Very nice idea! I am looking forward to making these for my wife's book club members - they'd love it! And we're all at the age where we need to wear reading glasses so that little nook is perfect 🙂
A great idea! Perfect for craft fairs. I just did one and wasn’t the right venue for my higher end art pieces. This however would probably have sold well. I’d like to take it a step farther and add an edge at the bottom to hold a Kindle or iPad . Now you’d have all your bases covered. Excellent presentation young man 👍🏼👍🏼
One thing I look for when subscribing is after I watch the video then get asked to subscribe, yes very nice project, thank you for your content! God bless you
I'm so glad I found ur channel in the last couple of years. I have been doing crafts from simple key chains to woodworking or carving. Love that u explain how u made it. Can't wait to c other video's! Happy new year & thanks for sharing. Stay well!!
I made a prototype of one out of scraps the other day, and decided it looked good enough to practice my finishing on. Much like your experience, I posted it on my personal Facebook page and someone wanted the prototype within a hour of posting, and I had a couple of orders within a few hours, just among my friends, not on my business page. I was totally surprised by the interest on it just within a few hours. Now here I am looking for inspiration and add ons I haven’t thought of and hear the exact same thing I experienced just earlier today lol.
It’s funny because I hate the cliche thumbnails “why isn’t everyone making these” but just like you said, as soon as I made it, people started wanting it. I’m actually working on a new Video with some upgrades, like a lip to hold a tablet, a place to mount a pen or highlighter, a page spreader, and an actual drawer that goes inside of the triangle.
@@SothpawDesigns I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I thought of maybe adding an eye hook or small dowel from the top of the front to hang a pair of readers, and I also put some small felt furniture pads on the bottom of the one going out tomorrow.
Hi, these are great products we make them in the UK and they sell really well. We make four different designs and own the design rights to sell and make them UK only. We make these and other products through Oakinc.❤
Hey man, first time coming across your channel. I've never seen one of these but I liked it immediately, and thought "gee, I could use one of those". I've only just discovered woodworking and I really appreciate guys like you who take the time to walk through how it's made. This is a great project that is right at my speed. Definitely gunna try to make one this weekend man. Thanks again!
I've only been at it a little over a year, and jumping around a lot, so the subs have been hit and miss. This is the type of content that I've been wanting to focus on, and I felt like this video would do well, but it's taken off more than I thought it would. Don't worry, after the success of this type of video, and considering it's the type of content that I'd rather be making, I'll be making many more in this area. My subs have jumped over 1,600 since posting this video, so it's obvious that this is the type of content I should be focusing on. Appreciate the support!
Probably the best and easiest of life hacks I’ve ever seen. Simple but extremely useful. Thanks for sharing this, I’m going out to get some nice hardwood now and there’s no prize for guessing what my friends will be getting for their birthday gifts. Brilliant.
I've come across this video but passed it up a couple of times. I finally watched it and I am so glad I did. First off, I subscribed. Secondly, your explanation is excellent and you providing measurements and walking through, step by step how you make this is also a bonus. Yes it's simple but the most simple things can be the nicest and most profitable. I like the pricing structure and the free engraving. I have an X-Tool pro 40 w so that will make quick work of the engraving. Thanks again and good luck with your channel!!
What a cool little project. Hoping to get more home based part time work by expanding my wood projects (cutting out some of the firewood, shoulders won't last forever) and being home more often so we can travel too. Thanks, Bruce
Omg I just love the ease with which you use your tools. My husband has just retired and he loves woodwork but unfortunately we don’t have any space to set him up. I want him to join the local “Men’s Shed “ and want to buy him some sort of saw/tool to get him started. Can anyone suggest what would be the best thing to buy him to get him going. Thank you 👏❤️🇮🇪
The first tool that I started with was a table saw. Very versatile and able to make multiple jigs to accomplish many tasks. Here's what I use. amzn.to/3RFPOwE
I wish I could share. I made that same project, but added a bit more pizzazz to it. If only I could shoot you a picture. It would be nice to have someone who could appreciate what I made.
Speaking as a (potential) customer, I was unaware of this style book caddy until I bought one for my mother for Christmas off of Etsy, I forget exactly whom. Hey, sellers: This is a bonafide product that should be a quick little money maker once you have your jigs made up.
I wholeheartedly agree. It's a simple project with a lot of possibilities. The thumbnail "Why Isn't Everyone Making These?" seems a little cliche, but when I made it, that was my honest response. It's a great project.
@SothpawDesigns I love this design and project. On a side note... I leave the paper on the acrylic for the v10 when it comes off the laser so it doesn't get scratched while being shipped to Daniel or while being shipped to you. You can remove it and it will allow you a little view of the bit or really a lot of swirling chips/dust. #PwnCNC #imakestuffwithrobots
I made some for. Christmas for family. My problem is 1) no planer 2) no table saw-I used a miter saw 3) I used pallet wood which was very uneven. I made them work and I actually use mine a lot. I made a jig to cut angles on miter saw but next time I would go with hardwood. Thanks for sharing
Such a simple idea helped my nephew Make one for his girlfriend a couple of years ago and she loved it. Just wished I had a laser to personalize them. That’s a great touch.
I am having trouble with the angles coming out. Seems like I set my saw correctly but there’s always a gap. Which means I probably didn’t set my saw correctly. I’ll keep messing with it. I love the project!
Yup, several people have offered little suggestions like that. I'm going to make a followup video with some upgrades that can easily be added, such as that, a drawer that can be added, and a pencil/pen holder.
Thanks for another great video. Now that Christmas is over could you do a video on what to make and sell now? Also, we are practically neighbors. Im in Jeffersonville, IN lol
I really like this idea. I just bought a CNC and it's still not put together yet. The 40W laser was backordered and should be here in a week or so. Once I learn and get good at it, I'd like to make one of these for my daughter. I imagine people putting these on their night stand. So, the only thing I might do different is instead of the round part being for a coffee cup, I might put a flat/round phone cordless phone charger there. I know I sleep next to my phone and use it as a back up alarm incase the electricity goes out. Thanks for the video and great idea.
I made one of these for my wife. I like your gluing jig better than my way. I taped the off cuts with the 22.5 angle to the sides at the top and just used clamps. I might make some more after seeing this. Did you wax the jig 1st? Seems like if you had any glue squeeze out the piece would stick to the jig.
Thanks for the video. I have tried to make a few out of red cedar planks. The warping is suck a pain to deal with. I don't have a plane of any kind. So I ended up making a similar design in tinkercad and 3d printing it.
Nice project that I want to try attempting - I don't have CNC but have basic woodworking tools. To recap the base is 12" x 4" and the tall pieces are 7" x 5.25" . Am I right or missing something? Thanks in advance.
That’s pretty much it. Cut the angles properly, and if there is any overhang on the sides, you can leave it, or sand, or use a small plane to smooth it off. The CNC/laser is nice for advanced shapes or engraving, but not necessary
Great video! Further customization ideas for those without CNC would be to round the corners of the coaster end, easy enough if you have a sanding disc, and to create a routing template to use a handheld router to create a shallow recess for the mug. I wish i had time to run a batch of these, but it'll have to wait until my walk-in closet project is done...in 10 years or so, based on time spent. ;-)
Or you could be like me and start multiple new projects daily before the already started ones aren’t finished…. I give free lessons 😒 So many things to do and so little time !
I've seen several different woodworkers use a similar gig and clamping the pieces to have that 22.5° angle cut on the ends of them like that. So, if it's a 'bad idea', you're in good company at least.

