Wooden phone stand: drawings, master classes, photos

Translation of the drawing

For me, drawing translation has always been the main process in my work. I will tell you a couple of rules, as well as tips for high-quality translation of a drawing. Many people transfer the drawing onto plywood not only using a pencil and copying, but also using “Black Tape”, glue the drawing to the plywood, then wash off the drawing with water and the markings of the drawing remain on the plywood. In general, there are many ways, but I will tell you about the most common method. To transfer the drawing onto prepared plywood, you must use a copy, a ruler, a sharp pencil and a non-writing pen. Fasten the drawing in plywood using buttons or simply hold it with your left hand. Check if the drawing fits the dimensions. Arrange the clock drawing so that you can use a sheet of plywood as economically as possible. Translate the drawing using a non-writing pen and ruler. There is no need to rush, because your future craft depends on the drawing.

Varnishing crafts

If desired, you can transform our craft by covering it with Wood Varnish, preferably colorless. Read how best to varnish a craft. Try to choose a quality varnish. Varnishing is carried out using a special brush “For glue”. Take your time. Try not to leave visible marks or scratches on the craft.

Arrangement in a home greenhouse

Briefly about how to make a flower stand.

First, decide where the stand will be located: on a windowsill, on the wall of a balcony, just on a tripod in the courtyard of a country house or cottage.

Then decide on the materials: metal rods - they require welding, a little simpler - a wooden frame stand mounted on some wall. Next, watch the video to see how it’s easier to do.

Useful tips

Several recommendations will help you avoid difficulties during your work:

• The phone is prevented from sliding by installing a small locking bar;
• Sanding the entire stand is not necessary, but rough spots under the phone will scratch the body or case;
• before creating a complex stand, it is worth making a draft - a rough layout, to determine the exact dimensions and possible errors;
• the groove in the workpiece is made to a depth of no more than half of the total thickness.

As with any craft made from wood, you may not get the phone stand right the first time. The most common problem is an incorrectly sized indentation that prevents the phone from holding. There is nothing scary about this - a bad experience will help in future work.

How to avoid these inconveniences at home or at work

A modern gadget has many functions besides telephone communication. Plus a dozen more necessary digital things: graphic editing, the Internet, a notebook or pocket computer (organizer), TV and music player and more.

A lot of time is spent searching for a charger and headphones. And at least at home they should be next to the mobile phone on the same stand.

Below are clear instructions on how to make a stand with your own hands.

Use your imagination and select materials. If you don’t want to purchase neat and expensive factory-made coasters.

Types of stands

Stands may vary in material used. The following options are available:

1. Metal. This accessory is characterized by high strength, wear resistance and a long service life. At the same time, it is difficult to make it yourself, and the cost of finished products will be the highest.
2. Tree. Quite popular and more accessible material. Bamboo and ash are most often used to make holders. They can be either painted and decorated, or have an accentuated natural wood texture.
3. Ceramics. These stands have an elegant appearance, but are extremely fragile. They often have a bizarre and original shape, such as animals or geometric shapes.
4. Textile. A convenient home option, which is a small pillow of a special shape or a soft toy.
5. Plastic. This material is universal. Holders of any shapes and colors are made from it.
6. Paper. The most accessible material for self-production, which does not have high performance indicators.

A necessary accessory will be a homemade and original phone stand.
Note! The stand does not have to look like a free-standing structure. Often it is attached directly to the phone or its case.

The following types of stands can be distinguished depending on their purpose:

1. Tabletop. They fix devices of different sizes, which makes them universal. They usually take the form of a plate mounted on a table and a clamp that serves to hold the gadget.
2. Universal. Such holders have a flexible mount that allows them to be installed on various surfaces. They can be used anywhere.
3. Automotive. They can either take the form of a holder suitable for a smartphone of a certain size, or contain a magnetic mount. Its second part is glued to the phone body, providing reliable fixation while moving.

It is simply impossible to imagine a modern person without a smartphone or telephone.

Note! Stands can be made in different styles, so it is advisable to choose them based on the design features of the room where they will be located.

Drawings of a wooden phone stand

This option is suitable for those who need functionality without excesses. A ready-made scheme is the fastest and most convenient way. Before starting work, print out a drawing or sketch of a wooden phone stand and work with the workpiece, observing the specified dimensions.

The dimensions can be taken as a basis for constructing your own drawings

If the dimensions are not suitable, they can be changed proportionally; the main thing is that the groove continues to hold the device. Some schemes are initially designed for flagship models with a wide display - if you have a more compact device, you can safely reduce the parameters.

PVC

80 percent of apartment chemicals are bottled in PVC. Find an empty and flat one, or better yet a 0.5 liter semi-oval one. Wash well. Measure 24 cm from the bottom and cut off the entire top.

