Hi Uncle John Here are the pictures of the stand. I wanted to make a stand that would be rustic looking. I went to the woods nearby and was walking around looking for something that would work for the stand. I wanted to use a three leg system but I wanted the wood to be kind of crooked and bent not straight. I found a couple saplings about 3/4 inch in diameter and cut them and grouped them together until they would all meet at the top. I took them back into my workshop and started to put it together. I wanted all the pieces at the top where they come together to have one hole where all three of the sticks came through. Now all these I had to fit all three pieces together in the one hole and file them so that they would be at the right angle to the bottom plate. It took a while but finally got it. The pictures show the results. Thanks, Rich
