Build Your Own Plant Stand

In this hands-on woodworking workshop, you'll learn to build an elegant, 4' x 3' plant stand from beautiful walnut and maple hardwoods. This impressive piece is designed to be as functional as it is striking, providing a perfect home for your favourite plants.

​ We'll provide you with some pre-cut components so we can focus on the critical fine-woodworking skills needed to build the stand. You'll work with both power and hand tools to complete the remaining components and assemble the project. This is a unique opportunity to level up your woodworking skills and take home a fantastic piece of furntiure.

By the end of this class, you'll have gained skills and confidence in a variety of woodworking techniques, including:

• ​Half-lap joints: Learn to create these strong, interlocking joints with precision.

• ​Grooves and miters: Master the techniques for cutting clean grooves and perfect mitered corners using a router plane, router table, hand saw and shooting board.

• ​Final assembly: Practice the clamping and gluing techniques required for a strong, lasting assembly.

Your instructor, Chris Roy, is an experienced furniture maker based just outside of Ottawa. Chris has dedicated nearly a decade to building custom dressers and tables, bedframes, chairs, shoe racks, plant stands, and more.
