How do I clean a metal stand?

Wire wool works well on surface rust. Take a fine grade and rub gently back and forth over the affected patches. Once the loose rust is gone, wipe the frame down with a dry cloth. You can apply a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax to seal the bare metal against further moisture.

Cast iron versions belong in the garden. They tolerate rain and frost well. Keep wooden examples indoors. Damp ruins older timber joints quickly.

I have a mahogany stand with a loose top that rocks back and forth when you touch it, how can I secure the base?

A rocking top usually points to a loose joint in the central column or at the base block. Turn the piece over gently on a soft surface to inspect the underside. You often find a large wooden thread or a heavy metal rod holding the whole structure together. Try tightening any visible nuts or wooden collars clockwise to see if the wobble stops.

The metal liner on my wooden jardiniere is missing and water keeps dripping down the legs, what should I replace it with?

You have a couple of sensible options. Many people commission a local metalworker to fold a new zinc or copper tray to the exact internal dimensions of the void. Alternatively, you can just use a standard plastic gravel tray. It sits hidden inside the wooden gallery and does exactly the same job catching the moisture without costing very much.
