Horseshoe Handled Tray

Most people just use typical handles for trays such as ones that you find at a hardware store. Instead, this tray uses horseshoes as handles. I have seen some different things done with horseshoes such as feet for candle stands or other types of trays, but I used those ideas and came up with my own design for this tray. This is how I created it.

This project only uses a handful of tools and materials. Here is what I used to create this:

Tools:

Drill

Mouse Sander

Sandpaper (high and low grits)

Paintbrush

Level

Materials:

Horseshoes

Screws

Polycrylic finish

Wood (I used a soft wood)

Step 1:

Sand down wood with rough grit until smooth enough and sand corners making them curved.

Step 2:

Sand down wood with smooth sandpaper.

Step 3:

Apply polycrylic, 2 coats on bottom, about 4 coats on top.

Step 4:

Attach horseshoes and make sure its level. (I bought my horseshoes off Amazon)

After this, this simple project is fully complete!
