Adustable Wooden Asian Arts and Crafts Music Stand



Here's a 3d animation of an adjustable desktop music stand I designed. It was inspired by a combination of the Arts & Crafts Movement of the late 1800s with a touch of Asian design aesthetic. I'm planning to make it out of White Ash with Black Walnut pegs.

Height: 10.5" - 16.25" (adjustable)
Width: 17"
Depth: 5.75"

The music tray adjusts along a sliding dovetail and is held in position with a peg. The side legs are one piece of wood that sticks through the center section of the stand. They are held in position by a modified pegged mortise and tenon joint with pegs on both sides to clamp the center section of the stand. Because of removable tray and side legs, the stand is able to be broken down flat to fit in a 1.5"x10"x17" area.

If all goes well, I'll begin manufacturing and selling them on my Etsy account.

The Organization of The Site

As with most ideas I come up with, this site is still in an ever-changing state of flux. My organizational skills are a bit of a mess, so this site may look like a bomb exploded in the menu or be so anal retentively organized that navigation is a chore. Please bear with me. I'm still working on the best way to group ideas to make the site as user friendly as possible.


If you like the site and/or are feeling generous, I humbly accept donations.
