

@littlemisssunshine2931 3 года назад

I'm very surprised that you didn't make the little triangular supports the right size to actually fill the gaps. The way you've done it will over time become a dust trap that will be virtually impossible to clean. Otherwise great design. Thanks for sharing.

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

Thanks. Yes, it would be better if the ramps filled the gaps. I made them small to make the plans easier to follow.

@jamesmiddleton5304 3 года назад

Just use 1x4s? Or what for the dividers? That's my main concern. Plus I have to have 1 row that'll fit the larger cans of Rotel. So it adds extra CRAP to this fairly simple design. Think it'd work without the 45degree angles behind the bottom can?

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

For the dividers, the important thing is to make sure it is wide enough to fit the cans. So I would measure the diameter of the top of the largest can you want to hold, and make the dividers about 1/8" wider than that.

@111jacare Год назад

It is a great use of space, but, what worries me is shrinkflation! That is when the cans suddenly shrink. How do you counter that problem???

@BobsWoodStuff Год назад

I haven't experienced that, but if the cans suddenly got a little smaller, it would still work fine.

@111jacare Год назад

@@BobsWoodStuff: I failed to mention, but, to give an example: Heinz spaghetti in sauce has gone from 400 grams to 300 grams. Now, they have released a 515 gram can. So, if you have made your racking for the 400 / 300 gram cans, and they then come out with a 515 gram can... that is what worries me!!!

@BobsWoodStuff Год назад

@@111jacare I see. I've had that issue with some cans being slightly too large. I recommend building it for the largest cans you expect to hold, and it will still work for the smaller cans.

@Oobeaga 4 года назад

I'm building this - the bottom rail doesn't keep more than 1 can in. Any force on top of a single can pushes it out, and gravity does the rest. Any tips?

@BobsWoodStuff 4 года назад

I would try making the bottom rail a little taller, or making the ramp in the back (the one that pushes it forward) a bit smaller.

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Looks great, how is it holding up after all this time?

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

It is holding up well. Some of the paint has smudged though. And I don't recommend dropping the cans all the way from the top if it is empty, better to guide them down.

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

@@BobsWoodStuff I feel like there is a good story about someone having to clean up a can's worth of soup from the floor 🤣

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

@@TheGrantAlexander No, just some real loud noises. Since it is mounted to the studs, it sounds like an earthquake if they get dropped really far.

@TheSevngrayz Год назад

All those cans must weigh a lot. Did the 3/4” plywood hold up the the weight?

@BobsWoodStuff Год назад

Yes, it has stood up for years with no problems. The washer-head cabinet screws are important while mounting, to spread the weight and really clamp it to the studs.

@gardengirl7258 Год назад

Two years later, is there anything you would alter?

@BobsWoodStuff Год назад

I would add a little more space on each end of the cans (make each column slightly wider). After painting it the fit of the cans was a little tighter than I liked. And I would sample more cans and use the widest to set the height of the spacers. Some cans are a tiny bit larger than others.

@eyeonart6865 2 года назад

When you mix cans on one row you have to take out the cans to get to the one you need.

@BobsWoodStuff 2 года назад

Yes, it is best to designate one column for each commonly used item.

@lorriehernandez469 2 года назад

Would I be able to attach this to a door? Or would it be to heavy?

@BobsWoodStuff 2 года назад

I think it would be too heavy, unless you had some extra beefy hinges and put long screws all the way into the studs.

@davesolocornet1 4 года назад

Great idea, but just concerned about the lack of crown guard on the panel saw

@BobsWoodStuff 4 года назад

I have never used a crown guard on the table saw. That is the way I learned, and I believe it is very safe when done properly with the right kind of push stick. But I do recommend people use whatever method makes them feel safest.

@rollingthunder4599 3 года назад

Why not use french cleats?

French cleats would definitely work well for this. In my pantry, space is at a premium so I didn't want the extra half inch or so that it would stand off the wall.

Interlectually dishonest in that rearly dose someone cut a piece of ply and have if fit exactly 6 cans or what have you across the wideth of it. You either fluked it or did some math which you did not show in order to get this right.

@BobsWoodStuff 5 месяцев назад

I did some math by measuring the height of the cans and the thickness of the dividing walls. It was not just a random size that I cut the back piece to that happened to be the right size.
