i saw the fifty dollar game holder waste of money and thought "now hey, thats nifty but its sure not fifty dollars nifty." i gotta say im a do it yourself kind of person when it comes to easy stuff to make like this so ive made my own. saw another design that flickr user ronnsprocket made. i figured i didnt have the tools necessary to make what i did out of good wood but i had some balsa lying around.
heres a picture showing the ipod in the controller and with headphones in the outlet.
just the controller in this one. the stopper is whats just above the controller.
this was really easy to do. just take a piece of paper make a design you think suits you make sure you make the window large enough. number 11 exacto knife cuts straight through balsa. one sheet of 3/32 x 4 x 36 balsa. trace your design onto the sheet cut it out with your knife. mine ended up being six layers glued together. the front piece is a unique piece because of the window and head phone opening next four layers are cut out to fit the width (in landscape). back plate is one whole design cut out.glue it all together, sand it down you got yourself a controller for i dont know less than 10 or 15?
ill try to have more pictures of a step by step process and a template soon.
