How to Make an Easy Display Stand with Proxxon Tools

 This easy display stand is a great project for getting to know your Proxxon tools. You can easily adjust the dimensions of the stand to meet your needs.

Supplies and Equipment:

• 6½" x 4¼" x ½" wood blank
• 6½" x 1¼" x 1/8" wood blank
• Two 6" lengths of ¼" dowel rod
• FolkArt Home Décor Antique Wax
• Proxxon Table Saw FET
• Proxxon Bench Drill Press TBM 115
• Proxxon MICRO Bandsaw MBS/E
• Proxxon Delta Sander OZI/E

Instructions:

1. Use the table saw to cut the backing piece to size using the extendable table extension, if necessary.
   
   
   
2. Use the bandsaw to cut dowel rods to length and the 1/8" facing piece to size.
   
   
   
3. Mark pilot  holes for the support dowels on the backing piece. Even if you are changing the dimensions of your display stand, the measurements for these pilot holes will work.
   
   
   
4. Mark pilot  holes for the support dowels on the facing piece.
   
   
   
5. Using the bench drill press, drill ¼" holes in the backing and facing pieces. Use the adjustable fence to maintain accurate alignment of the holes. Use a piece of waste wood under the pieces to minimize tear out.
   
   
   
6. Use the Delta sander to sand all surfaces using progressively finer grits of sandpaper.
7. Insert the dowels in the backing piece with 1½" to the front. 
   
   
   
8. Add the facing piece. The support dowels and facing piece can be glued in place with a liquid wood adhesive, or left unglued so the stand can be dismantled for storage.
   
   
   
9. Add the finish of  your choice to the display stand. I used FolkArt's Home Décor Antique Wax.
