I made the Kaleidoscope from Woodsmith #52 for my wife for Christmas. I started with the Woodsmith kit containing the plans, lens and brass rings. This was by far the most complicated project I have attempted. Next project is to build a display stand. Anyone know of a plan for such a stand?

Wow I can see how it would be complicated. Sure looks good.

Perhaps an idea?
Woodsmith 173, candle stand...
OR,
maybe even better, since you did such a beautiful job on that beautiful K project, howabout the cabinet in Woodsmith 202, where the kaleidoscope can be the main feature, at least until you make something else worthy of such display, which I'm sure is coming.

That's reeeeellly purty, Jim.
For a stand, I'd cut a length of Walnut and dado for two up rights. Cut recesses in the uprights to match the contours of the K-scope.
