After seeing @Iguanadon and @OzarkSawdust new display stands, I opted to update mine as well.

I made a new one to test the design, so the pics are the new design - It's not finished yet, but I wanted to get this posted.

I still need to add the runners and it needs to be sanded and painted, but it works incredibly well.

The display stand is a 3 tier 20" W with 5" shelves, made out of recycled wood - pallets

What I did was:

Cut out the sides, mounted the sides to a 20" base with 1 1/4" hinges (2 on each side, fold side inward). Center hole drilled into each shelf level and glued in 13/64" dowels. Center drilled each shelf side.

It's very stable with the dowels, so a back or front support is not needed.

It folds down to about 1"Hx20"Wx15"D - very compact.

Here are the pics...

Hinges attached

I'll add the runners, paint and sand it tomorrow then attack the first one I made

Thanks as always in advance for reading
