Christmas Tree Stand


The previous owners of our house left their twelve foot, artificial Christmas tree for us. Since summer we've been dying to put it together and see what we've got. When we pulled out the tree last weekend, we discovered no stand. We found nothing available in stores or online — the base pole of this tree has a two-inch diameter — but I would not be discouraged.

I cobbled this stand together out of nothing but a 4"×6" beam and some 1⅜" dowel rod. Evon keeps calling this the Frankenstein Tree, on account of Frankenstein's thick, wooden soles.

IT'S ALIVE!!!
