Coffee cup shelf

[savarin]

An absolutely urgent job that had to be done no matter what.
The grid that the cup sits on when making a coffee was chrome plated plastic. Considering the cost of Jura coffee machines ****** me off some what.
After 4 years of approximately 6 coffees per day that poncy plastic cover disintegrated and a new one from the maker was priced at $45 which I didnt feel like forking out for.
No worries, we all make stuff in a hurry for that really urgent job. and believe me this was very urgent as I cant function without that breakfast extra strong coffee.
I had a small bit of polished stainless sheet that would work so I made a paper template to check out the folds and cuts, transferred that to the sheet, cut it out and folded it up using angle iron sections cut to the inside lengths.
I drilled the holes at 4mm dia then drilled a 6mm dimple in a chunk of wood, using a M6 acorn nut screwed onto a bolt as a punch I dimpled all the holes.
Removed all sharp edges and the plastic protective coating and voila, my cut now can sit safely and be filled with rich fresh invigorating coffee.

Way back in the early days of CD drives in desktop computers, an end user called the service department to advise "My coffee cup holder won't come out." I don't know if that really happened or it was just the overactive mind of a tech. . .

Coffee is one of the four basic food groups; caffeine, nicotine, sugar, and pizza.

By the way, the shelf looks like a factory part. Primo. . .

Do you remember when the Coca Cola Gift was going around? Download for a free gift. It was just a harmless script, it put an icon on your desktop that said something like "Thank you for being a great customer, click here to get a free cup holder". When you click it, it opened the CD tray.
