Triple Tier Plant Stand using CNC
A Mentored Project Preview
This is a Preview session to determine Interest, explore process and review details. February 4, 2026 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Instructor: Dick Rohrbaugh
Skill Level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: 1. Core Tool Certification 2. CNC Certification
Students: 3 for class. 6 for Preview session
General Description:
Moving to the next level of woodworking can only be learned by actual doing. To aid that, we will be offering a mentoring program for any who would like to build the triple tier plant stand pictured below. It is a good next step for those who are comfortable with woodworking basics, can purchase and mill their own wood, and would like to move toward intermediate projects, including fine furniture. We anticipate that this project will take 3-4 sessions (excluding the preview session mentioned below).
In addition, this project offers a new step for those who have recently attained certification on the CNC. Here is a chance to move beyond simple signs and trays to using the CNC in making parts for furniture projects. If you are interested in learning to combine traditional woodworking skills and CNC work to build fine furniture, this project will be a good next step.
To determine interest and explore details, we will be holding a preview meeting. If you are interested in learning whether this would work for you, join us at 9 AM in the studio shop on Wednesday, February 4th. There is no charge for the preview meeting.
We will go over details of the project, potential time and cost involved, and explain the mentoring program and what it offers.
Tools, Equipment or Materials needed: If students have a pocket square, tape measure, 6” rule, speed square, bevel gauge, marking knife, chisels, etc. they could bring those. Students should also bring their own Personal Protective Equipment.
A variety of hardwoods can be used for the planter project.
