Exercise Card Holder

[Kerry Burton]

Here's another item I made for my wife - about 6 months ago.

She was looking for a way to hold/display a small stack of exercise cards to support her varying morning routines. (She got tired of them being on the floor, or leaned up against a book, or....) She also said it would be nice if it were double-sided.

Hmmm...

Just wondering - does anybody else do their "best" design work on scraps of used paper?

Here's the all-glue, no-fasteners result in hardboard & MDF, with wood trim:

Whee!

Looks good! And useful.

 

[Ted Calver]

Well done

Nice straight forward designs serving a useful purpose. I'm at least as guilty as anyone of over engineering things and it's refreshing to see some nice functional pieces like this show up. Nice work!

A couple of quick Q's.

Did you CNC the hardboard? Also it looks like it might have been sealed some?

No CNC or sealing. I already can't re-visualize the process I used, but it was probably a combination of scroll saw and files. Maybe a Dremel in there somewhere?

 

[Ryan Mooney]

No CNC

Well you managed to land an impressive amount of precision in the similarity on those inside cutouts then

Seeing two projects in succession that you've built for your wife, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're buttering her up for a new major purchase, Kerry. What color is this new motorcycle going to be?

You might want to make her another - for holding the cookbook, etc. in the kitchen. Nice design, simple and adequate.
