When Wally was in elementary school, he had an assignment to make a product and sell it. He had to do every step of the project from conceiving the product, manufacturing it, and selling it. Wally's product was a book holder made from PVC pipe. He completed his assignment successfully, and then he and Theo also made them for Christmas gifts that year. I used mine mostly to hold cookbooks while I was following a recipe in the kitchen. Over time, we stopped using the holder and only kept one of the several we had when we moved. And this was mostly for nostalgia reasons.

Note: I'm not sure that this example is going to do anything to help my difficulty in releasing clutter that might be useful some day. But I'm working on it.
Useful in a variety of situations! That's a great tool!
ReplyDeleteThe legs will actually swing in and out for different sizes of things which makes it especially useful.
DeleteThere are all kinds of holders out there these days for a variety of electronic devices, but this one works. It's good to see my kids using what is already around instead of buying everything new.
This is great! That is a well-designed product! I'm glad you kept it and it came in useful, again. :)
ReplyDeleteWally always was good at building things and had a lot of fun when he was younger with every building set imaginable. I volunteered at a thrift shop and got him many different kinds so it made sense that his project would be something like this.
DeleteThat is so clever!
ReplyDeleteAnd when he's done with it, the whole thing comes apart and stores neatly in a small amount of space.
Yes, it does store easily. We usually have it in a zip lock bag when not in use.
DeleteLooks handy. Add a hook and adjustable hanger be great to watch a tablet movie in bed
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I'll look forward to seeing your version.
