The Apple iPad is one of the most successful consumer products of all time. They have sold nearly 20 million units. For a product that many would consider a luxury item that's pretty amazing. I am definitely a sucker for anything that blinks and makes noises. I bought the iPad 1 the day it was introduced. I loved the machine but that's no surprise. I'm a geek.My wife however is a technology skeptic and that's putting it mildly. She has always looked at computers as something you have to use to get work done. She would never consider buying a gadget especially one that costs $500. That completely changed when I bought her own iPad as a Christmas gift.
I took a big chance buying her something like that for Christmas. It could have easily turned into one of those gifts that gets me in the doghouse. When she opened it she looked more interested than I expected. At first she was unsure exactly what she would do with it. After a couple of weeks she turned into an iPad junkie. The iPad has a way of doing that to people. It really is the computer for everyone. Geeks loves it and technophobes understand it when they get it in their hands. My wife now carries her iPad everywhere she goes. She uses hers more than I use mine.
I wanted a nice wooden iPad stand so out in the shop I went tonight. I wanted something simple but I also wanted a little fretwork in it. This is what I came up with. It's a simple slot and tab design. You can make it a break down unit or glue it together like I did.
If this is a product you might decide to sell I left enough room at the top of the stand to add some customization like the buyers name. Just print out a stencil font from your computer and add it to the pattern.THANK YOU
I want to give a great big thank you to all of my readers in the United Kingdom who were kind enough to send my wife all the souvenirs from the Royal wedding. She was blown away by the response. Every day for the last several days she has had something in the mailbox from London. She has spent hours looking over all the magazines and papers. She has told everyone she knows about your kindness. She wanted me to tell you all how much she appreciated the gifts.
