THE BIG POST has been turned, the next challenge is the 3/4 inch diameter piece that will slide in the hole I will drill in that post. This piece includes half of the round friction plate that will allow for adjusting the angle of the music rack. Look back at the plan a couple of posts ago and you can make sense of this turning. I sanded it just a tiny bit thinner than 3/4 inch and hopefully it will just slide up and down in the vertical post of the music stand.
First we want to saw this circle round. | 
Then I want to narrow it down to make a good mating area for the matching friction plate that will be attached to the music rack. |
So here is today's progress on the music stand. Only worked on it for an hour or so but I am feeling really good about how this is coming together. I think I will make the music rack next and attach the mate for this friction plate to figure in detail how it will work. I will drill a pivot hole through both plates and join them with a wooden screw with threads cut by a neat tool I have had for years As you tighten the wooden threaded "bolt" the rack is locked into the angle you desire. This is a fun project to try and figure out. The ultimate result awaits.
