How to Make your own iPad Headboard Boom? Resting the iPad on the chest is not the ideal position. It can lead to a cramped neck and strain to the eyes. Typing becomes difficult and even the slightest movement can knock it over. Installing a headboard is a much better option for iPad users. Let’s look at some DIY designs for mounting iPads that are easy to install and efficient to use 1. The Swinging Arm This simple design consists of an arm that makes use of timber that is one inch in width. There are bolts installed that allow the arm to have considerable movement. The basic concept is based on the ball and socket joint. The only problem in this design is the installing in the wall part. It is not so sturdy and could do with a wooden frame. If you happen to paint it in a dark hue it looks very pro.
2. The Swivel Arm This a much more professional design as it takes care of the instability of the first one. It can be mounted easily and the lighting fixture is similar to a drafting table. However, procuring an old light is a tough job, unless a spare is lying at home. It’s a good design for people on a tight budget.
