Razor Stand From Spoon and Fork and Spiced With Magnet

## DIY Razor Stand from Spoon and Fork with Magnet

#### Materials Needed:

1. **Spoon** - 1 (preferably stainless steel)

2. **Fork** - 1 (preferably stainless steel)

3. **Magnet** - 1 (small, strong magnet such as a neodymium magnet)

4. **Epoxy Glue or Super Glue**

5. **Pliers** - 2 pairs (one for holding, one for bending)

6. **Sandpaper or Metal File** - for smoothing edges

7. **Ruler** - for measuring

8. **Marker** - for marking bending points

#### Steps:

1. **Preparation:**

  - Clean the spoon and fork thoroughly to remove any grease or dirt.

  - Gather all materials and tools on a flat work surface.

2. **Marking Bend Points:**

  - Use a ruler and marker to mark the bending points on the spoon and fork. 

  - On the spoon, mark about 1 inch from the bowl (this will be the base that supports the stand).

  - On the fork, mark the bending point about 2 inches from the prongs (this will form the holder for the razor).

3. **Bending the Spoon:**

  - Using the pliers, carefully bend the spoon at the marked point to a 90-degree angle. The handle should be bent upwards, forming the stand's base.

4. **Bending the Fork:**

  - Use pliers to bend the fork at the marked point to a 90-degree angle.

  - Further bend the fork handle into a slight curve to create a cradle shape that will hold the razor.

  - If needed, use the second pair of pliers to refine the bends and shape.

5. **Smoothing Edges:**

  - Use sandpaper or a metal file to smooth any rough edges or sharp points on the spoon and fork to prevent injury and for a cleaner look.

6. **Attaching the Fork to the Spoon:**

  - Position the fork's prongs so they will face upwards when attached to the spoon.

  - Apply epoxy glue or super glue to the contact point where the fork and spoon will be joined.

  - Firmly press the fork and spoon together and hold for a few minutes to ensure the glue sets. Allow the glue to cure completely as per the glue manufacturer's instructions.

7. **Adding the Magnet:**

  - Decide on the best position for the magnet, typically at the base of the spoon, to keep the stand stable on a metallic surface.

  - Apply a small amount of epoxy or super glue to one side of the magnet and attach it to the base of the spoon.

  - Ensure the magnet is securely attached and allow the glue to cure completely.

8. **Final Touches:**

  - Check the stability of the stand and make any necessary adjustments to the bends and shapes of the spoon and fork.

  - Clean any excess glue and polish the stand for a finished look.

#### Tips:

- If the spoon or fork is difficult to bend, consider heating them slightly with a torch to make the metal more pliable (use caution and proper safety gear).

- Ensure the magnet is strong enough to hold the stand firmly in place but not so strong that it makes moving the stand difficult.

Your custom razor stand is now ready to use! The spoon provides a sturdy base, the fork holds the razor, and the magnet ensures it stays in place on metallic surfaces.
