Need pie carrier plans

"Twas one of my first projects, a "pie safe" for my wife. Cherry
vertices, with oaken-ply panels. Like JOAT says, no "biggie". Tom

Yes, this is true, which is why I added the quotation marks. She uses
the thing to transport up to 4 pies at a time, safely! Tom

needth to knoweth:
Must hold six to eight pies <snip>

I'd volunteer, but I'm on a diet.

Seems to me this was covered before. Check the archives. Be no
biggie to make one tho. No biggie. Don't need no steenkin' plans.
Slide in/out shelves, with a hole to fit a pie dish.

Isn't a "pie safe" a cabinet-a piece of furniture? I am looking for a "pie
carrier" to transport pies.

Turned a picnic basket into a combination pie/cake carrier/picnic basket.
Cut a piece of 1/4" ply to fit in basket, put 4 3/4" dowel legs on it. Put
the baked good in the bottom, picnic stuff on top of the insert. Wouldn't be
any major to make more inserts.

Stupidity is not considered a handicap, park elsewhere.

For a "Pie Carrier (not a Pie Safe), make a 3 sided box long enough to stack
the number of pies that you will want to carry plus about 1" of space
between each of them. When finished, the box will stand on one end and the
pies will be stacked vertically. Before assembly you need to determine the
height of your pie plates/tins. This dimension plus the 1" space will
determine the height increment of each shelf. Put 1/4" Dados 1/4" deep in
the 2 sides for 1/4" plywood shelves on the increments that you have
determined previously. Make the dados wide enough so the 1/4" plywood that
you use will slide into them. Make these plywood shelves and put a hole in
the middle of each of them to fit the pie plate/tin that you plan to carry.
These will hold the pies away from the sides of the box and keep them from
moving around. Now assemble the box and remember NOT to glue the plywood
drawers in. You can put a handle on the top end if you want and a door with
a latch on the front if you want. You can even use furniture grade wood and
precisely fit it together or just slap it together. It's your choice.

It's easy enough to be able to do it without plans. (I did 30 years ago -
They still work)
