Christmas tree stand

admin

Well I make my own Christmas tree stand last year and since some were posting on designs I thought I would post mine. It a simple but strong and looks nice to me. I made it in such away I could bend it a little to make the tree straight. The tree will never fall over with this stand unless you really try. I just use a old plastic container for the water but plan on making a water tank that can be filled with out get under the tree. I will post that later when I build it.

Reply:Thanks John.I have been bending metal like that for awhile. It's just a cheap bender. I want a new scroll bender someday soon but as you know I already bought to many toys as of late. Miller DVI2Lincoln Precision Tig 225Thermodynamics Cutmaster 38Everything else needed.

Reply:my opinion is to use an old, i dont know the english word . 3 claws, right next to the gearbox on a lathe, what is it called?. and just mount it on a Plexiglas plate .Its now very pretty, but it sure works .¤If you got money, i've got time