I always wait to watch your next videos, great, thanks
A nice, clean, concise and well presented video, zero fluff, no overbearing music, no unnecessary filler content..
👌
Oh, and the project is cool too
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate it.
@genelomas332 the idea is to have an item to sell
I just made 3 of these in a simpler version! No cup holder just the 3 sided stand. My daughter and 2 grandkids loved them.
They're so simple. I never thought I'd like doing this so much.
Thank you. This is exactly what I am working on. I am excited about the shifts I am feeling already. 🙏
Very nice idea! I am looking forward to making these for my wife's book club members - they'd love it! And we're all at the age where we need to wear reading glasses so that little nook is perfect 🙂

Brilliant! Will definitely be making some of these!
This is such a unique and fantastic gift for those who still love turning pages in a book. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! This wasn't my original idea, but I did put my own spin on it. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Glad you like it.
Great job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it looks great Keep building God Bless
Thank you. This was a fun one!
Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend......Inside a dog, it's too dark to read. Samuel Clemens.
BAHAHAA!!
One of my favorites quotes!
😂😂😂
I read this quote in a Groucho Marx book.
You should bet one of those little, battery-operated reading lights.
This is great and has been on my to make list for a while. Thanks for posting a simple how to to make it even easier!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Thank you! It was fun and simple, I recommend it highly.
Love it! I think I will have to make one for myself. Thanks for sharing it! 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Welcome aboard! Appreciate that.
An added addition would be to mill out a small pocket for the cup to sit into which would make it more secure.
Great design, thank you for sharing.
Great and simple idea. Keep up the good work!
I’ll say this man God bless you for sharing your idea to help others make money. Bless you brother !

Awesome! I hope they do!!
I like this project a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!
You’re welcome!!
I just bought a cnc machine and I’m going to try out this simple project and see how it goes! Thanks for idea!
Cool
I like that it's got the built in coaster.
I am definitely going to try making this! Thanks for sharing your idea!!

Thank You for the simple but very handy accessory idea. The examples you provided look great. Keep up the good videos. Have A Productive Day! 🛻🚚🚛
Thanks, you too!
Genius little project!
Thanks Garrett. Enjoy your work! Learned a great deal from you over the past couple of years!
Daaaaaaaaaaang! A beautiful, SIMPLE project! Thanks for the idea!

Blessings, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Brilliant design & build.
Thank you!! Not my original idea. I saw something similar and decided to tweak it and make it my own
Great idea
Well done
& thank you
Love this..awesome idea..I’d love to learn how to do wood working
Great video. Thank you for the idea and instructions.
Thanks for watching.
As a reader, I think this is brilliant!!!!
Appreciate it. Not my original idea, but I put my own spin on it
Thank you for the great tips!! Now to attempt my first book holder!
Good luck!!
Thank you. I really enjoyed your video.

