Published in American Woodturner



My Multiaxis Tablet Stand article has been published
in the June 2016 issue of American Woodturner.

(Vol. 31, no. 3 - Journal of the American Association of Woodturners)




And what an honor to have it published
in the issue celebrating AAW's 30th anniversary.




This is Julie's iPad resting against the top level of her prop stand.




This photo shows her iPad resting on one of the lower levels.

(overhead lighting can cause glare -
 the multiaxis design allows for different screen angles)




These tablet stands were finished using 
Annie Sloan chalk paint and clear wax.


Thank you AAW for sharing my article with your readers.
