This Rustic scrap wood and pipe stand is a quick and easy build, and useful for so many things! I designed this as a salt and pepper stand, because ours always goes missing- but turns out it also makes a great cake and cupcake stand, and the perfect spot to set out snacks for my family 🙂

Directions

  • 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.

    Step 1

  • 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.

    Step 2

  • Sand

    Now, give those circles a sanding!

    Step 3

  • Apply Finish

    Go ahead stain or paint however you'd like.

    Step 4

  • 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.

    Step 5

  • Add Pipe

    Go ahead and screw the pipe into each flange and you're done!

    Step 6

  • Enjoy!

    Great work! What will you use your DIY Rustic Stand for?
