Simple Domino Bookstand

[CharlesWilson]

In this project, all the wood was jointed, planed, cut and (Domino) mortised in an afternoon. That was about a year ago, just after I received my Domino. It is now a year later, and after finally doing the glue-up, sanding and finishing, I can now display a very simple bookstand. I will leave out words, and let the pictures do the talking.

Nothing wrong with simple, very nice design.

That's very clever. That could be very useful holding up drawings and diagrams as well. Good job

Sorry, I can't take credit for the design. I had just received my Domino, and took it with me when I went to visit a fellow woodworker, Tony Bosco, in New Hampshire. He was the person who first drew my attention to Festool products three years ago.

Soon after arriving at his home he suggested that we 'Put the Domino to the test', and build some bookstands. There were three of us there, and between us we made components for three bookstands, modeling the design from one that Tony had previously made.

I do not know the origin of the design.

I love the look of Cherry and your project is clever and useful.  It's probably my favorite wood to look at and one of the worst to work with (splits too easy - Hickory is tops on my list for crappy to work with) but with your execution you didn't have to worry about that.  Nice Job!
