I'll try to document my progress as I build this plant stand. This stand will be about 36" tall and have a 12" x 12" top.
I want to give thanks to Dave Richards for drawing this up in Sketchup for me and providing a detailed drawing for me to work with.
Well I had seen a photo of a plant stand like I wanted to build and that is the basis for this design.
Here is what I hope to build.
I'm going to be using walnut simply because that is what I already have on hand. If all goes well I may build more out of different types of wood.
So today I went out to the shop and found a few nice walnut boards to work with and started by cutting out the legs and slates.
I recently got a table saw from my father and am using it to do most of the cutting however I found trying to cut the slats only 1/4" thick proved to be an issue so I did that on my bandsaw.
Well that's day one.
