Frank Lloyd Wright Print Stand

very nice…I used to be into photography—-when you say “print stand” is this for paintings? photo? or??? Either way it is an art piece all by itself…very nice!

Very nice Bill. I of course read it as Plant stand. And I said to myself. I guess you could put a plant on the base area, but nothing up higher.

NapaMan set me straight when he stated “print stand”

Nice piece of furniture.

Thanks. The site I got the plans from called it a print stand, so I kept the name. Remember, FLW was building things a long time ago, so their terminology may be different that what we would call it today. I would think you could use it for either paintings or photos. I would say anything in a frame would work on it, even drawings and lithographs.

Karson, that is an idea as well, to build a plant stand based on this. I would make the base a little bigger to hold the pot better. Also, I would remove the little block from each end, since it would not be needed. I can see a nice vine of ivy or something growing around and through it. Of course that might damage the stand on down the road.

Glad to help Bill. Well you could use real plants and fake Ivy to twist around the upper portion.

Great project Bill. I visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s house in Oak Park, Il once and I think you captured the spirit well.

Great work Bill. I could use a couple of these around my house.

It is too nice to cover up with a print, in my humble opinion.

I like the miters on the center frame a lot, makes for very clean lines. I’ve been eyeing the Chinese triple miter recently, haven’t quite gotten up the nerve to try one yet though.

Very nice job Bill I have seen this on the Popular Woodworking free pllans list. I’ve wanted to make it too, just could’nt justify the cost of the art. You did a splendid job. Jockmike

Looks real nice. Is it your art that will be displayed?

Thank you for all the compliments. I just added a picture to show how the stand works. I like the way you think Os, it is pretty enough to be a work of art itself.

Now I just need to find some art gallery to buy a few dozen. I could make them different sizes to accommodate various paintings etc.

How many BD Ft of wood in each Bill?

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Let me check on my plans. I think it was just a few board feet.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Very nice work. Thanks for posting Bill, I am a fan of FLW.

-- John

Depending how carefully you cut, the stand takes between 3 and 4 Bd. Ft. Not much, but a nice stand comes out of it.

Thanks Bill. Thats kind of what I figured.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Really nice Bill. I agree with Os. Too nice to cover.
