Easy to make stand for small tablet... Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 shown.

Great video. I like that you gave measurements and instructions as you went along. I was looking for a project for a gift, I made one from wood in my scrap bucket. I like the design and the contrast between the light and dark wood. Simple and elegant. Thanks.

Hi Ron This is a great little "stocking filler" for Christmas. Intend to make at least five. Your detail on such a small project is much appreciated. I'm still a newbie and it's fantastic to find a project that's not intimidating. Greetings from Sydney, Australia.

[@mDiago6200]

Wow! This is so nice, simple and functional. I want one.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

I am subscribed to many many woodworking channels but have no real ability... but this, so simple, yet elegant, might just have a go!

[@richardebbole1]

we're checking you out Ronald... all in good fun

[@BronkBuilt]

Nice job. Looks really nice.

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Really nice design. Great job Ron.

[@gwheyduke]

Great video, going to have to make a couple of those!

[@Sascha_1977]

just simple, clever and smart 👍

[@IsaacFloresGarcia]

Heyy!!!! Muchas gracias por compartir. Excelente trabajo!!

[@deminshine1]

Great tip with the washers thanks :)

[@JeremyCook]

Very nice work. Maybe I'll make something similar for my cell phone!

[@thehasanrohat]

Nice work

[@SNC2319]

That looks similar to what I’ve been building, Great minds think alike.

[@campbejouc]

nice work

[@holee2319]

This is by far the best and easiest design! Thanks, I made several today inspired by yours.

@@RonaldWalters2010 it really is the easiest design, I watched all the other videos! Subscribed!

[@azyfloof]

Very nice, Ronald! Super fancy :) As an added bonus, drill a blind hole in the bottom with a forstner bit and sink in a 1/4" 20 threaded nut. Now you have a tripod mount! :D

[@JeremyCook]

Clever, what do you mean "sink in?" Glue, or are you talking about pressing it in and using interference to keep it there?

[@danalaniz7314]

The end product is really nice! Thanks for all the exact instructions, measurements and tips. In my opinion your video is absolutely one of the best I have seen for a tablet stand or really for any wood working project. I'm just a beginner and I've watched around 50 project videos in the last few weeks. Most lack measurements, basic instructions and tips. Some don't include a narration at all. I will definitely subscribe and check out your other videos. Thanks for posting.

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Thank you very much! Ron

[@joewelling3278]

Ron, I enjoyed your video and it inspired me to make some for some close friends and family for the holidays

[@RonaldWalters2010]

I'm sure the recipients will find them very useful. They be appreciated even more because they were handmade by you.

[@BigWingUK]

You seem to have a heck of a wobble on your drill bit! Is the bit slightly bent?

[@RonaldWalters2010]

I knew someone would say something about that. :-) Fairly annoying! Brand new out of the box hex shank drill bit from Lee Valley. Wasn't a very critical hole and I was too lazy to edit it out.

[@thomassmith4616]

I made all the parts last night, researched Kindle thickness 0.4, getting Kindle in few days, adjusting the front support for 1/2 inch. adjust the parts for your customization, only screwing the back upright support in until I see how the Kindle fits before gluing.

[@malikjunaid1]

something most needed when I am relaxing, but would love to have possibility of multiple tilt levels and a mechanism to grip the tab.

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Really intended for someone (my wife) laying in bed watching a movie, so if it falls over no harm... but it is quite stable. One tilt angle fits all. :-)

[@DIYwithsiliconemoldsworldwide]

Great

[@soonersciencenerd383]

nice stand, nice handywork, but the wobble..... do you use anything to keep your stand from "migrating" around your table? im going to make something like this, using my scrap basswood.

[@RonaldWalters2010]

There is no wobble. You could use 4 self adhesive silicone feet on the bottom. I call them fish eyes.

[@soonersciencenerd383]

didn't know. i just started woodworking, using non-electric tools, trying to learn the basics.

Hello Luis. Thank you for watching and your comment. Please subscribe. That is what keeps this channel running. Ron

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Appreciate the measurements. In retrospect do you think the glue would have been strong enough or are the screws necessary?

[@RonaldWalters2010]

I used Baltic Birch Plywood and the veneer can be pretty thin. Even with solid wood, if the item is dropped (and it probably will be) it can pop loose. The glue holds it in place allowing easy insertion of the screws. Then it is there to stay. Thanks for watching and for your comments. Please subscribe! That is what keeps this channel going. Ron

[@thomassmith4616]

I checked the fit for 10 inch Kindle on this plan, going to lengthen the base and deeper front to back to have the upright twice as high, I will send photo and math to keep the 22.5 angle, some day.

[@taranagnew436]

will it work for a samsung tablet?

[@RonaldWalters2010]

You have been told it works for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. You have the dimensions of the stand. Measure your unit and figure it out.

[@mcconvilleliam501]

where did you buy the round over bit

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Wherever they sell router bits. Common item.

[@taranagnew436]

Can you use wood from a tree and what can you use to round out the edges if you don't have the machine the rounds out the edges?

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Yes you can use wood (or plastic). Edges can be rounded by hand with a file and/or sandpaper.

[@thomassmith4616]

You must have used A/C grade, I did one with CDX and have rough top, I could use orbital sander.

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Construction grade plywood is not very good. MDF would probably be a better choice. I used Baltic Birch Plywood. It has more plies that construction grade, both sides are good, the glue is better, it is flat and has nearly zero voids.

[@thomassmith4616]

@@RonaldWalters2010 I scrapped the plywood and did the base and upright with Zebrawood and Purple Heart for the front bar.

[@lenny877]

How much for that ?

[@RonaldWalters2010]

I do not sell them. You would need to make your own.

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Watch the video. Dimensions (in inches) are clearly given throughout the video... although a couple of them may be stated in English. The width of the 1/2" plywood being cut on the table saw is 3-1/2". Thanks for watching. Ron

Not sure what you are saying. If you are referring to subtitles covering the video text... you can drag the subtitles out of the way temporarily.
