If you use books or magazines for reference when building a project in the shop, you know how quickly they can become victim to coffee spills, glue, sawdust, and more. That’s because they typically do their job lying down (on the workbench). Now you can protect them and have them stand tall while taking up less counter space with this custom holder. The angled back and support rely on a sliding dovetail system for easy adjustment front to back on the base in order to accommodate reference materials of various thicknesses up to 3". When you move the back forward, the publication becomes sandwiched between it and an 11×14" shielding piece of 1/8" thick clear acrylic, keeping it in mint condition.
