An umbrella stand is an wonderful spindle project! Think of the length of an umbrella and you can already envision a spindle in matching length. This is a great project for tiding up your closet and holding all your umbrellas in one spot.
Umbrella Stand by Teknatool, a Woodturning Online sponsor
In this project, the team at Teknatool take on the project of creating an umbrella stand. They make it in 3 pieces so it's not a difficult project. It has a faceplate turned bottom that sits on the floor, a central spindle and then another faceplate turning with seriers of holes to drop your umbrella into. This is someone that everyone should own!
