Floppy Disk Dock

A dock made from old 3.5 floppy disks. This dock could be used for anything that you need a dock for. (iPod, iPhone, Zune...)

Step 1Step 1

Ok so you need 6 floppy disks that you will never miss. (this means if you have files on their you want, get them off, in my case I do not even have a floppy drive any more, and i think these disks are all like 10 years old)

One disk is an extra incase one breaks while cutting.

Two two of the disks, make a notch that is halfway down the width of the disk and halfway into the length of the disk. Also make sure one long side of each of these two disks has a hold in it. (i found my drill press worked nice for that)

One disk will have to be shortened up a bit.

One disk will need holes in each corner.

One disk is good as is.

So Im glad that everyone is looking at my post, but seriously, its not about the keyboard. I don't want some flame war started. Anyone have any comments about the dock aspect of my post, any suggestions on how to make it better? I have been using it everyday now and I still like it allot. And by the way, if your getting carpal tunnel in high school... you need to learn how to properly type / use a keyboard.
