Hello Woodworkers,
This is only my second post. However I am on a quest to recreate a 50 year old wooden stand (pics included with this post). The stand looks quite simple and in some ways is. I have a friend in England who has one of these and has sent me tons of pics and dimensions, etc. I have been drawing up a full scale version of the stand on 1" scale large graph paper too. However, the more I draw the more I realize that the legs are very complex, they taper, have a rounded inner leg surface and a slightly beveled facing surface and they notch where they mount to the flat surface area. I'm really thinking that a CNC cut reproduction is the best way to go. The flat round surface (in black) is very simple the legs not so much.
This stand is part of an extremely rare mid-sixities piece of history that I am restoring so one way or another I have to find a way to get it done, and the work has to be well done and as the stand as close to the original as possible.
I don't know squat about CAD and using a computer to draw up these legs for recreating them. How do I begin? Are there individuals or companies I can (should I?) contact who will do this? If so who might be recommended? Or could I really do this myself?
Any assistance, recommendations and etc are really appreciated and will be taken quite seriously.
See pics.
Thanks!
