Wooden Phone Holder and Charging Station

this is built for any phone. if you are designing this for a tablet for example an ipad, follow step 2 but move the slots 3cm left. this changes to allow the centre of gravity to be in the centre of the holder.

you will need:

- any type of wood that's 50mm high. you can sandwich two pieces together if it isn't 50mm in height.

- (if sandwiching together, use PVA or another wood glue).

- a coping saw

- a rectangular file

- sand paper

- oil and a brush

- drill and 7mm drill bit. (you need a circular saw bit)

using a ruler, mark a square onto a piece of wood that is 50mm high. use a band saw, coping saw, table saw or tenon saw to cut out the block. draw a circle with a diameter of 90mm.

use the x method to find the centre and insert into a pillar drill vice. insert a 64mm circular bit and drill down.

when this I done, use a saw to cut the second circle.

chamfer the edges so there is a thickness of 10mm on the top. the chamfer should start 2.5 from the top. use a file or coping saw.

mark on 7.5mm both away from the diameter so you have a 15mm gap on both sides of the hole cut. use the picture if not sure.

use a coping saw to cut two slits 15mm deep.

this bit is probably going to take much longer then the other steps.

use a file and sand paper to get the best finish you can and make sure you also remember to do the bottom.

when the surface is very smooth and you are sure you are finished. pour some oil into a cup and use a brush to apply the oil onto the surface.

use a brush to apply the oil smoothly and evenly. wait until the oil dries and then add another coat if you want.