Take the back part as the sole of a slipper and cut it off so that a full slipper comes out. The recess of the container will become a pocket for the gadget.

Above, “on the heel of the slipper,” cut out a window. You will insert the plug of the mobile phone charger through it. The “slipper stand” with the gadget will hang on it.

You can paint the toe of the stand with paints at your discretion or cover it with prints. Look at the picture.

From fabric

The shape is a soft pillow. This business is for women. Cut a square of textile 10 cm longer than the vertical of the smartphone. Then fold the fabric in half to create a rectangle.

Sew the bottom part using a machine or by hand, carefully place the remaining padding polyester or cotton wool there, twisting them into a roll. This will be the heel on which the smartphone will rest. Next, also lay a line behind it.

From there, about four centimeters, smooth out the bottom and front side and back of your rectangle of fabric, and stitch again.

Up to this part of the pad, stitch from bottom to top at the junction of the strips, and also from above. Only the space for stuffing the top of the pad with synthetic padding will remain open. Close it with a seam too.

But unusual. You will have to trim it further so that when sewn together you get a triangle, with an acute angle downwards. This is the leg of the pad, and the smartphone rests semi-vertically on the wide part.

The stand is mostly ready. All that remains is to stitch or attach a pocket for the charger with Velcro. Now you will be surprised how you managed to make the stand yourself so quickly.

How to make a phone stand out of wood

Before starting work, you need to prepare the foundation. You can process it in several ways:

• using a router - fix it on the rails, align it on both sides;
• miter or circular saw;
• with a simple hand tool for wood.

A telephone is placed on the finished block. The distance between the future recess and the back side should be a couple of centimeters greater than the length of the device.

The next stage is creating a fixing recess. It is recommended to make the groove not too deep. If you have no experience, it is better to make a rough cut, install a smartphone and make improvements until it is completely stable.

The surface of the stand is sanded with sandpaper. If you have a tool, it is recommended to round the corners - this way the stand will look aesthetically pleasing and neat, even in a simple design. The surface can be coated with colorless oil, or given the desired shade.

Simple phone stand for wooden table

The basic version looks the most minimalistic - the device will be small and universal. Wood is a classic material, so the product will fit into any interior; the stand will look good both at home and on the office desk.

Advice! A simple wood phone stand project is the best way to practice. You should not take expensive types of wood as a workpiece; an ordinary beam or board will do.

You can focus on one phone model or several devices. For example, make cross grooves along and across the workpiece. The narrow slot will fit a smartphone, and the wide slot will fit a tablet or e-reader.

Sophisticated phone holder made of wood

A complex design is a way to turn an object that is simple in its purpose into an interesting element of the interior. The stand in this case can be made of several parts. One example is a design based on the principle of a photo frame. One surface fixes the device, the other serves as a support.

There are two popular options:

1. The recesses are cut to fit the size of the phone. When placed in the stand, the smartphone looks like a glove - the screen is flush with the wooden surface. Additionally, you can make a recess for the charging cable. The stand looks impressive, but requires careful preparation - the dimensions must match perfectly. It is difficult to make it without a router the first time - numerous modifications will be required.
2. Two planks are placed at an angle. One serves as a support for both the entire structure and the bottom of the phone. The second is installed obliquely. One of the advantages is that the stand can be made wide, suitable for any devices; holders for accessories or office supplies are placed in the free space.

When preparing for work, special attention should be paid to the final processing of the product.
The workpiece is initially selected from high-quality wood species - for example, to match the shades of the interior. The surface is treated with impregnation and varnish. Attention! When working with paints and varnishes, you must follow the safety rules indicated on the containers.

Original phone stand on a wooden table

The vertical surface can be further highlighted by giving it a bizarre shape - as much as your imagination allows. If you have tools and a piece of sufficient thickness, you can make it in the form of a hand holding the device.

You can detail the holding part in any way - give it an interesting shape, decorate it

The functionality can be expanded and slots can be made for other small devices - a holder for a watch, a stylus. Wood is easy to process, so there will be no difficulties in improving the design.

The finished phone stand can be painted and a logo applied using a laser or burner - a way to turn the product into a custom work of art.

Advantages

Coasters of any type are one of the most popular homemade products in a modern home. They are needed everywhere: in the kitchen, in the workshop, at the desk and even in the bedroom. Stands help organize your workspace, provide convenience and comfort, and also protect furniture from accidental damage.

Any material can be used to make stands, but often home craftsmen use wood. The advantages of structures directly follow from the properties of the material:

• ease of processing of workpieces;
• low cost;
• beautiful appearance of the product;
• durability when properly processed;
• functionality.
