It rains here between October and April, sometimes very little, sometimes more, but rarely does it come down hard. I'm interested in how the two woods will hold up.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-11326602679196799652017-07-23T07:06:11.871-07:002017-07-23T07:06:11.871-07:00Hi Matt

That is why it is used in wet cooperage.<br />Red oak would not fare so well, but in your location? I dont suppose you get much snow ? :-) <br /><br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-51859866016027994352017-07-21T18:57:16.172-07:002017-07-21T18:57:16.172-07:00Greg, my legs were leaning slightly in, so I neede...Greg, my legs were leaning slightly in, so I needed to separate them just a wee bit. My tenon shoulders were pretty good, so perhaps if I clamped a little differently the legs would have aligned better. Either way, I think it's a good idea to use the spacer sticks to make sure the distance is right. Have fun with your stands.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-20540314684051123042017-07-21T16:00:48.066-07:002017-07-21T16:00:48.066-07:00Looking good!

In practice however I find that the legs inevitably lean in or out.<br /><br />It must be the season for plant stands. I've been working on a design too. Mine will live inside though.Gregory Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626596539743806187noreply@blogger.com
