Mike Makes a CUSTOM Apple Watch Charging Stand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Ryan Parker just bought an Apple Watch and wanted to make a charging station to hold it next to his iPhone. We designed this stand together and made it from layered wood (black walnut) and UMHW plastic.
It uses the magnet from the Watch charger to hold it horizontally next to his phone and will be able to display the time ( Watch OS 2). Next week we plan on adding LED lights to the base so that the white plastic illuminates when it's plugged in!
Overall this project came out WAY more professional than my expectations. The finished product looks and feels solid.

looks good!! would have looked even better with the cable for the watch hidden
That is TOO GREAT TO BE HANDMADE, WELL DONE BOYS!
Thats great guys!! I like when young people make this kind of ART.
Ah! Sharp chisels! Nice to see. Usually on these hybrid channels they don't know how to maintain tools!
Have to add on the Chargers also
Very nice. I got some extra cord so i might try one for mine and wife's phone.
One thing i would have suggested is use flush mount screws to bottom so if have to get a new cord.
what if you have a case for iphone? will it fit the space you have carved out?
Great job. How did you glue the plastic cutting board to the timber ?
Any way to splice the watch and iPhone chargers so that you have one cable?
That's amazing!
Hi dear mike
What was the spray that you sprayed on the wood that made it look fascinating pls tell me
Tnx
ali behbahani It's called spray lacquer.
Nice work...
LMAOOOO YOU GOT KNOCKED TF OUT
Poor design, all the weight of the phone stays in the power connector
Sell it
And that's why safety glasses are so important kids! :D
Always respect your power tools kids, not saying he didn’t, just a sober reminder even small pieces can cause a lot of damage.
woah neckbeard
BTW...... I'd definitely buy one. Can't wait to see the LED version!
Great, project. I'm making a couple of my own out of cherry. Any chance you are going to post the second video with the LED and electrical part, my personal weakness.
Sweet project, hope everything heals up good for ya.
Shop built Thanks, feeling better today.
nice video, you schould check out my channel would be cool
Pro tip:
NEVER use the fence when making crosscuts - always use a miter gauge when cutting across the grain of wood to avoid kickback on a table saw. Good luck and safe travels for anyone who might attempt this 👍🏻
Looks awesome!!! But...who takes their watch off and then clasps it again to charge it?
That is the worst beard I have ever seen
Kris Maples
forget the beard the other guy had a vry bad accident omg his nose ...:that really put me off using the machine😰😰
4:08 "Wassup mom"
You could sell that for like $75.00 U.S. Easy
great finished product, do you have measurements for board and watch holder
IDK who Ryan is but please shave that neck beard...lol
Dude don't mess with the table saw, awesome project hope it was worth the pain.
Cheers
Tim from wood 4 nothing
+Mike and Lauren Curious where you guys went with splicing the wires to only use 1 plug later on. If I am not mistaken the iPhone 6 and forward support fast charge allowing you to charge your iPhone at 2 amps vs the regular 1amp or 500ma. Add that to whatever current the apple watch draws (I would guess between 500ma and 1amp) and you'll find yourself wanting a USB power block capable of producing 3amps through a single port if you want the fastest charge the phone is capable of.
Look forward to hearing what you guys did! Cheers, and great video! also subscribed ;)
The first thought I had when I saw you use the table saw was "use a riving knife" I've been woodworking for years. Table saw injuries are horrible. I'm glad your injuries were minimal.
This looks amazing, probably gonna be the first thing I build when I get my Apple Watch soon 😁
It`s good but I cannot make such thing at home. I wish I can get a charging dock that charges all the smart devices like iPhone 6, Apple watches, Gear2, and others.
You should sell these. The end product came out amazing.
that socket for phone is spot on, how did you manage to be so accurate when pouring in epoxy.
Thumbs up if you have no clue who the fuck "Ryan Parker" Is! haha
It looks so cool! If I had the tools I would definitely give it a try.
It looks so cool
It would be perfect if you somehow could hide the white cable from the apple watch charger ;)
Would be much better if you hide the cabels for the iWatch charging unit ...
how did you cut a whole into the plastic part for the watch charger , what size bit did you use?
Do you have any problem gluing the hdpe with epoxy?
Would you be willing to accept money to make one of these for me?
I would pay 200 bucks for that no problem
Anyone know what LED would be ise for this?
I built my Apple Watch stand too out of Legos
Bullshit! You got punched by your friend
So i just started watching your videos and wondered what the heck happened to your nose. Well now I know, lol.
+Kevin Brezina Lol, yup...
Any thoughts about adding LED lights under the base to make the white plastic glow?
+Kevin Adams Never mind. I should have finished the video. Looks good.
