I made these new pot plant stands using Tasmanian Oak timber.
Material used.
32mm x 32mm Tas oak.
110mm x 12mm Tas oak.
Home made floating tenons to suit mortises.
Plastic angle brackets and screws.
Wood glue (Titebond 1)
Water based satin clear varnish
Plastic feet floor protectors.
I have been wanting to make these stands for the last six months, after looking at different ideas on line, I decided to go with this style.
If you put your mind to make something, it's very rewarding when you see the finished product.
All joints are glued.
The legs are made using floating mortise joints. I used a horizontal home made router table.
The top box section was made using box joint jig, I also made the jig to do this process.
For the top part, where the pots sit, I glued three pieces of 11mm x12mm tas oak, recessed to give a shadow line and recessed to mount into the box section of the planter stand.
The top base wasn't glued, it was just fitted into the slots and held together by just gluing the box joints.
Here are more photos of the work done to complete these planter stands.
I only needed 3 of the stands, I started by making one as a prototype, the assemble of this one was by using plastic brackets for the top base of the stand, which was difficult to line up, so for the next tree stands I re designed the top section, with slots, no brackets required.
This stand was the first prototype one of the four stands I made.
This is how I joined the top to the sides of the orginal/prototype planter stand
This was my original and first try at making a planter stand.
