I really like the design Bob! Good job man!
Thanks man!
I Like To Make Stuff can u make rocks with holes for candle or something like that?
I love everything you make! Its all simple, easy enough to attempt, and AMAZING!
Thank you!!
Symantha Hennlein try to make this then

I don't have an iwatch.. But I reference his videos for a lot of my carpentry projects. He's awesome!
I enjoyed watching it. I really enjoy the iPhone. :D
Your projects are always so easy to follow and I love how you include any mistakes, makes us lot feel better if it happens to us too! Simple yet so effective!!
Thanks! I hope everyone realizes that stuff like that happens to all of us!
Nice project Bob, looks great.
One cheat for fixing splits etc etc is right after you add glue to repair it, hit it with a random orbital sander and the sawdust that isn't pulled in with dust collection will actually add the wood color to the glue, so it will blend in nicely.
Good stuff, keep on keeping on.
Good call!
Adding a brass tube to the base with a lamp behind the phone would look nice and provide additional support for the phone (just to make sure that the tiny plug does not get damaged if bumped while charging). Keep up the great work and continue to motivate makers everywhere.
I always love how you incorporate wood but also electronics in your projects!
Thanks!
Damn it Bob, stop making such amazing videos, I can't keep liking vids before I watch them.
Hahah, sorry? ;) Thanks!
Awesome build, Bob. Simple and super effective, and I love that the cables are removable.
Thanks man! I'm getting a lot of use out of the lathe after all ;)
awesome design! one thing that could make it seem a bit cooler (imo) would be to wrap veneer around the circle watch holder in order to hide the watch charger so that way it'll look sorta like a solid piece of wood
I think it's a good idea, but the back of the watch actually isn't flat. It's got a curve that fits into a mating curve on the charger. I think a veneer would stop them from being able to sit together correctly.
Only 3 years and the production quality and the presentation has gone up exponentially! Still love the old vids, as much as the newer stuff!
Was slightly reluctant to watch this since I am making one at school and I know yours is going to be so much better
Could you make a DIY flexible tripods for a camera?
Great video as always Bob!
The thing I like most about how you produce your videos is how thorough you are in describing what you're doing. No detail is too small, and for someone like me that doesn't make stuff, it's really engaging to hear the process as I see it happen.
That's very nice to hear, thank you! I hope you continue to find them helpful!
Nice simple design Bob! I like how the top piece is tapered and off center a bit from the bottom. - Jim
I am really looking forward to seeing more use with the lathe! I've never actually used one but I just find it really satisfying!
Small simple project like this always presents a lot of challenges. And you find all the cleaver ways to solve them Bob. Great work.
Thanks! :)
Awesome project, Bob. Be careful, the lathe is addicting! If you're anything like me, you'll always be thinking how you can incorporate it into your projects.
Bob, your projects are so fun. Inspires me to keep working at my channel. Thanks for the great ideas.
Awesome to hear! Thanks, keep it up!
Great design, it looks really slick!
Pretty slick. I like how you could make this work for a phone that is always in a case.
very, very nice build Bob. it would be nice to also have a spare USB port at the back so you could plug in a third device too. good job!
Man that looks great. I love darker toned woods with just a clear coat applied to them. So rich. Nice work!
Thanks! Yes, I love the look of walnut!
I like it! Great design choice with that taper
Thanks man!

Dustin Penner In Germany, “Penner” is the unfriendly word for homeless people.
If you had painted it glossy white, it would have been an original Apple product ;)
Simple shapes, clean, cool design !
I really enjoyed this one. Only thing I’d add is a bit more back support of some sort so that I could use it as a desktop charger and still interact with the touch screen without getting some wobble.
DAMN IT! looks like I'm going back to the wood supply store for some more turning blanks. I've been looking for a nice holder, and since I just got my wood lathe, perfect!
I dig it! Easy build, looks good, and gets the job done. What's not to like!?
Thanks Matt!
This looked really stylish! I was surprised at how functional, trendy and simple this build is!
This is pretty awesome. If you squared the shape you could do this pretty easy with just hand tools. Good project, i might try this.
The rounded shape is very cool, wouldn't change it. Nice one Bob!
Awesome, thanks!
