Materials: RIBBA, cable canal, saw, drill, sandpaper, paint
Description: I needed something to stand my tablet on while using it for controlling my music at home. We recently moved to a new apartment and had a bunch of spare RIBBA picture ledges lying around.
So I ended up sawing a piece of shelf to the width I wanted. Then I used the already present hole and drilled it with an 8 mm drill, just enough room for one of Apples lightning connectors to pass through. This is not really needed but it helps the charging cable not slip away when not in use.
I chose to glue on the top lid of a spare piece of cable canal as an inner step for standing the tablet in an almost upright position. But you could skip this part if you want. After a bit of sanding and painting the sides you're done. Dead simple!
This would work in smaller pieces for say an iPhone bed-side stand as well.

Wooww amazing!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, could you upload what did you do to hold the ipad mini like the last photo?
THanks!
That is so resourceful of you. You got a stand without paying a single penny.
ReplyDeleteJoan, the inner "step" for standing it like that was created by gluing the bottom part of a cable canal to the bottom part. It's basicly a plastic U-shaped piece of plastic. There are probably a bunch of things you could use to get the same effect. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteA stand... Does not make a dock. A dock is something that you can put your phone/tablet in single handedly in order to charge it.
ReplyDeleteA good idea for a stand maybe... But some people are being a little too liberal with the word dock.
