Great video. I like that you gave measurements and instructions as you went along. I was looking for a project for a gift, I made one from wood in my scrap bucket. I like the design and the contrast between the light and dark wood. Simple and elegant. Thanks.
Hi Ron This is a great little "stocking filler" for Christmas. Intend to make at least five. Your detail on such a small project is much appreciated. I'm still a newbie and it's fantastic to find a project that's not intimidating. Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
The end product is really nice! Thanks for all the exact instructions, measurements and tips. In my opinion your video is absolutely one of the best I have seen for a tablet stand or really for any wood working project. I'm just a beginner and I've watched around 50 project videos in the last few weeks. Most lack measurements, basic instructions and tips. Some don't include a narration at all. I will definitely subscribe and check out your other videos. Thanks for posting.
Very nice, Ronald! Super fancy :) As an added bonus, drill a blind hole in the bottom with a forstner bit and sink in a 1/4" 20 threaded nut. Now you have a tripod mount! :D
Really good looking stand. Thanks for the measurements and instructions I made one myself for my daughterand it is really awesome, she loves it. Thanks man!
I made all the parts last night, researched Kindle thickness 0.4, getting Kindle in few days, adjusting the front support for 1/2 inch. adjust the parts for your customization, only screwing the back upright support in until I see how the Kindle fits before gluing.
Muy bueno fabrique 4 y los vendi al final me siguieron pidiendo y sigo fabricando gracias por enseñarlo soy de chile un saludo afectuoso my name is luis
Really intended for someone (my wife) laying in bed watching a movie, so if it falls over no harm... but it is quite stable. One tilt angle fits all. :-)
I checked the fit for 10 inch Kindle on this plan, going to lengthen the base and deeper front to back to have the upright twice as high, I will send photo and math to keep the 22.5 angle, some day.
I used Baltic Birch Plywood and the veneer can be pretty thin. Even with solid wood, if the item is dropped (and it probably will be) it can pop loose. The glue holds it in place allowing easy insertion of the screws. Then it is there to stay. Thanks for watching and for your comments. Please subscribe! That is what keeps this channel going. Ron
nice stand, nice handywork, but the wobble..... do you use anything to keep your stand from "migrating" around your table? im going to make something like this, using my scrap basswood.
I knew someone would say something about that. :-) Fairly annoying! Brand new out of the box hex shank drill bit from Lee Valley. Wasn't a very critical hole and I was too lazy to edit it out.
Construction grade plywood is not very good. MDF would probably be a better choice. I used Baltic Birch Plywood. It has more plies that construction grade, both sides are good, the glue is better, it is flat and has nearly zero voids.
Watch the video. Dimensions (in inches) are clearly given throughout the video... although a couple of them may be stated in English. The width of the 1/2" plywood being cut on the table saw is 3-1/2". Thanks for watching. Ron
