Laser-cut Paper Pad Hooks

Mostly because I could:

Laser-cut MDF paper hooks
Laser-cut MDF paper hooks

Another pair of hooks support the far end of the sketch paper pad, all hanging on the end of the shelves holding laser materials & tooling.

MDF isn’t particularly well-suited as a hook for anything weighing more than a dozen sheets of paper, but that pad is now out of the way where it won’t get curled.

The shape comes from a bunch of rectangles welded together in LightBurn, with the obvious corners rounded off for stylin’.

    Wouldn’t a modified paper clip be just as strong? Certainly quicker..

    But not as much fun :)
