Phone Stands
My last project in the current shop was a couple of cell phone holders. I have done one in the past but this time I cut out a butterfly on the top of it. The other was an easel that proved to be more complicated that I had hoped. The size of the easel made the angles very shallow and I did not want to feel like it was going to fall over. The other thing that I did not realize was the dimensions of the stock. I originally went with 5/8” thick stock but that looked too thick, but ½” was too narrow to hold the phone. I actually needed to be creative to make the ledge look thinner than it actually was. That is what angles are for.
The tricky part was the drilling the holes. I drilled one and then used tape and super
glue to hold it all together to make sure all the holes lined up. It actually worked really well. This was a lot of compound angles. For the most part I sanded to a line. The project made me think a lot about the
angles and order of operations.
