DIY Rustic Stand

Step-by-step build — 7 steps. Also available as a print sheet.

  1. 1Draw Circles

    First up, grab your two scrap pieces of wood and using a protractor, draw a circle on each piece. Get as close as you can to the edge without going over.

  2. 2Cut Circles

    Now, cut the circles out with a jigsaw. I clamped mine to my work table, with half hanging over the edge, and rotated as I went.
