Stylish Mounted Keyboard Storage from a Cheap Magazine Holder

Step 2 (Measure Measure Measure)*2

This Step is mostly measuring.

1.) Find where you want your holder to go on the surface.
2.) If doing this for a Significant Other, obtain the all-important Spousal-acceptance factor before moving on.
3.) Use the level to get an idea of how the tray should look when level. If possible, get a small clamp, or other person to hold the magazine holder while you continue.
4.) Mark a small circle on the inside of the magazine holder where you want the screw holes to go using the sharpie.
5.) Ensure these marks look right.
6.) Double check.
7.) Once satisfied, mark a cutting area just large enough for the machine screw to pass through, but no larger. The hole looks neater if you cut a diamond pattern out. The mesh naturally makes diamond patterns if mark correctly.
8.) Make certain the holes you cut line up to where you want to drill into your surface. Use the level and assistance if necessary.
9.) Use the Di-cutters and cut the patterns in the mesh of the magazine holder out. Double check that the screw can go through these holes cleanly.
