These were intended to be Christmas gifts but life happened and I’m just now getting them done. They are travel phone stands they come apart easily to lay flat in your luggage.
It was quite a learning experience. I started these just a month after getting my first CNC machine.
The Prototype – No CNC
Laying out the cutout tabs I used my drill press then band saw to rough cut the tabs The radius of the rounder over bit I used was much too large. It made the gap in the face plate for the kickstand too wide. So the kick stand had to be much longer than I had intended in order to make it stand at the right angle. No stain, just some teak oil and satin poly I eventually engraved the vertical piece and gave it to my wife. I may shim the bottom side of the kick stand later so I can shorten it. It’s way too long but I wanted to move on at this point so I called this one done, for now.
Prototype 2.0 w/CNC
Travel Phone Stands 3.0
I finally got them mailed out yesterday along with some Christmas ornaments I made. They should all get them tomorrow the 4th. Only a little overdue heh heh.
Merry Christmas everybody!
