I don't remember where I first found this idea as it was a day when I was scouring the net for inspiration. I didn't really take much notice of the idea at first but it must have settled itself somewhere in the part of my brain that actually functions and quite literally from nowhere it suddenly made sense to make one.
It's a simple idea for a tray to hold the toaster so that all those annoying crumbs don't settle all over the worktop and inside the cupboard that houses it.
It was so simple to make from scrap wood.
I cut a square of ply measuring 13" x 13" (I measured the base of my toaster first) and gave it a quick sand.
Next I added some 1" x1" scrap wood all round the base - glued and screwed.
Then I added scrapwood to the sides - glued and screwed - and used a Jigsaw to shape two of the edges and add a handle hole to the same two edges.
I gave it a quick sand down and left it at that. It does the job perfectly - no more crumbs.
