It is apple season here in NJ. We love apples here! I have always wanted one of those apple peeler/corer/slicers but never bought one. A couple of years ago in Goodwill I found one for $4.99. It attaches to your counter or table. The only problem was that it never stayed attached to the table very well. Our table has lip underneath it and I could never get to stay attached and not wiggle all around. I could not use the counter because of the way the edge is formed.
I decided to go online and look for a stand Everything I found was at least $15. For a block of wood? That I would only use a couple times a year? I decided I needed to come up with something myself. I asked Larry if he had any 2 x 4's or something similar that I could use to make a stand. He said he did not think we had any.

A half hour later he came in with this.
He made it out of some scrap wood.
It works perfectly and best of all it was FREE!
