Instructions

• 1

  Draw an equilateral triangle on the ¾-inch plywood that's 8 inches on every side. Cut out the triangular shape with a hacksaw or a circular saw.

• 2

  Varnish the wood and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Consider staining the wood or using polyurethane coating. While the stain/varnish is drying, cut the dowels into 8-inch sections.

• 3

  Mark the center of the plywood triangle with a pencil. Label the uppermost part of the triangle "top" and the bottommost part of the triangle "bottom."

• 4

  Drill a hole in the center of the triangle using a bit that is slightly larger than the soldering iron being used for the project. This allows for the soldering iron's handle to easily fit through the drilled hole.

• 5

  Flip the piece of wood over. Mark each point of the triangle 1 cm below the vertex.

• 6

  Drill a hole in each of the newly-marked points. Use a drill bit that's the same size as the width of the dowels. Slip a single dowel into each hole for the legs. Set the wood aside.

• 7

  Remove the base from the 2 liter plastic bottle and cut out the middle section with an Xacto knife. Position the base over the top side of the wooden base. Screw the base to the wood.

• 8

  Use silicone to fill any cracks, crevices or gaps in the black base. Pull the soldering iron up through the hole.

• 9

  Cut a piece from the bottom of the remaining 2-liter bottle that fits into the whole in the black piece.
