Crayon/pen holder

[iteles]

It would be very useful to have crayon/pen holder as these are continuously rolling off tables when in use.

This is the inspiration:

I know these are done on a CNC machine rather than laser cut so ours won't be 'as pretty' because they'll have burn marks and I'm in no way going to sand down each hole. But they'll be functional and look good, especially if you're not comparing it directly to this one 😅

I was thinking I would:

• Measure the diameter we need
• Make a file with a few holes in slightly different sizes to test
• Cut one or two test pieces to see which size hole works best IRL
• Cut the holes right through one sheet of 10mm wood (which type is tbd with those who know best like @nelsonic )
• Stick it to another 10mm rectangle of wood (cut at the same time obviously) to serve as the base

@iteles this would be very quick to make; how many holes are needed?
I would make a template on the laser so that the holes are all in the exact right place.
But then drill them out on column drill and finish on the sander.
We could also easily make this out of a solid block of wood (as opposed to 10mm plywood) if preferred ...
