DIY iPad Stand

I got so excited about DIY iPad projects, that I didn’t want to stop with the world’s coolest carrying case.  I read Crunch Gear’s Top 10 DIY iPad Projects and thought that my carpenter boyfriend could easily re-create (using better wood) the $5 iPad dock.  Here are the process photos and there are more on my Flickr page:

Pick wood from the shop supply:

Set up the angle cut that will hold the ipad:

Sand the piece:

Apply a finish…we used teak oil for lack of linseed oil.

Tada!

But when we put the ipad in the stand, we thought it looked a little wide:

So Drew trimmed it down:

And we were finished:

And, I think that the leftover trimmed pieces make a good stand on their own:

Hooray for carpenters!
