How to make it
Clamp the wood before sawing, and tap away from your hands with the screwdriver.
1Mark the slot
Draw a line 1 1/2 in from 1 end across the top. Draw another 1/2 in away.
2Angle the lines
Tilt both lines about 15 degrees back with the speed square. Phones lean better that way.
3Clamp it
Clamp the block so the marked area sticks out past the bench.
4Saw the 2 cuts
Saw down each line 3/4 in deep. Stop at the same depth on both.
5Knock out the middle
Knock out the waste with a flat screwdriver and hammer. Clean it up with sandpaper wrapped on a ruler.
6Sand and oil
Sand every edge round. Rub on oil and add felt pads.
Edie's tipTest the slot with your phone in its case before sanding. You might need it wider.