Great work! I hope your nose is better by now!
shit, that must be hurt. be carefull dude
That weird plastic is HDPE (High-density polyethylene) I believe it's the same thing that milk jugs are made of. Recycle number 2.
What We Made Ultra-High Molecular Weight is a polyethylene, little different then High-Density, but pretty close. I would have preferred to use King StarBoard (a HDPE) instead of the UHMW. Cleaner look. I'll be doing mine totally out of StarBoard I think, probably sandwich two different colors. You can't clue HDPE well so I'll probably screw from the bottom.
What was the total cost to make it?
DLPeace $3 dollar scrap of walnut, $10 dollars for the plastic, $340 dollars for stitches...
diy charging stand on top of the diy table, living the diy dream :D
Juel Pereira Haha for real!
U can buy one for like 20 bucks
Interestingly enough, I watched you using the tablesaw (incorrectly) and thought, oh you are going to hurt yourself doing that. You shouldn’t push a piece through with a hand on each side of the wood unless you’re cutting a really large piece. I know people do it, but will bite you eventually. Get a push block that puts downward pressure on the piece against the fence. Not saying this is how you injured yourself btw.
Why you no sell !!! I need you sell lol
oh man, glad you are okay. Going back to table saw footage and saw there wasn't a riving knife ='( ='(
You should start selling these
nice, you can use it with a case...
Well this is a little dumb but they made protection for this stuff for a reason just saying....
Pretty awesome, only a couple small suggestions, you should have future-proofed it because now it's limited to only an iPhone that size, you can't get a bigger iPhone in the future or one that is thicker or possibly even thinner, also I think you should have hidden the watch cable to give it a clean front look, but that's just my opinion, still very nice
Hi what is the name of the glue that you used to bond the plastic to the wood?
+jack Hockett It was 5 minute epoxy from home depot.
At the first moment i thought you distroyed his iphone and he punshes you 😂
sunc93 HAHA! Darn it! I should have said that.
DOPE. Great job dude. In many cultures, one is not considered a man until they're stabbed by a piece of wood.. lol
What's the thickness of the "plastic" and for the leds did you just put them under the plastic or you cut the plastic to put them inside??
Felix Blaquiere The plastic was 1/2 inch. And we just cut the wood underneath and put the LED next to the plastic.
Thanks
dammnnn that looks so nice
You should make me one. Lol
why are we not funding thius!! Lol awesome stand
+Musica20009 Haha, we accept cash or check. Just kidding, we're not selling them, sorry....
Can u make me one and how much
thats so nice good job
What kind of table saw blade did you use to cut the UMHW? Ie, tooth count, tooth cut type, etc. Thanks and it looks great!
How do I get one. :)
I'd buy it from you lol
Can you guys make me one
hand still bleeding
Phineas and ferb
Thank you!
looks like UHMW
How do I but one
Would you guys building me one like that so I can purchase it?
awesome
Hmmm not too bad
öncelikle geçmiş olsun..süper olmuş ince işçilik...
I liked it but hated the white part from the watch stand 🤔😭
Now go make me one for free?
Hi, love the charger. What adhesive did you use to join the timber to the plastic cutting board.
What other kind of material would look good in the middle. Thinking about making one
Really awesome❗️❗️ you should make a ton of these sell them for $50 and you'll make thousands trust me!
Thank you
Awsom look
Ha!!! Jack ass
Would you be interested in selling a stand?
swimmer99 I've actually received several requests. At first I said no, but now I'm thinking I should make a few to sell. If I do, we'll post a video about it.
nice work Mike👌 why don't you use a riving nife?
Martijn Fransen While a riving knife is a good safety feature for preventing kickback, I don't think it would have helped with something that small. They are used to keep a board that you're ripping from pinching the blade on the back side of the cut.
The riving knife is exactly what this is for. To prevent the work piece from slipping behind the blade and getting launched at you. As soon as I saw your first table saw cut I said out loud 'where is the riving knife?' and then I saw you again with black eyes and knew what happened immediately. Make a cross cut sled for small pieces and use the riving knife when not using the sled. I hope you are still alive to be reading this post.
Cool
wow!
Can u make one for me?
I was using woodprix instructions to make it and I did it already :)
Is it possible for you to give the dimensions of the base?
+Justin Vu Sorry, I don't have it anymore. I gave it to my friend.
Thank you so much anyways!
That turned out really well guys! I was wondering what was up with the frosted bit in the middle...then I saw it lit up and I totally get it. Really good idea.
The Proper Gents Thanks!
This came out looking amazing! Sorry to hear about your nose. But great job on this. Wouldn't be interested in making me one would you?
Arthur Seabra Thanks! I've had a bunch of interest. If I decide to make a few more, I'll make a video about where to buy them.
