Isnt this the greatest find??? It's 1960s, made from plastic plates, missing one, but appropriate hardware for 3 stacking plates! I found this on The American Homemaker's Etsy Shop... who knows where she found it!
This is how it arrived. I had asked her to package it in pieces for easier tranport. The plates had a 1/4 inch hole drilled into them. First task: secure new plates and a 1/4 inch drill bit that could drill through glass/ceramic.
And this is what became of it:
 |
| The process started by marking out the centers of the plates and drilling small pilot holes. |
 |
| It continued with the glass and ceramic drill blade which is best used with water. |
 |
One with a hole, 2 more to go.
|
 |
| As in all projects involving the husband, beer and a 2nd plate with the hole drilled. |
 |
| Then it was just a matter of assembly... |
 |
Which was had a few issues since our plates were heavier and thicker than the original ones, but it turned out perfectly!
She has quite a variety of retro and vintage items. |

Cool! Pampered chef still makes a similar thing, it comes apart for storage too.
Woo hoo! Love it!!!! :)
Well look at that. Your husband has skills too. I love the new look!
Nice job refitting the new plates to totally make this wonderful! You wondered where she might have gotten it originally...probably my Mom's cupboard! LOL.
