Lectern Woodworking Plans
A lectern is a type of stand that is typically used to hold a book or other object for reading aloud. Lecterns are commonly found in schools, churches, and other places where public speaking or reading is taking place.
There are many different ways to build a lectern. The following plans are for a simple, yet sturdy, lectern that can be made from a piece of plywood.
The lectern should be approximately 24” wide x 18” deep x 36” high.
Start by cutting the plywood to size. The front and back of the lectern should be approximately 24” wide x 18” high. The sides should be approximately 12” wide x 18” high.
Next, cut the notches in the front and back pieces that will house the sides. The notches should be approximately 2” wide x 1-1/2” deep.
Cut the angles in the front and back pieces that will form the top and bottom of the lectern. The angles should be approximately 30 degrees.
Next, cut the dadoes in the front, back, and sides that will house the shelf. The dadoes should be approximately 1-1/2” wide x 1/2” deep.
Assemble the lectern by attaching the sides to the front and back pieces using wood glue and 1-1/2” screws.
Attach the shelf to the lectern using wood glue and 1” screws.
Attach the top and bottom pieces to the lectern using wood glue and 1-1/2” screws.
Congratulations, you have just built a lectern!
