How to make it:
**If you are confused by the instructions, reference the photo below for how measurements should correspond to the cuts you’ll have to make.
-Decide on how large you want the top circle. I used a bowl to trace out mine – they were 4″ and 8″.
-Use bandsaw or jigsaw to cut out the circle and then sand rough edges.
-For the two base pieces, the width should be about 2″ more than the width of your circle and the height can be whatever you would like. You can make a very short stand, a super tall stand, or anywhere in between!
-Measure out the two rectangular base pieces, cut out, and sand rough edges.
-Now you will need to measure and mark out a space to slide in the top circle and the slots so that the two base pieces will fit together:
-On the top of each board, measure to the center and then measure out from each side of the mark 1/2 the width of your circle. (If your circle is 4″ – you will measure to the center and then measure out 2″ on each side) At each of these marks, measure down from the top the thickness of your plywood.
-From the top of one board, measure to the center and then measure out from each side of the center mark 1/2 the thickness of your plywood. Measure down and across to the center of the board and then measure out from each side of that center mark 1/2 the thickness of your plywood.
-Repeat the previous step but from the bottom of the other board.
-Cut out the slots and then sand rough edges.
-Slide the two board together and then place the top circle in the slot.
