Dressing up a metal stand

Chago09 · #1 01/03/2008, 10:35 PM

I have seen some metal stands that have had basicly a wood box sitting around the stand. It looks amazing, I have found some old threads on other websites, although can't seem to find a plan. Can anyone help out here???

Not sure I've ever seen any plans per se, so there might not be any to find. They are all basically all custom made to order. Some stands have tabs welded on them so you can run screws into the skirting from the backside. Otherwise, any cabinet maker or half way decent home woodworker can knock one out pretty easily. You're limited only by your imagination.

I have seen pre-finished cabinet doors attached to the front and sides with magnets. Easy removal for maintenance.

Sounds interesting.

I've never seen a metal stand dressed with wood. Anyone care to share some pics?
