Step 1
Get your Ipad, first things first, you have to have an Ipad to build an Ipad stand
Step 2 - the Material
1. Buy some 3 mm thick Plexiglas (acrylic) or you can buy thicker, it must be 3 mm or more to have the stability to hold your Ipad.
2. Cut out a piece of the glass, I chose 150 mm X 60 mm
3. I masked the piece to prevent it from being scratched from the jigsaw
