This is a pen desk stand I make.
The cube is a four piece puzzle - very difficult to reassemble.
The bottom plaque and the cube are no problem.
It is the turned cube support piece -----??? How to make it easier. Any suggestions?
Now I make it from the inside out then turn it down.
I glue up 3 small pieces of wood all 90 degrees to each other. That gives me the form to sit the corner of the cube into. I then keep glueing pieces to the outside untill I have enough to trim and turn.
I cut the bottom off at 90 degrees to how I want the cube to sit. Cut the top to match and turn the rest down to size. Each one of those moves are difficult and easy to mess up.
Any ideas how to make a stand that positions the cube as shown in an easier manner?
