display stand for puppets
by sven at 8:00 am
Last night I did a quick little project: a display stand for puppets or armatures.
I'd been gathering materials for a while -- at last I had everything needed:
- a 4" x 4" x 1/2" piece of MDF, sold at Craft Warehouse for making coasters ($2)
- 1/2" x 1/2" x 3' strips of wood sold at Home Depot in the molding aisle (~$1.50 ea.)
- 3/4" long 10-24 socket cap machine screws from Ace Hardware (50ยข ea.)
I cut two 4" lengths off one of the wood strips using my mini cut-off saw, then hot glued them to the bottom of the MDF. I drilled two 3/16" holes for the tie-downs to come up through. And finally, I painted the whole thing with a coat of black acrylic.
See? Isn't that a professional-looking way to show off your pups?

So cool! I saw socket cap machine screws for the first time yesterday and thought they'd be good for something! Well done!
...Priceless.
