Bamboo Phone Holder
WHAT YOU
NEED:
- Wide
piece of bamboo or a hollow piece of wood (bamboo should have a solid natural
ring in the middle of it).
- Chisel
- Drill
- Sand
paper
- An oldie
to help!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Put
bamboo in a vice to hold it steady.
2. Measure
the bottom of your Dad’s phone so you know how big to make the slot in the
bamboo.
3. Mark the
four corners of the area you need to cut out in the bamboo.
4. Drill a
hole on each corner of the area you are removing from the bamboo then drill
several holes around the edge of the area you are removing so that they all
join. The inside of the area you want to get rid of should fall out (make sure
your oldie helps out here!)
5. Get a
small rasp or sand paper and smooth out the hole so your Dad’s cell phone fits
in nicely.v
6. Next cut
the ends of the bamboo at angles to give it a funky look, use a hand saw (make
sure your oldie helps out here!)
6. Use a
chisel or saw across the bottom to make it flat so it sits up-right (make sure
your oldie helps out here!)
7. Sand
where ever it needs smoothing.
You could
even engrave your Dad’s name or a message into the bamboo using a small chisel.
