Hey guys, and welcome to this tutorial on how to make a wig head stand for your heads.
The wig head stand we are going to make is gonna stabilize your wig head, so when you
style your wigs it doesn't tilt to the sides.
First we are going to find the middle of our chosen wood, by measuring from corner to corner.
Mark the middle with an X
Then we are going to make our circle Which has an radius on 14 cm. Or to be more
specific the circle is in total 28 cm.
Then we are going to cut it out
To make sure that it is completely rounded you can sand around the edge, either by hand
or with help from a machine. And you can follow the line from the pencil from when we made
the circle.
To give the front or upside face a more smooth touch we are going to use a router with a
r:10 size.
the bottom, still needs that sharp edge, so it still has a stabilizing effect.
Then we go over to sand both sides with sandpaper 120
And you just do that to all of your pieces
Then we can do a final sanding at the edges with sandpaper 280
For the sticks you can use an old broom, I cut mine so they are 33cm each.
But since the holes in my wig heads where a little bit to small, we took a 30mm drill bit
to make the hole bigger.
Then you can check if it fits
Now we can drill a hole trough the middle of our plate, where we placed our X
And at the bottom we countersink a hole for the head of our screw, which is in my case
a Torx screw size 4.5 x 60
And also drill a hole at the bottom of your stick
Now it's time to put all the pieces together and for that we are going to use some
White wood glue
First we going to sand all the extra wood from when we drilled the hole away, then put
some white wood glue around the hole on the front face.
Then drill the screw slightly through the hole - put your stick on and drill the rest
of the screw in.
Then it's up to you where either you want to paint it or not,
but since I just love wood in general mine is gonna stay as it is.
