Drink Dispenser Stand

Build the inner 1x2 frame first, using the corner supports and bottom supports — build two identical. This frame is what actually carries the weight of a full dispenser, so glue it well.

Attach the picket side panels to the outsides of the two 1x2 frames with glue and 1" brad nails or staples. The panels skin the frame and hide the joinery.

Add the end pieces to join the two side assemblies into a box. Keep the top edges even so the dispenser sits level.

Add the bottom slats to close the base. Then lay out the handle openings on the two shorter side panels, drill a starter hole, and cut them with a jigsaw — or skip the cutouts and screw on hardware handles. Sand any sharp edges.
