Mannequin Stand

ReBecca borrowed this mannequin for a project and needed a stand and off to the shop I go. It's made from pine, except the piece the mannequin sits on which is from an old shelf. It was the largest piece of wood I had in the shop at the time that wasn't particle board. I rounded a 1 inch square piece to a ¾ inch dowel to fit into the metal base place of the mannequin and then cut a dado in two boards to fit this piece, then glued it together to form the main shaft for the stand. The cross base has half lap joints and the top portion has mitered corners for looks. But it won't be seen once in use. There are two pieces to this stand, the shaft with top plate and the stand for ease of transportation.

A sturdy stand.

The shaft slides into the base top section.
