Materials and Tools
To build a pour-over coffee stand, you will need the following materials and tools:
Redwood lumber
Redwood lumber is a great choice for this project due to its durability and natural beauty. You can use reclaimed redwood or purchase pre-milled lumber from your local home center.
Jointer
If you have access to a jointer, you can mill the redwood lumber yourself. This will ensure that the wood is smooth and flat, making it easier to work with.
Planer
Using a planer will allow you to create consistent thickness throughout the redwood lumber. This step is optional if you have purchased pre-milled lumber.

Table saw
A table saw is necessary for making precise cuts in the lumber. You will use a crosscut sled on the table saw to cut the pieces to the desired dimensions.
Miter saw
A miter saw is another option for making the cuts in the redwood lumber. It can be used to cut the pieces to length.
Circular saw
If you don’t have a table saw or miter saw, a circular saw can be used to make the necessary cuts. This tool is portable and versatile.

Handsaw
In the absence of power tools, a handsaw can be used to make the cuts in the redwood lumber. It will require more effort and precision.
Drill press
A drill press is ideal for drilling precise and straight holes in the pour-over stand. It is recommended to lower the RPM of the drill press for better control.
Hand drill
If you don’t have access to a drill press, a hand drill can be used to drill the holes. Make sure to set the RPM accordingly to achieve accurate results.

Drywall screws
Drywall screws are used for assembly. They are strong and provide good holding power. Make sure to use the appropriate length of screws for securing the pieces together.
Glue
In addition to screws, glue is used for extra strength in the assembly process. It helps to create a sturdy and durable pour-over stand.
Right angle clamps
Right angle clamps are helpful for holding the pieces together at a 90-degree angle during assembly. They ensure that the stand is square and properly aligned.

Oak plug buttons
Oak plug buttons are used as accents on the pour-over stand. They add visual interest and can be placed in the screw holes to create contrasting details.
Random orbit sander
A random orbit sander is used for sanding the surfaces of the pour-over stand. It helps to create a smooth and even finish.
80 grit sandpaper
Starting with 80 grit sandpaper, you will gradually move up to higher grits for a finer finish. This abrasive is used for initial sanding to remove any imperfections.
120 grit sandpaper
After sanding with 80 grit, switch to 120 grit sandpaper for a smoother surface. This step helps to refine the wood and prepare it for finishing.
180 grit sandpaper
The final sanding step before finishing involves using 180 grit sandpaper. It creates a silky smooth surface and helps to achieve a professional-looking result.
Veritas carcass saw
A Veritas carcass saw is a specialized tool used for cutting dowels. It provides clean and precise cuts, ensuring a perfect fit for the oak plug buttons.
Flush cut saw
A flush cut saw is used to cut the oak plug buttons flush with the surface of the pour-over stand. This step gives the stand a clean and polished look.
Eighth inch radius round over bit
An eighth inch radius round over bit is used to round the edges of the pour-over stand. This step adds a decorative touch and makes the stand more comfortable to handle.
Semi-gloss spray polyurethane
To protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty, a semi-gloss spray polyurethane finish is applied. It provides a durable and water-resistant surface.
Five minute epoxy
Five minute epoxy is used for attaching the feet to the bottom of the pour-over stand. It provides a strong and permanent bond.
Mallet
A mallet is used to help seat the oak plug buttons and feet securely into place. It ensures a tight fit and ensures that the stand is sturdy and stable.
Now that you have gathered all the required materials and tools, you are ready to start building your pour-over coffee stand.
