Evie created an instrument stand using birch ply and inner tube rubber. The process involved measuring and cutting the pieces, sanding and finishing the wood, and attaching the rubber to the top of the stand to hold the instrument securely in place.
To begin, Evie measured and marked the birch ply, which she selected for its strength and durability. Using a jigsaw, she cut out the pieces for the base and top of the stand. She then sanded the edges to ensure a smooth finish.
Next, Evie measured and cut strips of inner tube rubber to fit around the top of the stand. She chose inner tube rubber for its elasticity and grip, which is important for holding instruments securely. To attach the rubber to the top of the stand, Evie drilled holes around the perimeter and used screws and washers to secure it in place.
Finally, Evie sanded and finished the wood with a clear coat to protect it and give it a polished look. The finished stand is sturdy and functional, capable of holding various types of instruments, from guitars to ukuleles.
Overall, Evie’s instrument stand is a practical and thoughtful creation that showcases her skills as a craftsperson. By using quality materials and precise measurements, she has created a piece that not only looks good but also performs its intended function with efficiency and ease.
