Dictionary Stand

[Ken Weaver]

Has anyone come across plans for a Mission Style/Arts & Crafts dictionary stand? Have found pictures but no plans. Any one remember seeing a source?

I gave up coveting those huge funk and wagnalls and websters unabridged for CD-ROMS about 10 years ago. Even though I wanted for many years before that a full sized dictionary.

Just make it from the picture, pal. ;-D
David Marks did an episode on building a library book stand. It may be available on his site or the DIT site.

Here's the David Marks/WoodWorks stand that Ken mentioned:

Plans are available ($14.95), but as Ken also suggests, you could easily make your own version using the pictures as a guide. This was an especially interesting WoodWorks project because DJM purposely built it using only hand power tools (jig saw, router, etc: no big stationary stuff) to demonstrate what could be done in a limited shop.

It's a nice enough piece but I'm not sure it's exactly what leaps into my mind when someone says "Arts and Crafts."

Now that's what Ken's looking for, rick. Look at all those mortises, and he has a spanking new mortiser! ;-D

Actually - that's exactly what I was thinking! You're scary Massingale!

Thanks for the pic Rick, I'm going to scope out some measurements from another one and scale to your pic.

that's great ken - can't wait to see the pics when you're finished!
