Wow, I didn't think so many of you would be so interested in making a can shelf like mine (sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with a passion for storing food). I'm so happy to share these plans with everyone! Here is the link to the plans for my can shelf.

It's a big pdf file, sorry, but just scroll down till you get to page 92 (or 10-7). You basically need: 4-2x4's, a bunch of plywood, little strips of wood so the cans don't roll off the shelf, strips of cardboard (I've got a bunch of leftover boxes if anyone needs them!) to separate the different rows of cans, lots of nails, a few L-brackets, screws, thin wood strips for the sides of the shelves, and your food storage. We didn't do the little cut outs at the end of the shelves because it was too time consuming and we figured we were adult enough to know how to get a can off the shelf without pinching our fingers. I know the plans look intimidating, but where there's a will, there's a way! Please let me know if you get stuck or have any questions!
If you have a minute, you might want to check out the rest of the document (I know, it's huge, but most of the pages have huge fonts). It's designed for a food storage course complete with handouts and transparencies. It's got some great information if you're interested.
Since we're on the subject of food storage, does anybody have any ideas, recipes, websites, etc. they'd like to share?
