So this year, I’ve had a bit of a love affair with vintage baking tins. I’ve been collecting them since January and it might be getting a little out of control because now and I have a whole  cupboard full of them (much to my hubbys dismay). I’ve repurposed these tins into various items so far  including tart tin coasters and a baking tin planter.

This DIY industrial tiered tray organizer is my latest baking tin project! It looks a little rusty and battered, but that my friends is the beauty of vintage and industrial – the imperfections!

Industrial Metal Baking Tin Tiered Tray Instructions

STEP ONE: Attach the lazy susan turntable mechanism

First you need add the lazy Susan mechanism to the baking tin that will become your  base for the tiered stand (use the largest of the three bakings tins ). This is the lazy susan mechanism I used and can be bought here.

Tutorial For Diy Tiered Stand

Place the lazy susan mechanism at the center of your baking tin, mark and drill holes with a drill.

This is where it gets really clever. My husband persuaded me to use a rivet gun for this project rather than using JUST glue as I had originally planned. I’m so glad I listened to him (for a change) , because using rivets turned out to be a much better way to secure the metal pipes against the metal of the baking tins.  (I watched this tutorial on how to use a  rivet gun before  hand –  and thankfully hubby was also around to help!)

The lazy susan mechanism was attached to the underside of baking tin with a rivet gun and rivets (please watch video to see exactly how this was done). We bought a selection of rivets ranging from 3/32” to 3/16”pcs. Choosing the right sized rivets depends on the size of the holes drilled.

Once  flipped over, the inside of the baking pan looked like this

STEP 2: Attach the pipe flanges

You will need a total of 5 iron flanges. 3 of them will go inside the baking pans, and 2 for the underside of each baking tin.

Place the pipe flange in the center of the 9″ baking pan, mark and drill holes that align with the flange screw holes.

Use 4 rivets to the pre-drilled holes to  secure the flange in place.

You will need to repeat these steps for the two other smaller baking tins.

NOTE: We used this glue to attach the iron flanges to the underside of the two smaller baking tins and left them to bond overnight.

STEP 3: Assemble

Once you are happy that all your pipe flanges are secure, all that’s left to do is build the tiered stand. Screw the 150mm pipes into the flange of  the largest pan.

Then screw the underside of the 6″ baking pan to the end of this pipe, and repeat this process with the 4″ pan. When you attach the last pipe, add the pipe cap! You should end up with something like this
