Just in time for the Fairs

[DWSUDEKUM]

I have been seeing handles for drinking glasses but had not seen one for the standard sized Dixie Cups.  You know those Red, Blue , Yellow ones.  The ones you see a lot at parties.  Well I designed a holder for one.  I made it out of some scrap 3/4 BB ply.  Sealed it with Teak Oil and then shellac.

It was made from 3/4 ( 19mm ) BB Ply.  See the attached pattern.  Basically it is a very simple 3 piece construction.

A top Ring, a handle , and a bottom ring.  Hardest part is to ensure that the sections fit snugly together.

Great job!

[daveww1]

great idea

[Scrappile]

DW, Looking again at you great idea.  I'm thinking you make up a few and go sit in a coffee shop like Starbucks, you would become a very popular man.  You could make a couple different sizes to fit the sizes of cups they sell.

Coarse someone would pick it up start having them punched out in different colors of plastic and make a fortune off your idea!

Like others they looks super. Well done.

One additional comment. Parties I go to generally provide alcohol for consumption. A shellac finish, for all it's great qualities, doesn't do well with if people spill booze on it. However if the party goers want Diet Coke instead of Rum and Coke, the handles should be fine.

This was the first one and for the others I planned to use lacquer which should be fine for general use.

What a great idea and well executed.  Thanks for sharing your pattern and information on making.

As an aside to what dgman said about the hosting site - here is an example of what comes up when i click on your photos to look at them better. (I only took a partial screen shot. )

[oldhudson]

Just out of curiosity did you scroll those centers out or drill them or some other process?

It must be dependent on ones location. I get adds for dating women in my town and for foreign women. It would not be good if my wife was standing behind my chair just looking at a project!