I was in and out of this stream a good bit, great to see how great it turned out!
kyjeepguy couldn't agree more
Watching your videos is really increasing my desire to have my own shop with machines. I'm pretty broke so I'm very limited when it comes to resources. I end up using foam board and EVA foam mostly but I do what I can. I appreciate the work you do and enjoy the podcast as well. Keep it up!
Great project, I think few people might be put off by thinking you need a lathe but an old round baton/strut off a stair banister would work really well I'd say.
If you are afraid of hitting the faceplate, using a waste-block is a good idea. The one i use is pretty large so it helps a lot.
Wow I've looked into many designs for charging docks and this one would probably work the best for me
Great!
I don't even have an Apple Watch, I just like to watch you make stuff.
Great idea Bob. I have an Apple Watch and I was going to make a stand, but I like yours. I have to alter your design so I can charge my iPad instead of my phone.
I do like the end result! It's small, round and dark wood looks really nice.
For a second (when you applied the finish) I thought it didn't look great because it looked very old. But honestly in the end it looks very classy and it fits the surrounded technology. Another great project!
Thanks!
I like how it combines old school with new tech. Keep doing projects like this as it is relevant todays issues.
Hey Bob! great video! I make a phone dock that I sell on etsy and I've found the easiest way to carve out the notch for the wire is with a dremel and the round carving bit and a straight edge and a few passes is the perfect size for these wires. The chiseling worked out great, just an extra option. Keep up the great work!
Nice you are using the Metric System :-) Kind regards from Germany
I was thinking of doing something like this but on the dash of my car. It would flip up to hold the cell phone and charge when being used but flip down with not in use. A little more engineering than here but love the idea! Great vid!
I like it very much, but if you can do a DIY tutorial for a similar dock but using basic wood working tools, that would be great! 🤙🏽
What a great piece to make from a small chunk of wood. Another wonderful project!
Thank you!!
Hey Bob, I really enjoyed this video. While that is usually the case with all your videos, I especially liked seeing today's video with cool technology like the Apple Watch being mixed with a custom wooden charging stand.
Subbed to this channel when I came across it randomly late one night a few months ago and proceeded to forget about it, boy am I glad I found it again now! I havent done anything woodwork related in about 5/6 years but I've got the itch to get back into it now! Time to get me some tools, Keep up the good work man!
Awesome!
Perfect! I'm doing this. I have a Samsung with Gear watch. Thanks Bob for the great idea.
More lathe projects! Awesome! It turned out really nice
My only suggestion would be to use braided sheathing and heatshrink to combined the two cables out of the back of the dock, and use a twin-port USB charger at the other end so it's all cleanly packed into a single unit. otherwise, it looks really good and the watch hides the white charge pad nicely
Great video, thanks Bob! Your narrations are my favorite of the makers I follow, and I like that you show the mistakes and how you fix them!
How many tries to get the watch to hit just right in the intro? 😉
At least 10 ;)
you should of made the phone charger slot wireless, it is possible to charge your phone wirellesly with sometype of coil below.
rapolas st why don't you do that?
i have a youtube channel relietuvis, but it is about lego
I was thinking the same thing lmao
Nice to see you really getting comfortable with your new lathe. I just bought one yesterday and I'm scared to take it out of the box!
Don't be scared, just be careful! It's fun!
My first project is a file handle thanks to you. Pretty excited!
I love this! If only I wore a watch. Might make it anyways and just put something decorative in the front instead. Thanks for another great tutorial!
You should sell some on etsy. I would so buy one!!! Awesome design, it's exactly what I need!
I love it! My wife asked me to make her a dock for her watch and phone. This is the perfect design.
Great! I hope it's helpful!
I think I like this project and will likely make a variation of it for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
omfg believe it or not, i was thinking about too for my moto 360 + Sony... maybe extra usb port too (for gopro etc)
and again, you made it so good! good job Bob!!
holy **** i got so many likes.
Great design Bob simple and easy. I think I'm going to make myself one of them. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Awesome, thanks!
love the design. simple but very elegant.
