   Hey barnowl,

   I also have been getting Fine Woodworking, but only for two years, so the propability that you have many issues is good, so, true, it would be hard to find something like that.  I remember in one of the recent issues (I think) that there was a picture of a music stand in the secction where people submit their photos, but I would have to look through each individual one.

   I am also going to build a music stand, make it a three legged stand with extendable top (somehow)  The three legs would be dovetailed into the column turned on a lathe and the top would be able to swivle.  I have made several three legged stands that way, and am working on another one right now, but I hope to make one like a music stand soon.

   Let the chips fly!

   Perhaps these by Chris Becksvoort? http://www.chbecksvoort.com/mstands.html

   Good luck in your hunt.

   Thanks for the reply, these are not the one that I am looking for but if I cannot find it I will certainly consider these.

    

   Thanks again

   I don't have a picture to post, and I don't know if it was ever shown in FWW, but Sam Maloof has done some music stands which are quite beautiful.

   All of Sam's stuff makes you believe that this is what the tree truly wanted to be when it grew up. Very organic, with flowing lines that are well balanced, and joinery that seems impossibly fluid.

   I'll bet there are some pics on the web somewhere, or you could look up either of his books.

   Good luck.

   Thanks for your repy, I will look into this to see if they are in fact the ones that I am looking for.

    

   Thanks

   HI,The finewoodworking collection (Book) on fine furiture projcets has such a stand that looks both practical and elegant as a strat point. It certainly solves the attchment, swivel, height adjustment engineering problems and you could modify the style to suit.David

   If the stand that you're remembering was just one of the gallery pictures, you could try this:

   http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/fw_readshow_home.asp

   FWW's online gallery pics going back to 2000. Tedious to be sure, but you might find it there.

    

   If you build it - he will come.

   Yet another gaping hole in FWW's electronic architecture. I should have expected as much after all the stuff I found missing from their CD.

   Hi

   It seems to me that anyone that already subscribes to the magazine should be offered some sort of access to past magazines.

   Hi

   It sounds like I did not miss anything by not buying the CD's

   Well, you missed the quick lookup of the things that _are_ on the CD. I have a complete collection of FWW, and I see questions here all the time that I know are answered somewhere in that collection, but I have no quick way of looking for the answers. If I had the CD, maybe it would have what I was looking for, maybe not, but if it did, I could find it in seconds or minutes, not hours.

   douglas2cats | Feb 28, 2005 03:14pm | #18

   Dont waste your money on the CD. IMO there's way too many articles in the mags that didn't make it onto the CD. And being able to find things quick?....  Only if you're real lucky. The search engine that comes with the disc stinks. Don't get rid of that hardcopy collection just yet.

   I show two music stands one in issue 80 page 82 featuring bent laminations and the other in issue 31, page 65.Years ago when I first started subscribibg to FWW (issue #2), I started my own index using criteria important to myself and ignoring most of the junk that clutters indexes. I eventually put it on Access which is great. I have 2380 entries over the years which cover a lot of FWW & FHB but only those issues that I have. ( I de-subscribed several times in protest of the wierd projects featured) If anyone knows a way to transfer the index, I would be glad to share but beware it is tilted toward preactical furnituremaking not wiery artsy creations.

   Jim,

   You should be able to attach the *.mdb file onto a post if it is only an index it shouldnt be very big. Otherwise, export the main table to excell and attach that - it is pretty easy to search an excell table.

   mvnfhsyueifsjnhe | Mar 01, 2005 04:45am | #28

   Hi:
   The file is about 275KB which is pretty large. I can try it if anyone wants to have a look. But I guess I would need an e-mail address to send it to or is there a way to post it to the public or this site?

   quiet some time ago there was a stand that I fell in love with titled "WIND" the shape of it look like wind flowing. I still run across the photo also it was in one of the fine woodworking design books. If this sound any thing like what your looking for I'll look it up but it may take a few day to get to. I'm haveing some floor work done and everything is spread out all over the house.

   BarnOwl | Feb 26, 2005 07:05am | #9

   This sounds like a real possibility of what I am looking for. There is no rush, but when you get the time to look for it could you send me the number of the magazine that you find it in.

   Thanks

   Do a web search for "Mr. Standman"

   Some very nice work and various designs.

   A pretty good web site as well.

   I have attached a close-up of the top of a music stand built by a friend of mine a few years ago. If this is of interest to you, I have a few more snapshots I can post.

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   Hi

   Thanks for the photo. That is a very nice stand, but the one that I am looking for seemed to have a wavy look to it at the top, sort of like a mucic score.

    

   regards

   I think I know which one you are talking about. There were three stands, another one was shaped like a pair of leaves. Those three photos were in FWW within the last two years. I know I have the issue around, I just haven't had a chance to page through them. It is definitely in the last two years though.

   Hi

   This sounds like we are on the right track, and I sure appreciate all of the intrest this question has aroused. If you can find it please email the number of the issue that you find it in.

   Thanks

   I'm a professional musician as well as a part time woodworker. I've never cared much for music stands that didn't have a solid back because if you're reading a single sheet it can be tough due to back lighting. That's why the professional stands are usually solid. Of course I realize you can always put a couple sheets behind what you're reading. You also have to deal with people walking by and the music blowing off the stand without a solid back.There are more old drunkards than old doctors.  Ben Franklin

   Good point about the solid back on the music stand.  I'm an amateur musician, so I know what you mean.  Another thing to consider is what kind of music the stand will be used for...for instance, sheet music for orchestral works often folds out four sheets wide or more, so a narrow stand can be a real pain.  Also, the musical instrument being played will make a difference.  A french horn player usually sits down, so they need the stand lower and maybe tilted forward more, while a violinist may be standing up and will need the stand more upright.  If the musician is tall or short will obviously make a difference as well.

   Finally, if the stand will only be used at home in the music room, weight isn't much of a concern, but if the musician has to lug it out to the car and carry it to a gig someplace it's another story.

   I scanned a page from FWW's Biennial Design Book which contains what I think you're looking for, but when I tried to attach it to this post I kept getting an error. I can email it to you if you like.

   Hi

   An email would be fine, this is starting to drive me nuts. I know that I seen this particular music stand, but for the life of me I cannot find it.

   I just came across what you are looking for. Have you checked issue #154, Feb 2002? On page 76 there is a beautiful music stand that fits your description.
