How to Make a DIY Copper and Wood Monitor Stand

• Measure the base of the monitor to determine the size of the monitor stand.
• We used a 1-inch x10-inch wood board for the depth of the monitor stand, 15 inches for the width. You can adjust the size to fit your needs.
• Sand, clean and stain in the color of your choice.
• Allow it to dry.

• Using a 1/2-inch copper pipe, measure and mark the lengths you need.
• Use a pipe cutter to cut them.
• The final lengths are 7-, 3- and 4-inches as shown above. There are 4 pieces in each length.

Arrange the copper pipes and T-joints together as shown.

Side 1:

• Lay a 7-inch pipe in the middle with T-joints on either side.
• Followed by the 3-inch pieces on either side.
• Place the 1/2-inch 90-degree elbow joints on the ends, then the 4-inch pieces.

Middle: Lay the two 7-inch pipes across to attach to the 1/2" copper T-joints on the other side

Side 2: Repeat the layout of the first side.

Buff copper pipes with 0000 steel wool to remove oxidation and restore the shine.

• Start with the center grid to make sure it is flat against the table.
• Use super glue or epoxy to put the pieces together.
• Apply and hold for a few seconds.
• Attach elbows on all four corners.
• Attach the 4-inch copper-pipe legs.

• Add end caps to the feet to complete the copper pipe base.
• Let dry. The base is ready.

• Place the top board upside down on your workspace.
• Center the stand on the board.
• Attach the straps with 3/4-inch wood screws.

• Coat in clear spray sealer to slow copper pipe oxidation.
• This will preserve shine and protect the wooden top.
• Let the sealer dry.

• Place your new monitor stand where you need it most.
• Enjoy the benefits of a raised computer monitor stand.
