My wife is currently going through a potted plant phase. Every other day she seems to come home with another potted plant. Being the interior design enthusiast that she is, my wife inevitably has some plans for me to help her with the project. Her plan for me is to create custom potted plant stands. She believes this will give our home jungle just the right touch.

Leave it to me to turn some thing simple into a complicated project. I decided to use joinery to assemble the stand. I used a mortar and tenon joint to assemble the legs, which were at a slight angle of 10° for extra stability. In the end it took me about 2 days to make it work the way I imaged. Was it harder then it should have been? Yes. Did it pay off? Well, I think so.

Here you can see some of the steps:
