What we're going to actually use is mirror, we'll focus on just drawing one half of the caddy arm and then we'll use mirror, since this is a symetrical part to generate the second half of the caddy arm. For this particular part of the drawing we're going to ignore this handle portion and we're going to do that a little bit down the road so yours will just have a flat surface going all the way across. A couple of notes about the shape we have a one inch bracket it's one inch by one inch and the material thickness is 0.1.
