I built myself a small little "phone holder" for my car. In the middle console, between the console and the shift stick, there is a little open compartment to store small things. I used the space to put my phone when driving, however it's impossible to throw a glance on the map when navigating when the phone is buried in a well. So I grabbed some off-cuts from my raised bed project, measured some critical dimensions in the car, and then cut the wood pieces with my mini bandsaw. I used cyanoacrylate (super glue) to put everything together. It holds remarkably well. Surprisingly well. I had to fix my work a few times and the glue was so strong I couldn't pull the parts apart. I had to use my saw at the seam. After all has been done I added some felt everywhere, so the phone doesn't slide in the curve and the whole doesn't rattle in the compartment.