Good creative project
Great design - nice workmanship
Thank you very much!

Great idea 💡
Thank you for sharing your knowledge & wisdom!!!
Not so much knowledge and wisdom as it is trial and error, but I appreciate the compliment.
😲 Kool!
Don't forget to say made in USA! 🇺🇲
😲Thanks for Sharing I'm thinking about making one for myself!
This is the first video of yours I have seen. It is a great video, and good project. Keep it up.
Thanks.
Thanks for your detailed, yet succinct explanation of how to make this clever and simple bookstand. New sub here!
Awesome, thank you!
Cool project!
Thanks!
I've made some of these. I leave one side of the base a little wider so I can cut a groove in it to also turn it into an IPad stand/holder.
Good idea. A couple of people have mentioned that.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Great project. Great vid. Keep’em comin! Merry Christmas.
Thanks, you too! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for sharing - a great little project!
Glad you like it!
Awesome content mate, I'll have to make this one for my other half. Cheers mate , thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Love the design. Definitely giving this a go. 😊
Have fun! I'd love to hear any improvements you make on it.
Great project! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
that is an amazing project. My wife wants one now
Lol, I just send this video to my husband's phone!
Love it!!
Thanks for sharing this great idea. I wish I could come up with a new idea and it be that nice!
Can't say that I invented the concept. I saw something like it, then tried to tweak it a little to put my own spin on it.

This is really great! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Shawn and friends!!

Thank you!
Love this 👍
Very creative! Congrats!
Thank you! Cheers!
I can already see me over-engineering this darn thing and making it harder than it needs to be. Perfect Imperfections... That's me!
I am having trouble with the angles coming out. Seems like I set my saw correctly but there’s always a gap. Which means I probably didn’t set my saw correctly. I’ll keep messing with it. I love the project!
Great idea. This could be easily made to be multi functional simply by making the base slightly wider and adding a groove to hold my tablet.
Yup, several people have offered little suggestions like that. I'm going to make a followup video with some upgrades that can easily be added, such as that, a drawer that can be added, and a pencil/pen holder.
That is an awesome project! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for another great video. Now that Christmas is over could you do a video on what to make and sell now? Also, we are practically neighbors. Im in Jeffersonville, IN lol
What a great idea!!
I think so too! I saw it online and decided to give it my own twist.
prettry good idea thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Very nice idea!
Thank you! Cheers! Not my original idea, but I tweaked something that I saw online.
I really like this idea. I just bought a CNC and it's still not put together yet. The 40W laser was backordered and should be here in a week or so. Once I learn and get good at it, I'd like to make one of these for my daughter. I imagine people putting these on their night stand. So, the only thing I might do different is instead of the round part being for a coffee cup, I might put a flat/round phone cordless phone charger there. I know I sleep next to my phone and use it as a back up alarm incase the electricity goes out. Thanks for the video and great idea.
Yup, you can tweak it any number of ways. The phone stand/charger is a good adjustment.
Thank You.@@SothpawDesigns
I made one of these for my wife. I like your gluing jig better than my way. I taped the off cuts with the 22.5 angle to the sides at the top and just used clamps. I might make some more after seeing this. Did you wax the jig 1st? Seems like if you had any glue squeeze out the piece would stick to the jig.
I didn’t wax it, but that’s a good call. I just didn’t use a great deal of glue, considering that it wouldn’t bear much weight. Good call though.
Great idea; easy t customize as well.
Thanks for the video. I have tried to make a few out of red cedar planks. The warping is suck a pain to deal with. I don't have a plane of any kind. So I ended up making a similar design in tinkercad and 3d printing it.
Yup, warping can be tough to deal with. So you 3D print the entire book caddy? That's a good idea!
Nice project that I want to try attempting - I don't have CNC but have basic woodworking tools.
To recap the base is 12" x 4" and the tall pieces are 7" x 5.25" . Am I right or missing something? Thanks in advance.
That’s pretty much it. Cut the angles properly, and if there is any overhang on the sides, you can leave it, or sand, or use a small plane to smooth it off. The CNC/laser is nice for advanced shapes or engraving, but not necessary
Nice work!
Thanks!
Very nice ! Cool stuff , sell at colleges and schools..
Great video! Further customization ideas for those without CNC would be to round the corners of the coaster end, easy enough if you have a sanding disc, and to create a routing template to use a handheld router to create a shallow recess for the mug. I wish i had time to run a batch of these, but it'll have to wait until my walk-in closet project is done...in 10 years or so, based on time spent. ;-)
Great ideas. My goal is to start showing more options with these types of projects.
Or you could be like me and start multiple new projects daily before the already started ones aren’t finished…. I give free lessons 😒
So many things to do and so little time !
that is flippin' genius sir
Thanks
Great project!
I've seen several different woodworkers use a similar gig and clamping the pieces to have that 22.5° angle cut on the ends of them like that. So, if it's a 'bad idea', you're in good company at least.
Great project, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!!
I am so damn excited that I found this video! You also gained a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow. Awesome! I appreciate that.
