Build a Mid-Century Plant Stand
A walnut plant stand built start to finish — legs cut and tapered on the table saw, joined with glue and screws, edges rounded on the router table, then sanded smooth.
Steps
- 1
Break down the stock: cut the legs and rails to length on the table saw.
- 2
Taper the legs using an angled jig on the table saw for that mid-century splay.
- 3
Drill the joinery holes with the pieces clamped in a jig.
- 4
Glue up the leg assemblies and screw them together, checking everything sits square.
- 5
Cut the round top on the bandsaw and route the edge profile on the router table.
- 6
Sand the whole piece smooth and finish it.
