Well this is my first proto type of a First In First Out can organizer that I am working on. Saw something like this on the net and decided that I could build one easy enough.
Going to make different ones for different kinds of cans but this one if for the standard 4.5" vegetable fruit cans. These pics were taken with my Blackberry, crappy pics, but I will get some better ones later.

I made this out of 3/8" plywood and its held together with 5/8" and 1" staples and glue.
The partitions are 15" deep x 9 3/4" tall
The can slides are plywood cut to 3/8" x 3/8" strips. The top one is 12" long and the bottom is 15" long
The front strips are 1 1/4" x 15"
The back is 7 1/8" x 15"
I used a 2" hole saw to make the circular cut outs.
This unit will hold 30 cans.
Overall dimensions are 15 3/4" deep x 15" wide x 9 3/4" tall.
The cans are the standard vegetable/fruit that are 4 1/2" tall.

Bill do you have the plans for this how did you make the cans slide? just small pieces of wood?

I think i see how it is done.
How many cans does it hod per unit?
What are the dimensions front to back?
