Tools and Materials Needed

What you’ll need to bring your flower stand to life

Tools

• NanoBlade saw
• Jigsaw 18 Volt with curve-cutting blade (T 101A0)
• Cordless combi drill
• Cordless screwdrivers IXO
• IXO Collection Drilling Adapter
• Forstner drill bit (25 mm)
• Brad point drill bits (4 mm, 8 mm, 11 mm)
• Flat head screwdriver
• G-clamps
• Paint roller and tray

Materials

• 3 square wood boards (Paulownia or similar): 300 x 300 mm, 250 x 250 mm, 200 x 200 mm
• Beech wood dowel rod (25 mm diameter, 500 mm length)
• 2 M8 x 50 mm wood hanger screws
• M8 x 30 mm threaded sleeves
• 4 35-mm wood screws
• 8 empty glass bottles
• Optional: 175 ml wood varnish (white or coloured)

Step 1: Mark and Drill the Holes

Prepare the boards for the dowels and bottle holders

1. Mark the centre of each board by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner.

2. Use a compass to draw circles with diameters matching the board size (300 mm, 250 mm, 200 mm).

3. Drill the central hole in each board:

   • 4 mm bit for the largest board.
   • 8 mm bit for the two smaller boards.

4. Mark four evenly spaced points along the diagonals on the two smaller boards and drill with a 25 mm Forstner bit for the bottles.

Step 2: Cut the Boards into Circles

Shape the boards into elegant tiers

1. Secure the boards with G-clamps to a stable surface.
2. Use a jigsaw with a curve-cutting blade to cut along the marked circles.

Step 3: Prepare the Dowel Rods

Cut and drill the connecting dowels

1. Saw the dowel rod into sections:

   • One 50-mm section for the top tier.
   • Two longer sections, sized to match the height of your bottles plus 40 mm.

2. Drill holes:

   • 11 mm hole in one end of the 50-mm dowel and one of the longer dowels.
   • 8 mm holes in the other ends of the longer dowels.

Step 4: Assemble the Flower Stand

Connect the tiers with dowels

1. Attach the longest dowel to the centre of the largest board using a wood screw.
2. Place the second-largest board onto the dowel, securing it with the threaded sleeve of the second dowel.
3. Repeat the process for the smallest board and the 50-mm dowel section.
