DIY Sculpture Stand

http://www.UltimatePaperMache.com
Today you get to watch me fumble around with a little cordless screwdriver while I fix my DIY sculpture stand. Why on earth would you want to do that? Because if I can make a sculpture stand myself, with my very limited carpentry skills, so can you.

The only thing you'll need to buy new is the lazy susan mechanism. The one I bought will hold 500 pounds. You can find them for less than $5.00 on Amazon.com here: http://amzn.to/2iP0gRG

I used my little cordless screwdriver, but a regular human-powered screwdriver would work just as well. I got mine for about $18.00: http://amzn.to/2i0qSlu

When I first built my sculpture stand, I had to drill some holes from the screws. That happened about 15 years ago, so I didn't show that step in the video. I also had to use a hole saw to make the big hole in the board that came with the kitchen stand.

My stand probably cost less than $30 new, but that was a long time ago. Look for one at a thrift store or a ReStore, or consider using one you bought for your own kitchen but never really use. It helps to have a removable wooden top, like mine. If you'd like to see what the new ones look like, you can see one here on amazon: http://amzn.to/2i4aNJF - But I don't think that one has a wooden top. Ikea has them, but they cost even more. Do some scrounging - it's fun!

Or be really crafty and make a stand out of 2x4's, and get some casters to go on the bottom so you can move your sculpting stand when you need to. You can get the casters at Lowes. Make sure to get heavy-duty ones, so they don't break when you're working on a larger project.

If you do a lot of sculpting, this DIY sculpting stand will make your projects go more quickly.
