How to Make a Dual Cell Phone Holder with Proxxon MICROMOT Tools

 We have a variety of cell phones in our home, and it seems as though a favorite place for surfing the web is at the breakfast bar in our kitchen. This dual cell phone holder is great because it accommodates two different cell phone profiles, and leaves a small footprint when not it use.

Here are the supplies and tools that you'll need:

• 4" x 3" x 1/4" or 3/8" hardwood blank
• Proxxon Bandsaw MBS/E or Proxxon Scroll Saw DS 460
• Proxxon Pensander PS 13
• MICROMOT Flexishaft 110/BF
• Dual Cell Phone Holder Template
• Felt polishing tip

Step-by-step Instructions:

1. Use calipers to measure the thickness of the cell phones—with cases, if appropriate—you plan to use the dual cell phone holder with. Print the Dual Cell Phone Holder Template as a guide, making measurement adjustments as indicated.
   
   
   
2. Mount the pattern on the wood blank. Cover one side of the blank with painter's tape. Mist the back side of the pattern with spray adhesive, and mount on the taped blank. The painter's tape made removal of the pattern easy without leaving any sticky residue. 
   
   
   
3. Cut the pattern using the bandsaw or scroll saw.
   
   
   
4. Use the pensander to sand the edges of the cell phone holder. The pensander is the perfect tool for sanding narrow spaces.
   
   
   
5. Apply the finish of your choice to the cell phone holder. I used a wax finish and buffed the surface using the flexishaft and felt polishing tips.
   
   
   
6. Enjoy!!
