I recently got a BlackBerry Playbook, and quite like it. However, I decided that it would be really nice to be able to prop it up on my desk. So I looked around the shop and found a scrap of 1×2 pine, made a few measurements, and started cutting. The first attempt had 2 notches, each a a different angle. Cut the notches with a scrollsaw, as that was fast & easy.
After using it for a bit I found that one of the angles was the best for me. Also found that the scrollsawed notches were a bit rough. So I made another set, shorter (4-1/2 inches), and cut with a dado blade on the table saw. Actually made 2 sets … figured that I may as well given the setup time involved.
