WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1) 2 pieces of round
wood. One larger then the other. Sizes depend on how large you want it. I bought
my pieces at HQ, and as stated above, it can be made with only one piece of wood
2) A tall, round, stool, like a bar
stool. I paid $3.00 for mine at a thrift
store.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
3) Paint, your color choice
4) Hammer & nails (I had a few left
over brass nails that I used)
5) 4 small pieces of wood, square or
rectangles, your choice (optional)
6) Goop. Plumbers,
household or shoe Goop, doesn't matter, Goop is Goop. (optional)
PROCEDURE:
I'm not an artist but there is a small diagram at the
bottom of the page to help you a little, until I can get my photos up.
1) If the stool has a
padded seat on it, remove it, foam and all, so you have only the wooden seat
left.
2) Take the smaller piece of wood, and
place the four little rectangle (or square) pieces of wood on it, so that it
forms a square pattern, not too close together. mark where they are with a
pencil, then turn the wood over so your markings are facing the ground
and replace the four little pieces of wood in the spots you marked. Now nail
them into place from the top.
3) Place the smaller piece of wood that
now has the little pieces of wood nailed to it on the wooden seat of the stool,
so the four pieces of wood are pointing upwards, and nail into place apx.
where the legs of the stool meet the seat of the stool.
4) For extra strength,
you can place a quarter size dollop of goop on top of each of the four little
pieces of wood that are pointing upwards (this step is optional, if you
don't want to add Goop, skip this and go on to step # 5.
5) Now place the larger circle of wood on top and
center well. Nail it into place being sure your nails are going into the four
little pieces of wood that are pointing upwards. You now have a round Altar.
with a shelf to hold lighter, extra candles, ect...
6) Paint the Altar in the color of your
choice, I painted mine black, and let dry over night, then put a protective coat
of Clear Seal or Polyurethane over the entire altar, let dry, paint symbols if
desired, and it's ready for dedication!
NOTE: To make the Altar
with only one round piece of board, follow step # 1, and then nail a piece of
round wood directly on the wooden seat of the stool, then step # 6.
