How to make a canned food dispenser?
1. Measure and gather the materials.
2. You’ll be needing plywood, where we can screw the pieces of wood rows, and this will be attached to the wall.
3. Screw an L-bracket to the wedge piece, to make sure that the cans don’t fall.
4. Attach the base to the plywood as additional support. (optional)
5. Slice a few pieces of plywood with the same sizes, and screw these as rows for the cans.
6. Slice a few pieces of plywood for the front of the rack, and screw these with the rows as a stopper to avoid the cans from falling.
7. Make sure that the cans that we wanted to put on the canned food dispenser fit in each row.
8. Once assembled, we can now mount the canned food dispenser to the wall.
