Didn't really want to do this little job. Suggested she bought one off the shelf.
Still ended up doing it.
Bit of a struggle for time, did an odd hour here and there. Total about 6 hours total.


Not my taste, but exactly what she wanted.

Bit nervous about staining it, antique pine often looks a bit orange to me. Bought some quality stain, and sprayed it to get an even coat.

You have made a nice job of it Hitch. Looks like the staining went well too. Not an easy timber to stain Pine. Did you use a sealer before the stain or stain onto the bare wood?

Just used a liberon water based stain, straight on, 2 light coats.
I was suprised how much i used, nearly the whole 250ml tin.

Used compressor and mini gravity fed gun.

Then a couple coats of antique pine wax, put on with a bit of fine scotchbrite.

It turned out very well mate. I usually use an oil based stain but put a thin light coat of sealer on it first to stop any blotching. I have found that a light oak stain gives a good antique pine colour too. I find the oil based antique pine stains are a bit too grey for my liking. I have never used a water based one though.

excelent job well made no filler :thumbright:
when i make plate stands i go for a grooves 50 63 and 76mm
this seems a lot but allows bowls to sit in the front groove large plates in the second groove and small plates in the back groove
it not only allows the plates to sit a bit closer to the same angle it also allows overlap where your large plates or bowls will be a normal distance apart with smaller plates tucked behind
yes i know it will finish up a bit crowded as they always do but at least its a stylish organized space rather than whatever trinket fits in the gap :lol:
although my plate stands have level tongue and groove backs

It was made for a specific 6 matching plates, all the same size.
Distance of the groove was a puzzler, raided the kitchen cupboards for a selection of plates to get and ideal average!

The rail joint, whats that called? Its a sort of halving joint i suppose, the thickness of the rail is cut down to half, so i still had a square notch, instead of a wider radiused notch, if that makes sense.

Went for Stopped housings on the shelves, makes it a little easier to assemble.

Only had a couple of sash clamps long enough for one end, other was sprung from the garage roof trusses with battens :lol:

She saw one on ebay she liked, but it was very very dark. Bit of a copy of the design.

Looks quite nice for a little display piece.
