If you like to play music on your cell phone you’ll find lots to love about this wooden phone amplifier. It provides an attractive platform to cradle your phone while playing music, and it boosts the sounds level by 8-10 dB (decibels) while also distributing the sound around the room using a megaphone style sound enhancement.

As an added bonus, the project includes clever cable routing so that the amplifier can also be used as a charging station.

Before starting any project, make sure your table saw and miter saw are cutting straight and square with this easy "one-board" test.
