• A length of square steel tube with inner dimensions big enough to hold your pens/pencils/stationery
• Files
• Hacksaw
• Spray paint (optional)
• 12 gauge steel sheet
• Welder
• Appropriate safety equipment
• Bench vice
Step 1: Cut the steel tube into four sections, with each piece a bit shorter than the last. File (or grind) the top and bottom of each piece smooth. Try to stand the pieces up; continue filing the bottoms until the pieces stand straight up without wobbling.
Step 2: Cut a rectangle from 12 gauge sheet steel. This will be the base. File all the edges smooth. By placing the sections of tubing on the base you can get a pretty good idea of what the finished product will look like.
