How to Attach Feet or Skirt on Wood Cello Stand? - overland - 08-29-2018
I'd like to build a wood cello stand for my son. It's a simple thing: an open box, padded on the inside, that the cello rests in upright when it's not being played. One detail is that the box has got to sit above the floor a couple inches because there's a hole in the middle to accept the cello's end pin. Usually there's a skirt around the bottom that holds it up a little, or feet at the corners that essentially look like part of a skirt. Both not only hold the box up a little, they also stick out a little ways beyond the sides, probably to add stability. My question is this: how should I attach them--either the skirt or the feet--so they don't get knocked off?

My choice would be bracket feet like you see on dressers.
You could make a skirt for the bottom with a moulding detail and attach them to it.

How about nice, decorative brass casters?

Or just two cross pieces capped at the end with paw castings:

Google "wooden cello stand". There are many examples out there that should give you ideas.

Have not researched these cases, but a skirt with the legs cut in it could be mitered together with a rabbet around the inside top that the case rests in.
The rabbet would allow for a firm glue surface, and dowels run through the joint from the inside.
