Adjustable Music Stand

Hi Jerry,

This is nice. At one time I only built a project with a single wood species. However I have come to see the light with respect to using contrasting woods. You did a good job here and added a nice detail to this piece by adding the walnut.

I am sure that your grandaughter appreciates the stand and the effort you put into the piece.

Thanks for the post.

Pretty good job! Very versatile.

Nice work. The walnut does give a nice contrast.

Looks great, how heavy is it? I want to build one but am concerned about it becoming to cumbersome, is weight ever a problem?

I’ve been thinking of building a music stand. I really like the look of this! Your height adjustment is completely different from what I was thinking – I might have to do some re-thinking! Does the tilt slip at all, or does it stay put?

Locking knobs on the tilt apply enough friction to hold the shelf in any desired position. A U shaped aluminum channel is the reciever of the height adjustment top. An O-ring or flat rubber washer (can’t remember which) between the wood and the aluminum provides all of the necessary friction after the clampup.

Great looking stand. Another family heirloom.
