Dimensions

The finished book stand will have the following dimensions: Height 151mm (5 15/16in), Width 210mm (8 1/4in) and Length 183mm (7 3/16in).

 

This book stand is designed to hold an open book in a tilted position and has a practical feature to occupy very little space as it can be disassembled after use and put away. The drawing contains all the necessary dimensions to cut the parts. If you wish, you can easily change their shape to create a more attractive book stand model. You can decorate it with drawn motifs, patterns cut with a laser cutting machine, carving patterns etc.
