Step 1: Get the materials

For this instructable you are going to need some easy materials that you can find around the house or at your local hardware store.

1) The super awesome GORILLA GLUE

2) Some old hard cover books that you dont mind destroying and gluing together, enough of them to cover the bracket.

3) An L bracket, about a 4 inch, you will also need screws, probally about 3 or 4

4) A Knife or razor, whatever you prefer.

5) Screws, they will be attaching the bracket, so make sure they are good.

6) Rubber Cement and a ruler and a pencil

7) Masking tape.

My total cost that i came up with was .......... 15 Dollars! Wow, What a Deal!! Almost every book was $3 or less. Yup, That cheap. I got the books at a surplus store. I had the GORILLA GLUE and rubber cement. I bought the bracket from home depot for....... under 5 I think? Not sure, but i think thats what it was. So i think this is great for a cool project on a tight budget. Good Luck!
