Building a Solid Walnut Cake Stand for My Wedding!

Описание: In this video, I show how I created a cake stand out of walnut in one day (and night). This stand will hold the 3-tiered wedding cake at my upcoming nuptials in a few months.

I designed this cake stand around the fact that I don't have a lathe, so the pedestal portion could not be cylindrical. I decided the top should be round, and the bottom should be square, so I chose to make the pedestal have both square and circular elements. The overall footprint of the pedestal is square, but the walls curve inwards smoothly.

I would have liked to cut the circular top with a router and a circle-cutting jig, but I don't have such a jig. So, I used my table saw and my cross cut sled to make the cut. It came out surprisingly well,

The cake stand is 12 inches in diameter, and is finished with Arm-R-Seal (which is food safe after a full 30 day cure). This build took about one day, excluding finishing which took several days with one coat per day and light sanding in between.

Some additional ideas for the title of this video were:
