Sharing the first ever project built using this platform and using "wood-working tools" to help a friend out with their hand mobility issue. They suffer from neck nerve damage and hand arthritis. They wanted to use their tablet and tap out messages, etc with a stylus from their chair that supports their neck. They tried online products that claimed to not vibrate when texting on their iphone without direct hand support. The stand did not work. Then, they tried a multi-directional arm used by quadrapaligics and this was not stable enough. So whala...retrofitted the previously failed stand with a simple, adjustable, yet rigid tablet stand.

Alas, I took more pictures of the fixturing to harness my poor, inexpensive wood working tools, then of the final product. But it was fun trying to figure out how to keep the design simple so I (a novice) could manufacture it and then figure out how to manufacture it without spending much. My build equipment consisted of a rigid drill, a flipped over upcycled dining room table taken from the neighbor's garbage (lucky find) used as a work table, scraps for shimming and fixturing, and a variety of screw lengths for clamping when I could not get my 4 inch C-clamps to fit or work with clamping down the very round, no square pieces.
