I'd like to give it a go.
I'm wondering what materials I should use?
wood preferably, because it will be hard for me to work metal, unless im just bending. I only have access to saws hammers nails and glue.

Buy a document stand at any office supply store, etc... Works fine for an iPad in doc or landscape.

Have a look here...

My own adjustable iPad stand

if you look through this thread you will find a few people have made there own stuff at times, i have 2 on here, wood, and an acrylic one. All depends on your skills and what sort of thing you have in mind. good luck.

Depends on what you need. I find that a paperweight or banana under the case does me fine sometimes, just improvising what's available.

I am using a frame holder from Target. It is just painted black wood, but it looks classy on my desk and it was only $4.99. It works great.

Made one for myself out of Meccano. To every point of contact to iPad and table I glued rubber pieces so there is no sliding and scratching.
Pros: Solid construction, lightweight, angle can be easily adjusted.
Cons: Can't be folded or modified without screw driver.
