How To Build a Maple Taco Holder

Few nights of the week are capable of matching taco night in its deliciousness. In fact, it’s easy to make the case that tacos are the perfect food, customizable for all tastes and diets, fun to mix and match flavors and they’re handheld.

That last part intimidates some people. Handheld food can be a little messy, which can also mean more time cleaning the kitchen. To that end, the taco holder can be a big help, keeping the taco upright and its ingredients in place. It’s especially useful if you’re hard shells to make your tacos, and anyone doing the cooking will appreciate that it does make it easier to fill the tacos. But rather than go out and buy a handful of taco holders ahead of your next get together, why not spend an hour or so in the shop making your own?

Woodworking for beginners

Building things with your hands is an incredibly rewarding hobby, but for beginners, woodworking can admittedly be a little intimidating. This project is perfect if you’re just getting into it. There are no complicated joints to fuss with and the only tools you really need are a saw and a couple of clamps.

If you’re more advanced in your woodworking skills, you can definitely take this concept and kick it up a few notches to make something that might just command more attention than the tacos. But if you choose to keep it simple and follow the plan laid out here, you’ll have a nice handmade piece for your table and still give Taco Tuesday a little extra flair.
