A SMOKING STAND
When making the smoking stand shown in the accompanying photograph, use quarter-sawed oak, if possible, as this wood is the most suitable for finishing in the different mission stains. This little piece of furniture is very attractive, easy to construct, and is an article that a smoker would appreciate.
If the stock is purchased finished and sandpapered, it will save much of the hard work. The material needed is as follows:
- One piece, 7/8 by 12 in. by 9 ft. long, for the legs.
- One piece, 7/8 by 10 in. by 4 ft. long, for the top.
- One piece, 7/8 by 8 in. by 1 ft. long, for the shelves.
- One piece, 1/2 by 2 in. by 6 ft. long, for the pipe rack.
The legs can be made first. Cut four pieces off the 12-in. board, each exactly 25 in. long, and lay each one out with a pair of compasses as shown in the detail drawing at Fig. 1. With a circle or keyhole saw cut out the piece, then shave out the saw marks and sandpaper smooth.
