Instructions
1. Draw 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. Cut 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.
3. Sand
Now, give those circles a sanding!
4. Apply Finish
Go ahead stain or paint however you'd like.
5. Add Hardware
- Just about done!
- Once your finish is dry, add one flange to each of your circles.
- Attach to the center using your drill and 3/4" screws.
6. Add Pipe
Go ahead and screw the pipe into each flange and you're done!
7. Enjoy!
Great work! What will you use your DIY Rustic Stand for?