That would look soooooo good on like a home office desk or something.
haha, as you were using that big chisel, I was thinking "he's going with the grain, that's going to split".... and then you split it ;)
:) Yeah, I was just trying to break top surface but got a little too excited I guess :)
Gonna be honest. I watch all your videos, but I almost didn't watch this video because of so much apple product. however I do like the concept, looks great Bob!
nice one Mr Clagett, loved the podcast this week
If I were you id make a shop and sell your cool creations especially this, the guitar case and the wooden sword would be awesome
Dude, honestly I think you could sell these for a good price, It's just that good.
I love the way you say Hot Glue.
Congratulations on 1 Million!
Thanks!
Sweet love the walnut and using hot glue is perfect great idea.
that project was simple and effective. its awesome
I was a little worried how it was going to turn out after seeing some of the "guts," but it looks great! I like how you don't really pay attention to parts that will not be seen. I need to learn to do that more.
Great looking project. It would be cool if you added like a felt lining or something soft so that the phone and watch doesn't scratch. 👍🏻
going to steal this idea for a Mothers Day gift.
Go for it!!
Nice! I have a bamboo one that's kind of clunky. I think I'm going to have to make one of these.
Very Cool project! Looks Amazing! I would buy one if I saw it for sale somewhere.
Made something similar to this in my shop class in high school !
I need to make one of these for my nightstand, been putting off too long. Nice build man!
Love this man, Ive been pricing out prefabbed Amazon stuff and Id rather take the time to make one. Love the video and your approach. Awesome finished product! ALso the hot glue was sweet..never thought of that
Beautiful piece! Great blend of oldschool and new!
Very nice design, and practical. Love how it hides yhe wires.
Such a great idea, although I dont have a smart watch haha. The phone part is surely on my list of proyects!
Don't let Apple see this idea. They will find a way to overcharge for it. Nice quick and easy project Bob.
Hahah, too true :) Thanks!
You should really charge Apple for this video. They're gonna make a few mill off this when they release their $500 dual charge stand that'll basically be this heh
Rowdy Penguin yeah sell it to them before they catch it im serious .. its only fair u get the cash for the craft .
Rowdy Penguin Ikr
Or u could say that it had been copyrighted and fine them
nice job man and yes that's the famous diresta icepick cheers
Hi from France Bob! :)
I would love to do all the stuff you do.. but so many tools are needed (and mastering it!).. and of course the space it needs. But I really love your projects and the way you are presenting all of that, it's really refreshing!
Keep the good work!!
Love your simple, rustic design man! This would also look really great with a hexagonal or a different simple geometric shape. Actually as you were whittling the wood down, it looked really interesting with sharper edges. Well done
Thanks! Yeah, you could experiment with all sorts of different shapes on this one with effectively the same construction!
I really like this wish I had a lathe so I could make this but this is definitely an awesome project
Always wanted to make something like this... Now it's just a really ugly cable somewhere loose on my nightstand and one on my counter. This looks so much better...
hey bob ive been waiting a ling time for a easy video like this to make a phone dock. Great job man!
*long
It looks really nice
Nice use of the ice pick!
I like it a lot, maybe a good project for the future, but right now, need to finish my King size bed (with storage)
Very cool! It's amazing how a little lacquer can make it so beautiful.
Love it! Way better then my phone falling between the night stand and the bed!!
Awesome project!!
Some LED strip would be super awesome (but if that will sit at your bed side table, you probably would not want that).
Great stuff as usual!!!
Very cool project! Love the look of this!
Thanks Peter!
Very cool man, you should do more smaller projects like these! (Though I still love the longer ones too)
Damn I was just looking for a dock myself, haha. What might make it better for your phone is a little magnetic connection, I bought one from aliexpress, there is a male that goes into your phone and sits flush on the bottom, and then the connector has a female you plug your cable into, then they join together to make a circuit. I like it because it keeps your power port closed off and free of dust. I'd like a dock with a passive speaker so I can play music or have my alarm made louder if charging my phone, and for me, I also would like a dock to charge my gen2 iPad, but ideally I'd like it all wired so I can just plug in maybe a USB mini or micro and charge all 3 at once, but that's in a 'one day' pile. I think I'll end up buying a few cheap ones and modding them until I decide exactly what I want, but cool to watch your idea on it, we must be pretty alike as I want/need/make a lot of your projects!
Nice project, Bob!
I love the design Bob! Really awesome!
Thanks Doug!
