Instructions
Take two of the 1-inch by 12-inch by 36-inch boards and clamp them together. Measure the middle of the short side and make a faint pencil mark. Measure out 2 ¾ inches from this middle mark on either side, and make two firm pencil crosses. Bring the tape measure to the corner of the board and measure and mark a cross 6 inches down each long side. Join up the crosses with a pencil line, and cut along it.
Measure, mark and cut one of the remaining 1-inch by 12-inch by 36-inch boards in half lengthways to make the base boards. Clamp one of the pointed end boards to hold it in place, and hold the base boards up to the side at right angles. Mark the position of the drill hole with a cross. Repeat for the other end. Clamp both base boards together and drill through the crosses.
Screw the base boards to both end boards. Take the remaining two 1-inch by 12-inch by 36-inch boards and nail one to either side of the end boards. The boards should meet in the middle and overhang on the outside, like a house roof.
Nail the remaining 6-inch boards on either side of the stand, halfway between the edge of the top board and the base board. This will give the structure rigidity.
Tack cotton wadding over the top of the stand. This will prevent the underside of your saddle from being scuffed.
